How to Apply
Simple application with standard tools — no specialist equipment required.
-
1Prepare the materialEnsure natural materials are completely clean and fully dry before treatment.
-
2Apply evenlyApply using a spray, roller, brush or by immersion. Work across the material in controlled, light passes rather than heavy saturation — the aim is even penetration, not surface soaking. Ensure full coverage with no missed areas.
-
3Allow to absorbAllow the product to fully absorb into the material. Heavier or denser textiles may require more product. Do not over-apply — excess product sitting on the surface will not improve performance.
-
4Dry and store correctlyDry in ventilated conditions, avoiding excessive heat. Store above 5°C, protected from frost and direct sunlight, with the container sealed.
