This 2-pack of Scotchgard Fabric Water Shield is designed for seasonal use on clothing and home upholstery. The formula uses a solvent-based carrier that allows it to penetrate natural fibers like cotton and wool without changing the texture or "hand" of the fabric. It is a practical choice for items labeled as "dry clean only" where water-based sprays might cause spotting. By creating a thin barrier, it helps the material stay dry in light rain while maintaining airflow through the fabric.
Important Application Guidance
Because this product has a high level of VOCs, it should only be applied in a very well-ventilated area or outdoors. It is sensitive to moisture during the application process; if used when it is very humid (above 60%), a hazy residue may form as it dries. For the best bond, apply it to dry fabrics on a clear day. Once the formula has fully cured, the chemical scent disappears, leaving the treated item ready for use. Regular re-application every six months is helpful for high-wear areas like chair seats.
If you need to treat large-scale outdoor projects with a ceramic-based finish, the Rain-X Cerami-X Glass Cleaner offers a different technology for your vehicle or home windows.
