Scotchgard

Spray-on stain resistance

Scotchgard is a brand name for fabric protector that repels liquids and stains.

Applied as a spray, it creates an invisible barrier on upholstery, carpets, and clothing.

The name has become somewhat generic for any fabric-protecting treatment: I Scotchgarded the couch before the kids' party.
