Stain protection without the forever chemicals. We treat your furniture with the Healthier Homes Non-Toxic Fabric Protector, a water-based, PFAS-free spray that resists stains and repels dirt, and we apply it ourselves before your order goes out. One treatment covers one piece, so it can be added to anything upholstered we carry, from sofas and sectionals to accent chairs, ottomans, and rugs.

What is in it

  • Ingredients: water, plant-based surfactant, acrylic, water softener, omega 9 oleic fatty acid, ethanolamine
  • VOC content: 0 grams. Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs): 0
  • Contains no PFAS, no formaldehyde, and no added fragrance
  • Appearance: milky white in the bottle, dries clear and odorless with no visible residue
  • Origin: made in the USA by Healthier Homes

What it protects

  • Resists stains and repels dirt on upholstery, leather, curtains, pillows, mattresses, rugs, and carpet
  • Traps odors already in the fabric and helps keep new ones from sticking
  • Blocks most of the offgassing that comes off upholstery foam and stuffing
  • Safe on synthetic fabrics and natural textiles, plus table linens, woven baskets, and kids' car seats
  • Not for use on wool, which includes wool rugs and wool-blend upholstery

How it is applied

We spot test an inconspicuous area first, then work on clean, dry fabric, misting light coats rather than soaking the material. Each coat has to dry to the touch before the next one goes on. Rugs and carpet get worked in with a broom between coats, and leather gets wiped with a dry cloth after each pass. Extra coats add extra protection on pieces that take heavy use.

The treatment cures completely in six to eight hours in a conditioned space. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity stretch that out. We treat the piece at our warehouse before delivery or pickup, so it reaches you cured, dry, and ready to sit on.

Care

  • The treatment resists stains and dirt. It does not make fabric waterproof, so blot spills as soon as they happen instead of rubbing them in.
  • Follow the care code on your piece for routine cleaning.
  • Ask us to add protection to any upholstered item in your order, or tell your salesperson which pieces you want treated.

What’s included
One application of the Healthier Homes non-toxic fabric protector to one piece, applied by our warehouse team on clean, dry fabric in light coats, with a spot test first.

When to add it
Any time before your piece leaves our warehouse for delivery or pickup. Add it here, check the box on the product page, or call the showroom at 503.235.3454.

What we need from you
Which pieces you want treated. Protection is priced per piece, so a three-piece sectional takes three treatments.

Cure time
Six to eight hours in our conditioned warehouse. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity extend it, and we plan around that so your piece is delivered cured.

The one exception
We don’t treat wool, including wool-blend rugs and upholstery. Tell us the fabric and we’ll check it before you buy.

How the treatment works

You don't do anything. We treat the piece here, let it cure, and deliver it protected.

Add it to your piece

Check the box on any upholstered product page, add it here, or tell your salesperson which pieces you want treated. One treatment per piece.

2

We spot test, then spray

Light coats on clean, dry fabric, each one dried to the touch before the next. Rugs get worked in with a broom, leather gets wiped between passes.

3

It cures before it ships

The full ingredient list: water, plant-based surfactant, acrylic, water softener, omega 9 oleic fatty acid, ethanolamine. That's all of it.

Think of it as non-toxic Scotchgard. It resists stains and repels dirt, traps odors already in the fabric, and blocks most of the offgassing that comes off new upholstery foam. No formaldehyde, no added fragrance, nothing to air out.

Read the manufacturer's safety data sheet

What we can and can't treat

The limits up front, so nobody finds out the hard way.

Works on

  • Sofas, sectionals, and sleepers
  • Accent chairs, ottomans, and benches
  • Upholstered dining chairs and headboards
  • Leather and performance fabrics
  • Rugs, carpet, curtains, and pillows
  • Mattresses and table linens

Doesn't work on

  • Wool of any kind, including wool and wool-blend rugs
  • Solid wood, stone, and metal surfaces
  • Cabinet beds and other non-upholstered pieces
  • Anything already soiled. It seals the fabric, so it goes on clean

Questions people actually ask

Straight answers, including the ones that cost us the sale.

Will it change how the fabric feels?

No. It goes on as a fine mist in light coats and dries clear, with no visible residue and no stiffness. The manufacturer's own instruction is to avoid saturating the material, which is exactly how we apply it.

Is it safe around kids and pets?

That is the reason we carry this one instead of a conventional protector. Zero VOCs, zero hazardous air pollutants, no PFAS, no formaldehyde, no added fragrance. It dries odorless and there is nothing to air out before you use the piece.

How long does the protection last?

Healthier Homes does not publish a lifespan, so we are not going to invent one. What is true: more coats add more protection, and a piece that takes heavy use can be treated again. If a number matters to your decision, ask us and we will get an answer from the manufacturer rather than guess.

Can you treat furniture I bought somewhere else?

Not right now. We apply it to pieces bought from What's New, in our warehouse, before they go out for delivery or pickup. That is how we can promise it was done right and fully cured.

My piece is wool. What are my options?

We will not spray it. Wool is the one material this formula is not made for, and that includes wool-blend rugs and upholstery. Tell us the fabric before you buy and we will check it, and if it turns out to be wool we will tell you rather than sell you a treatment we cannot apply.

When do I have to decide?

Any time before your piece leaves our warehouse. Add it here, check the box on the product page, or call the showroom at 503.235.3454 and we will add it to your order.

Protection is priced per piece, on any upholstered item in the showroom.
