Stain-free fabric 101: What makes FibreGuard superior
As much as everybody loves a cleaning hack, they exist because we’re always looking for a quicker, more effective way to clean. Nobody wants to spend their time scrubbing their sofa because they spilt a little coffee or pasta sauce.
Our interior décor is meant to make us feel good. If upholstery fabric can deliver on a promise to make our lives easier, while also being chic and elevating our interiors, it certainly rises above the stock standard upholstery choice. Fortunately, there is such a fabric and we’re exploring what makes FibreGuard superior.
What is FibreGuard?
FibreGuard is a performance fabric that is the result of years of research and testing by interior designers and textile engineers. The focus at FibreGuard is to be what we call ‘life-friendly’: offering fabrics ready to stand up to anything daily life can throw at them. FibreGuard encourages a lifestyle where you can worry less and live more. Proven both stain-resistant and long-lasting, FibreGuard fabrics are engineered from the inside out to perform.
These stain-resistant fabrics come in a wide variety of designs and characteristics, and there’s always a special place for your favourite one. Engineered by a team of trend-savvy creatives, there’s a colour and a style to fit every interior design project.
How is it stain-resistant?
The stain-free technology of FibreGuard is embedded in the yarns. Unlike other popular commercial products, it is not an aftermarket stain resistant treatment. When you buy FibreGuard fabrics, it’s already got stain-free protection and that effect is permanent, meaning that the stain-free properties in your fabrics will last beyond washing and prolonged use.
