I am about to purchase a micro fiber-suede sectional and in a beige color. Well, the store wants to charge me $150 to get the fabric protector. I would rather buy something else with that money. I would like to know if I can buy something over the counter to protect it without ruining it if I apply it myself. Has anyone used some kind of protector and with what results? Good or bad? Please help, thank you!!

Spend the $150 fabric protection. I felt the same way you did, but got it any way. I keep my living room curtains open every day and in the past the sun really faded the furniture. The fabric protector I got has protected the furniture from fading. Plus, I had a surprise--my son, his son, and two dogs moved in with me about six months ago because of divorce. There is no lasting dirt or spill stains on the furniture though there been many spills and paw prints.

you can buy over the counter sprays for your couch. it is called a fabric protector spray which comes in a can. it is similar to the spray you buy for your suede shoes which makes them stain resistant and more water proof. t is called scotchgard fabric protector. see link below. it is easy to put on just follow instructions. good luck save your money

I worked in a group home and Scotch Guarded the couch in the evening. It was ready to sit on by the late afternoon. They always hand sprayed their furniture to protect it. It is crazy to pay $150 for a few minutes of work and a day for the item to dry.

Scotchguard makes a spray on application which is pretty good. You can buy it at any full service hardware store or possibly on line. It will be cheaper than paying for the protector. All they will do is spray it on before it is delivered and you can do it yourself much much cheaper.

Don't get the fabric protector from the store. It is not worth it. Trust me. I got it when I purchased my couch.

Don't waist you money. I paid for dirt repellent, what a waist! I'm not sure they even treated it.
