First you need to know what protection really does. Some people think that protection does not work because their upholstery still gets dirty. Protection is not a force field keeping everything off of your furniture, it will still get dirty. What protectors do is keep stains from setting into the fibers. With protection stains and spills will dry on the surface instead of sinking deep into the fiber where they can not be removed. Think of it like waxing your car. When you wax your car it still gets dirty but it is much easier to clean when you wash it and it stays clean a little longer. Another benefit of protection is that it forms a wear barrier. It is another layer between you and the fiber so it actually saves the fiber wear. So to answer the question, Is Furniture Protection Worth The Money? Yeas and no. If you are planning on replacing the furniture in a year or two then no you should save your money and invest it into your new furniture. If however you have some quality furniture that is relatively new buying protection could add years to its life.
