Non-Toxic Fabric Protection: Better for Your Home, Family & the Environment
Many traditional fabric protection products used on furniture and household fabrics over the years have relied on synthetic chemical ingredients. Some of these substances, commonly referred to as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), have raised concerns because studies suggest they may affect both human health and the environment.
Research has linked long-term PFAS exposure to possible impacts on organs such as the liver and thyroid, as well as hormonal changes. Another concern is that these substances can remain in the environment and in the body for extended periods because they do not easily break down over time.
Choosing a fabric protector made with safer ingredients can help support a cleaner home environment while reducing exposure to unnecessary chemicals.
Here’s a closer look at the ingredients used in our formula:
Deionized Water & Amorphous Silicon Dioxide (Sio2)
Is SofaGuard Premium Fabric Protector spray vegan and cruelty free ?
Yes, our eco-friendly fabric protector is made without animal testing and doesn't use any animal products.
What are the chemicals I should avoid when comparing fabric protectors?
When comparing fabric protectors, it can be helpful to look for products that are free from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). PFAS are synthetic chemicals commonly used in many traditional stain- and water-repellent products and are sometimes referred to as PFOA, PFOS, PFCs/Fluorocarbons, or GenX chemicals.
These substances have received increased attention due to research suggesting possible links between long-term exposure and certain health concerns. PFAS are also often called “forever chemicals” because they do not easily break down and may remain in the environment for long periods.
Choosing our SofaGuard Premium Fabric Protector Spray PFAS-free alternatives can help reduce unnecessary chemical exposure while supporting a cleaner home environment.
