Scotchgard Outdoor Water Shield

Scotchgard Fabric Water Shield is a lifesaver when you have kids and pets to help keep clothing and household fabrics safe from spills and light rain. The spray applies evenly and dries quickly, leaving fabrics water-repellent without altering their texture or color. It can be used it on jackets, cushions, and even outdoor pillows, and it really helps liquids bead up instead of soaking in. The two-pack is excellent for stocking up or treating multiple items at once, which makes it very convenient. I also appreciate that the protection lasts for a long time, so I don’t have to reapply constantly. Overall, it’s an easy, effective way to extend the life of fabrics while keeping them looking clean and fresh.

So, I have used a variety of waterproofing products before -- mainly for the purpose of treating coats, boots, and camping material. One thing to always look for in any waterproofing product is a statement of intended use. Scotchgard heavy duty water shield is a good all-around product for re-waterproofing or providing additional waterproofing protection for materials and products already designed to protect from the elements. Examples include certain types of leather, nylon, polyester, etc. This product will not magically waterproof porous or water absorbent material. Case in point, I read that someone was disappointed with the product because they tried to waterproof their pillowcase and was shocked when it didnt. Couple thoughts on that...if you're in a situation where your pillowcase and/or other gear is getting soaked, it's likely that no amount of waterproofing is going to help you (e.g. a monsoon, falling in a river, lake, or stream, or a 40 day deluge (aka also see "The Flood" story in Genesis). Additionally, why would you want to lay your face on a product that is synthetically made to repel water and that has a poison control warning if ingested or sprayed in your eyes? Yeah...moving on. I most recently bought and used this product to re-waterproof a rainjacket/windbreaker I have owned for about two years and to help protect a new tent I bought a week ago. I used a total of four cans for an entire 6 person tent and jacket. The product took only a short amount of time to dry (was dry to the touch in about an hour or two...and I soaked my jacket and tent/rainfly with this stuff), and it was put to the test not but three to four hours after application. As with the many other times I have used this product, it worked beautifully. It literally poured down rain with wind gusts of 40 and 50 mph, complemented by lightning, thunder, and even a little hail thrown into the mix, for two days straight. Not a drop of water in my new tent, despite the ground being completely soaked and the appocoliptic torrent of rain that was dumped on me. And neither my tent, nor my jacket, were discolored or stained by the product. Now, as for cons, there are few. The product does need to be reapplied at least once yearly if being used on gear that is used on a fairly regular basis. I camp all four seasons, so my jackets, camp gear, and boots are genuinely put to the test; however, it's unreasonable to think that when you waterproof something that it will last forever. Also, there is a slight odor to the product when first applied, so be sure to apply in a safe, well-ventilated space. I usually apply outside or in my garage with the garage doors open. The odor is similar to WD-40, so oily mixed with a bit of manliness and can-do attitude. But what waterproof spray doesnt have some kind of chemical odor? The final verdict: when used the way it is intended to be used, Scotchgard Heavy Duty Water Shield works like a charm and will likely make your life a whole heck of a lot more comfortable for those occasions when staying dry means the difference between being comfortable or being cold, damp, and miserable. You will have to reapply at least once a year if your gear is being used regularly. There is an odor to the stuff, but wears off eventually...usually a few days or less if left to dry in a well-ventilated space. The product is definitely a value and worth the buy when comparing the low cost to the high reward of staying as dry as one possibly can in the elements. Cheers!

Great product cleans very well. I had spots and many stains all over my carpet and it took everything up with ease. I am very pleased. It looks like I had my carpet cleaned and it was just spot treated. I would definitely recommend this and it’s a great product for the prize.

Good product, does what it’s supposed to, only doesn’t get 5 stars because it didn’t cover as much as advertised; maybe I applied it too liberally. Anyway, works great.

This product provides great stain protection. Treated new furniture and older furniture that had been cleaned. Works well to keep it all clean despite use by 3 dogs.

Worked great. Applied to work shoes.

Purchased this Scotchgard Sun and Water Shield to spray on new patio cushions. Was easy as heck to apply and seems to have covered well....no streaks as it quickly dried. We've not yet had rain, but I feel sure that, as it's a Scotchgard product, it will work as described. A plus is that the scent was not obnoxious!

I bought this to spray my biker gloves to keep keep them dry & keep cold air out. It did okay, but I think i expected a little better. Can't speak to cleaning since, why would I put it on to clean it off. Didn't see any skin irritation. Its not sticky, so thats good. Easy to use and apply.

The product is good, but I have ordered 2 cans, only received 1.

bonne quantitee

Seems to work, only time will tell if it lasts Slow delivery - Evri (Hermes) are absolutely dismal, always at least 2 days late

Se lo apliqué a la tela de una chamarra y cuando seco hice la prueba de hechar agua y la resbaló sin problema .

good. (-) lasted by delivery lead time.
