FibreGuard: A Quick Fix
Keeping this in mind, our experts advise customers to first consider the UV resistance and cleanability of a fabric before falling in love with the look and feel.
FibreGuard’s high-performance attributes, that were initially reserved for commercial interiors, are now readily available for residential applications. Washability and cleanability are vital to modern life, maintenance needs to be simple, easy, and affordable. Additionally, being Oeko-tex 100 certified, we are confident that it is safe for your family, pets, and the environment.
Furnishing your home with inherent stain-resistant fabrics doesn’t mean you need to search for a specific product or engage an expensive professional cleaner to remedy every spill. In fact, it’s actually the opposite because with FibreGuard you can spend five, stress-free minutes cleaning it yourself with misted water and a cloth. Unlike topical stain repellent treatments, FibreGuard provides inherent protection, so fabrics can be spot cleaned every time food spills, even wine, touch the surface.
FibreGuard is inherent in the fabric, it is applied to the yarns before they are woven and capable of withstanding up to 50 commercial cleans. Unlike FibreGuard, aftermarket topical treatments are sprayed onto the fabric surface and can act as an adhesive for stains to attach to the fabric. Inherent stain protection allows you to feel relaxed when having gatherings with friends and family. There is no need to fear dinner guests and when someone having a little too much fun, (inevitably) spills something, you won’t need to pretend it’s all right, it really will be.
The way we live in our home has changed dramatically, especially in recent decades. Not only are our homes open plan, but they have also become cross-functional as we dine, lounge, work, play and exercise in one open space. Our furnishings are therefore under more strain than ever before. Even the heat generated when charging your phone can damage fabrics, but as the way we live changes we expect our fabrics to be more durable for longer.
FibreGuard surpasses high expectations as it’s more than just stain-resistant, but easy-clean, and anti-microbial. It’s additionally more than practical; it is beautiful in appearance and feeling. In developing fabrics guarded with the protection of commercial qualities and aesthetic appeal for luxury residential living, FibreGuard have met the needs of our modern lifestyles.
FibreGuard fabrics have been tested again and again to ensure they satisfy busy lives and high expectations. They are perfect for the family room, a space to be shared and enjoyed with pets and grandchildren. Our easy-clean, low-maintenance, attractive fabrics are the perfect setting for visiting (or resident) little people to make a mess with freedom. There’s no need to be upset about grubby feet and sticky hands on your sofa because FibreGuard is designed to let you live in the moment.

What a delight pets can be. As a core part of the family, they are a constant source of fun and love and enjoy spending time with us humans, be it outside or inside – literally, on the couch with us (or on the bed!). We love our pets so much that we downplay the messes they can make, and let’s b...
