Guardsman protector

hello, another Guardsman query!


My daughter purchasing 2 sofas, chair and stool from Next and has been offered the Guardsman protection plan. On paper it sounds fine but I am going to advise her against it on the basis of the postings on here. Of course, the negative gets posted more than the positive so if anyone has been delighted with the Guardsman plan please do say and we may reconsider. Otherwise I think that we will advise her to leave the money earmarked in the bank and if an accident happens call out a local firm with a good reputation.


So, this posting is more to ask about the actual Guardsman stain protector that goes 'for free' on the furniture. I had a protector years ago when I bought my sofa and it was wonderful for about five years - I simply wiped spills of all sorts away. However, I wanted to ask how good is a job done by Next and similar retailers in their original spraying? Is it adequate or is it worth having some sort of 'top up' by a specialist local firm if not too expensive? I have to say my friends Marks and Spencer's chair seems well protected, but my daughters furniture coming from Next


Thanks for any advice.
