Trusted across the Bay Area and Sacramento region, our California-compliant treatment is safe for all fibers and backed by a full one-year guarantee.
What Is Fabric Protection?
Fabric protection is a treatment applied after professional cleaning to guard against spills, spots, and stains. It creates an invisible barrier that repels both water- and oil-based soils—giving you time to blot away messes before they set.
Whether you’ve just had your draperies cleaned or your favorite armchair refreshed, our protector helps preserve that clean look for longer.
How Our Fabric Protection Service Works
BAYVIEW ON-SITE’s fabric protector penetrates each fiber without changing the color, texture, or appearance of your fabrics. Once applied, the barrier helps prevent food, beverage, and everyday spills from soaking in.

Types of Fabrics That Benefit from Protection
Fabric protection is especially valuable for delicate, absorbent, and high-use textiles. At BAYVIEW ON-SITE, we treat a wide variety of materials used in both draperies and furniture, helping preserve their beauty and extend their lifespan.
Natural Fibers
Natural fabrics tend to absorb spills quickly, making protection essential.
- Cotton – Common in upholstery and casual drapery, cotton is highly absorbent.
- Linen – A beautiful but delicate fabric that’s prone to staining and wrinkling.
- Silk – Luxurious and sensitive, silk benefits greatly from a protective barrier.
- Wool – Often used in custom drapery or upholstered pieces, wool can hold odors and liquids.
Synthetic Fibers
While synthetic fabrics are often marketed as stain-resistant, they still benefit from an extra layer of defense.
- Polyester – Durable but can absorb oils and body soil over time.
- Acrylic – Common in blends; helps resist wear but still needs protection.
- Rayon/Viscose – Prone to water marks and shrinkage, making protection crucial.
- Nylon – Frequently used in commercial or high-traffic settings, it benefits from added repellency.
Blends and Specialty Textiles
Many draperies and upholstered pieces today use blended fibers or custom weaves. These combinations can behave unpredictably when exposed to spills or soil. Fabric protection helps ensure even the most complex blends stay cleaner, longer.
Fabric Protection is Ideal for These High-Risk Areas:
- ✔ Living rooms and family rooms
- ✔ Dining chairs and benches
- ✔ Light-colored or delicate fabrics
- ✔ Children’s play areas and nurseries
- ✔ High-end or custom window treatments
Frequently Asked Questions About Fabric Protection
What is fabric protection, and how does it work?
Fabric protection is a treatment applied after cleaning that creates an invisible barrier on your draperies, upholstery, and other textiles. It helps prevent spills from penetrating the fabric, giving you time to blot them up before stains set in. Our protector repels both oil- and water-based soils without changing the color, texture, or feel of the material.
Is BAYVIEW ON-SITE’s fabric protector safe for all fabrics?
Yes. Our fabric protection is California-compliant and safe for all fabric types, including natural fibers like cotton, linen, and silk, as well as synthetics. It won’t alter the appearance or texture of your draperies or upholstery.
How long does the fabric protection last?
Our fabric protector is effective for up to one year with normal use. We recommend reapplying fabric protection after every professional cleaning to maintain optimal coverage and stain resistance.
Do I really need fabric protection if I don’t have kids or pets?
Even in low-traffic homes, accidents happen. Coffee spills, wine splashes, or food dropped during entertaining can all cause stains. Fabric protection helps prevent permanent stains and extends the life of your investment, regardless of your household size.
What happens if a spot doesn’t come out?
We offer a one-year guarantee on all fabric protection applications. If a spill occurs during that time and we can’t remove the resulting spot, we’ll refund the cost of the protector—no questions asked.
When should I apply fabric protection?
Fabric protection should always be applied immediately after professional cleaning. This ensures the fibers are clean and ready to absorb the protective solution evenly.
