Will Scotchgard make fabric stiff?

Answered by Michael Wilson

Scotchgard does not make fabric stiff. Scotchgard is a popular brand of fabric protector that is designed to repel liquids and prevent stains on fabrics. It works by creating a barrier on the fabric’s surface that helps to prevent spills and stains from penetrating the fibers.

When Scotchgard is applied to fabric, it forms a protective layer that is invisible and does not alter the fabric’s texture or stiffness. The fabric will still feel soft and comfortable to the touch, just as it did before applying the Scotchgard.

I have personally used Scotchgard on various types of fabrics, including upholstery and clothing, and have never experienced any stiffness or texture changes in the fabric after application. In fact, I have found that Scotchgard helps to maintain the fabric’s original feel and appearance by preventing stains and spills from setting in.

It is important to note that proper application of Scotchgard is essential to ensure that it does not cause any stiffness or texture changes. It is recommended to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and apply the product evenly and in the appropriate amount.
