Helps block liquids
I put this on my sofa, I ran out halfway through because you need to apply two coats. The liquid is white and the bottle is white, so I didn't realize it was almost empty. At a glance it looked like the bottle was still full, then I realized it was opaque. A lot more must come out with the sprayer than I realized!<br /><br />Honestly, I have not noticed much dirt and water-repelling qualities. I still have to use my Bissel Green Machine to clean up spills. It helps the liquid pool up without totally soaking into the upholstery, but it's not 100% waterproof. However, in exchange for that, it's not stiff like ScotchGuard or anything. With the small quantity I would use it on something like dining room chairs. It took too much product to cover an entire sectional.<br /><br />I wouldn't view this as a stain prevention method, but rather something that buys you time to clean it up with a stronger product.
