CouchGuard Fabric Spot Cleaner 250mL

CouchGuard Fabric Spot Cleaner is an Australian-made upholstery stain remover that uses encapsulation cleaning technology. It helps lift food, drink, cosmetic, oil, grease, organic, pet-related and some ink marks from compatible fabric sofas, lounges, recliners, chairs, carpet and wool products.

As the treated area dries, the formula binds loosened soil and detergent residue into a brittle material that can be vacuumed away. This helps reduce sticky residue that can attract fresh dirt after cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stains can Fabric Spot Cleaner treat?

It is intended for common food, drink, cosmetic, oil, grease, organic, pet-related and some ink marks. No cleaner can guarantee removal of every stain.

How does encapsulation cleaning work?

The formula loosens soil, then dries around residue so it becomes brittle and can be removed by vacuuming.

Can I use it on a fabric recliner?

It can be used on compatible water-safe recliner upholstery. Check the care instructions and test a hidden area first.

Can I use it on wool or carpet?

It is intended for compatible carpet and wool products, but fibre, dye and finish suitability must be confirmed before use.

Do I need to rinse after use?

For routine spot cleaning, allow the encapsulated residue to dry and vacuum it away. Use Fabric Rinse Aid as directed if the treatment used more moisture, residue remains or water-mark control is needed.

Can it remove old or set stains?

It may improve some older marks, but results vary. Age, previous cleaning attempts, heat and the fabric’s construction can make a stain permanent.

Should I apply fabric protector afterwards?

After cleaning and rinsing where required, allow the upholstery to dry fully. A compatible water-repellent fabric protector can then be applied according to its directions.

How to apply Fabric Protector

The surface must be clean, dry and free from dirt, dust, stains and existing coatings. Always test on a hidden area first.

1. Evenly spray one wet coat over the selected area.
2. Immediately repeat using a different spray direction to maximise even coverage. Apply two coats wet-on-wet.
