Staying LUXE Longer

Naturals & Synthetics

Given the fact that many upholstery fabrics can stain easily and clean poorly,  it is imperative to apply protector to upholstery made with natural and/or synthetic fabrics…including carpets and fine textiles. To solve this issue, we present to you LUXE Protection for natural & synthetics.

Let’s talk about natural and synthetic fabrics as they are the main ones. Experts call these the fabrics for high traffic households. These fabrics are also used for commercial applications or areas where there is high traffic that see the most wear and tear.

Standard fabric protectors that have been used in recent decades on our furniture and upholstery produce extremely poisonous synthetic chemicals. These products endanger our well-being and our world.  The solution is to use our LUXE Fabric Protection. One only needs to observe how readily fabric protection application is added when new furniture is purchased to see both the need and opportunity that exists in regards to protector application after cleaning.

However, unlike carpeting, upholstery has several variables that make the decision of what type of protector to apply, if any, more difficult than with carpet. But with LUXE it will help guard your carpets, rugs fine fabrics against those stains.

How upholstery in natural and synthetic fabrics is different?

In comparison to a fabric, carpet or rug that primarily utilizes synthetic fibers, upholstery may have a significant amount of synthetic or natural fibers, in blends, or both.

The application of LUXE protection on synthetic fabrics (nylon, polyester, olefin, and acrylic) is the best option. Natural fibers and regenerated cellulose fibers (rayon’s and acetates) may not respond to water-based protective applications and can also be susceptible to some problems with the added moisture that the protector absorbs after use.

These problems include:

Cellulose browning, water stains, shrinking or contraction, sometimes change of strands shape (natural velvets stiffen) and discoloration.

If you choose to protect such materials after cleaning, you are left with only one choice:

Apply LUXE-protectors for synthetic fabrics as they are effective on all fiber types. It is far less likely that LUXE protectors will cause any of the above-listed post-application problems.

The best way — according to the facts the best way is to apply LUXE protector to all synthetic fiber fabrics, and durable blends that are not subject to color or texture problems.

LUXE protectors may be the only choice for hyper-sensitive fabrics, such as raw cotton, natural fiber velvet, non-colorfast jacquard weaves, etc. as it will help guard your carpets, rugs and fine fabrics against those unsightly stains. It will not wash out and will keep protecting your fine textile for years to come.
