Water & Stain Resistance Treatment

For customers who are concerned about ease of maintenance for fabric sofas, we offer water and stain resistance treatments for all fabrics selected before they are upholstered.

After treatment, the fabric becomes more water and stain resistant so you are less worried about accidential stains and spills.

How it Works?

The selected fabric used to make the sofa is soaked thoroughly in a chemical formula for 1 day and then dried before being upholstered
This creates a hydrophobic (water resistant) and oleophoic (oil resistant) coating where water droplets and oils droplets roll off the treated surface instead of wetting and staining it
There is a lower the chance of liquids penetrating the sofa fabric, giving you more time to clear accidental spills and stains
Combined with regular vacuuming of the sofa to remove dust, this treatment makes it easier for you to maintain the fabric sofa in pristine condition for years to come

How Hydrophoic and Oleophobic Coatings Work?

The degree of wetting once the fabric comes into contact with liquid is determined by complex molecular interactions between the fabric surface and liquid
If the liquid is more attracted to the fabric molecules than its own liquid molecules, wetting happens with a wetting angle lower than 90°
If not, the liquid molecules organizes themselves into a droplet creating more liquid surface tension, a tighter droplet and a wetting angle greater than 90°
Oleophobic property generally requires a higher wetting angle compared to hydrophobic property
