Hi,
A furniture manufacturer can apply this to a provide this to a fabric
three seeter couch prior delivery for $90. Is it worth the money.

Depends on the value of the couch and how the couch is used. An
alternative is to apply ScotchGuard, and reapply every 6 months. A
slipcover is a better value, as this can be washed and gives some wear
protection.

It's price is $550.

I would say NO. Paying $90 for fabric protection on a $550 sofa seems out
of proportion. As has been mentioned, you can get some and do it yourself
for a few dollars. The old fabric protection scheme is just an add-on sales
technique. I think it is marginally dishonest, especially if done in a
high-pressure way or if unrealistic claims are made for the service. I
wonder sometimes if they don't just take your money and fail to apply the
product. Also, there is a good chance that the fabric already has some
fabric protector on it. I agree that if the sofa is going to see much use,
I would look into a slip cover. You can get ready-made slipcovers for a
sofa for around $60.

I agree many thanks.................

I've been told that any brand of this type of coating will only last
about a year. Seems like a big waste of money to me.

Hi Ricardo,

This will just be a water proofing agent, either silicone based or water
based. We sell a water based one on our site that covers 75 sq/m for around
$75, so you can judge the profit element assuming you add something for the
time an opperator takes to apply the finish.

You can take a look at the site to see what it does but it would be
impracticle to send to the USA.
