3M Scotchgard - do it myself?

blizeH

Looking to buy a sofa now (a fabric one, girlfriend is vegetarian and doesn't like leather, sighhh!) and have been quoted £35 per seat to have it Scotchgarded.

Is this generally worth doing? Or am I better off buying maybe 5 cans of spray and doing it myself? Anyone else had experience of this?

Cheers

its just another name for a warranty scam.
dont pay it.

my auntie was in Cousins in manchester the other month, buying a bed.
they sold her a "matress protection programme".
scam.
i got it cancelled a week later.

Thanks, so avoid it but get the sprays? Or are they already sprayed?

it all depends on whether you intend to spill red wine on it.
i tend to take care of my furniture. i dont require any doubtful "insurance" on it.

Good point thanks, I'm pretty damn clumsy though, and I'm sure stuff will be spilt on it ;/ Maybe I'll just go the cheaper option and spray some of that stuff on it myself.
