For water resistance treatment, the fabric becomes hydrophobic and oleophobic. Water and oil spills bead up on the surface of the fabric due to the protective coating via surface tension. Within a limited time that the beading up persists, stains can be easily wiped away.
For easy clean treatment, the nanoparticles applied prevents stains from penetrating the fabric fibers leading to permanent stains. The fabric does not become hydrophoic or oleophobic so accidental spills will wet the fabric. As the stains stay on the surface of the fabric, they can be easily cleaned by dissolving them in a liquid solution.
