Q: CAN MY FURNISHINGS BE MICROSEALED IN MY HOME?

A: Yes, Organic Microseal is non-toxic and non-allergenic. It contains NO forever chemicals or chemicals of concern. Your furnishings can be treated at home or if new, at your retailers shop or warehouse. 

Q: HOW SOON AFTER PROTECTING CAN ITEMS BE USED? 

A: Items can be used 2-4 hours after application, however warranty starts 4 days after treatment.

Q: DOES ORGANIC MICROSEAL HAVE AN ODOUR? 

A: Yes, there is a slight odour during application that is not detectable once cured.  We recommend that you are not in the room during treatment as it is applied as a fine mist spray.

Q: I’VE HAD A PROTECTOR BEFORE, WHAT MAKES ORGANIC MICROSEAL BETTER? 

A: Organic Microseal is a penetrator, not a coater. Coaters are hard and break up easily (upon manipulation or cleaning) becoming dirt traps that can make the fabric more difficult to clean than if it had no protection at all.  Organic Microseal penetrates the individual fibres forming a “flexible” barrier that does not break up. Organic Microseal actually helps to strengthen fibres.

Q: HOW DOES ORGANIC MICROSEAL RESIST WEAR AND ABRASION? 

A: Treated fibres are up to 60% more resistant to wear and abrasion because soil must wear off the protection before causing wear on the fibres. Similarly, fabric fibres must wear off the protective MicroSeal penetrator before they can wear on each other. This “wear resistance” promotes longer fabric life and less frequent replacement.

Q: WHAT CAN THE ORGANIC MICROSEAL FORMULA BE USED ON? 

A: Virtually every type of fibrous fabric  including wool, cotton, nylon, polyester blends, silk, natural suede, synthetic suede and even smooth finished leather. You can have all types of items protected including fine furniture, oriental rugs, carpets, curtains, interiors of boats, planes and cars and patio garden furniture. Organic Microseal is not effective on vinyl.

Q: IS ORGANIC MICROSEAL COLOURFAST? 

A: Yes! Organic Microseal will not change the colour, texture or feel of any type of fabric.  What’s more, if accidently over sprayed on wood, glass, tile or metal it will not damage the finish and is easily wiped away. 

Q: MY CARPET WAS PROTECTED AT THE MILL; CAN I STILL HAVE IT ORGANIC MICROSEAL PROTECTED? 

A: Yes, it can be applied on top of every type of mill treated fabric protector with no negative side effects. Organic Microseal is an added advantage to an already mill treated carpet because it is a better sealant, longer lasting and provides almost 100% UV protection on most fabrics.

Q: HOW SOON CAN I HAVE MY HOME FURNISHINGS MICROSEALED?

A: Once you have contacted us, we can usually schedule your home visit immediately and emergencies permitting can have your items protected within days!

Q: WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I ACCIDENTLY SPILL SOMETHING ON MY FURNISHINGS? 

A: If it’s been protected by us, you will find that blotting with a paper towel will work 99% of the time.  (For carpeting, using a spray bottle with 50% water and 50% white vinegar for stickier or dried stains can be very helpful too.)

If your carpet or upholstery has not been Microseal protected we have a stain removal guide with  helpful advice. For Upholstery, especially dry clean only fabrics we recommend you call us to get specialist advice immediately.

Q: WILL I NEED TO CLEAN MY MICROSEAL PROTECTED FURNISHINGS? 

A: Yes, we recommend that you regularly vacuum and tackle spots and spills immediately and you also clean regularly although the frequency of professional cleanings should be less. Also, Organic Microseal will not wear off even after many professional cleans.

Q: DOES ORGANIC MICROSEAL FABRIC PROTECTION COST MORE TO APPLY THAN A FLUOROCHEMICALS COATER? 

A: Organic Microseal is not for everyone, the only way I can answer this question is by listing all the benefits so that you can make an informed decision:
