Aww, thank you! That really means a lot. I always want to share what I can and make sure it's genuine and how I would want someone to talk with me if we were just having a conversation. Best of luck with the convincing!! It's definitely worth it. We eat on the couch for the most part (still no dining room table yet lol) and have spilled so much on it already and it has saved us big time!! No stains. Well probably do it again in another couple months at least on our spots we sit when we eat.

My lounge was done by company pre delivery, not since. I have tiles with rugs, and we have an old dog that goes outside and occasionally leaks when comes back inside I have shampooed the rug , this time 4 coats. It seems to work but a big plus is I don't think the dog likes the smell. He now leaks on the tiles. The smells, I bought a small cabinet for the kid and by the time I finished assembly I was extremely sick and dizzy. We let it ventilate a couple of weeks, then let kid have it. I should have taken back.

So, yeah, you took it outside...but really you should invest in some genuine protection against inhaling that and lots of other chemicals!!!

We got them at a local spot here in Florida, called Haynes Brothers. There are three along the coast. I called the store though to ask for the make and model. It's an England Malibu (www.englandfurniture.com/england-malibu-sectional/2400-sect-401/iteminformation.aspx). This particular color was getting discontinued, but there is one very close to it. There might still be some left. We took the instore floor model, but I remember him saying there was one left in that color in another store. The couch was super reasonable in comparison to other ones we had been looking at!

Hi, thanks! no, there was no difference in our texture. I am not sure about other fabrics, but it felt the same for us. Overtime the fabric will soften just with use like any new couch. That was the case for us too. We plan to scotchgaurd again in another few months just in the places we utilize the most often as the protectant has started to wear away some, but all good everywhere and hasn't effected the quality or texture of the fabric.

They've removed the ingredient that made it super toxic and rebranded with a different formula. It's still made with chemical elements but none that have had to be pulled for the reasons the old scotchgard was pulled for. It was completely removed from the market until it was made safe enough to use again.
