Ashbys Stain Guard – Professional Solvent‑Based Carpet, Upholstery & Leather Protector (5 Ltr)
Ashbys Stain Guard (Solvent‑Based) is a professional protector designed for use on dry carpets, rugs, upholstery and leather. It can also be applied to dry‑clean only fabrics, making it the ideal choice where water‑based protectors cannot be used. The advanced solvent carrier ensures deep fibre penetration, delivering long‑lasting stain resistance and a built‑in antistatic finish.
Important: This product cannot be applied to damp or freshly cleaned items. Surfaces must be fully dry before application to achieve the best results. Do not use on rubber, bitumen, bonded carpet backs or flocked materials, as the solvent base may soften adhesives or attack these backings. For wet‑cleanable items that are damp from cleaning, use Ashbys Stain Guard WATER Based Protector (PC5869) instead.
