Love Your Car, Love Your Leather….

Aside from purchasing a house, a person’s car is most likely their most valuable asset. Remember the day when you picked up your first car? It didn’t matter how much of a beat up clunker it was, chances are you were absolutely in love with it. Fast forward years later and you probably have a much nicer car, but wait! There is grease and soda stains on the passenger seat!! What a lot of people don’t realize is that by applying a good and high quality leather cleaner (like the leather protection line at Textile Armor) it can not only restore your leather and give it back its original glow, but it can also help its resell value… Come on, wasn’t the leather in your car one of the selling features for you??

But its leather, it’s supposed to be durable… Right???

Leather is incredibly durable, it can with stand so much more than fabric or upholstery-but that does not make it indestructible. Depending on where you live, the leather in your car will withstand extreme temperatures: extreme heat in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. Chances are your leather also has food and liquids spilt on it as well. In addition, your leather also has to with stand the regular wear and tear that comes from just getting in and out of your car! When you think about it, the leather in your car has to stand up to a lot. And if you don’t maintain it properly, it will lose its glow; it will crack, loose its shape and can also become stiff. The great news is that all this can be avoided with a line of leather protection!

Textile Armor has a complete line of leather protection. The leather protection and conditioner work by putting moisture back into the tired and dried out leather. In addition it also has anti-drying and anti-cracking properties. Textile Armor’s leather cleaner will remove stains that are on the top layer of the leather. In addition to removing stains, it will all remove dust and any other build up of material.

Does it Really Matter?

Many people think that it doesn’t really matter what chemicals they use in their household. After all, how much harm can regular household chemicals really do? Studies have found that everyday more and more people are using cleaning product that contain dangerous and hazardous chemicals. According to Dr. Dick Irwin a Toxicologist at Texas A&M University he stated “Chemicals have replaced bacteria and viruses as the main threat to health. The diseases we are beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of (the 1900's) and into the 21st century are diseases of chemical origin.” The question is, does it matter to you?

The Havoc of Animals on Your Furniture…

Animals are an important part of life-especially if you have children. Studies have shown that not only do animals reduce the amount of stress in one’s life, but that they have also been found to increase one’s lifespan. If you have children, you know the important role that animals play in teaching a child responsibility. All in all, animals are a wonderful addition to life… Except when it comes to your furniture…In this blog we are going to highlight a couple of the products that Textile Armor has that are essential to anyone or any family that has pets.

If you have cats:

While cats can be lovely creatures, their nails are not so lovely and can leave destructive marks on your wood furniture. The wood protection line at Textile Armor has a product for wood furniture that ACTUALLY helps prevent scratching!! Can you imagine if you didn’t have to yell or run to grab your cat every time it jumped on the dinning room table?

If you have dogs:

Dog’s are mans best friend but they are not a best friend to your fabric couches. Because dogs go outside, naturally they track in dirt and smear it into your fabric furniture. Textile Armor has a complete line of fabric protection that will create an invisible barrier between your fabric couch and your furry friend that will help prevent any permanent staining! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to not have to worry about permanent stains when your dog jumps on your couch?

We understand the importance of having animals but also understand the wear and tear that they can cause on furniture. We are confident that you will be more than delighted with how well our furniture and wood protection line prevents any permanent damage that your furry friends can cause!!

Our History: Textile Armor by Ultra Shield!

It’s hard to know where you are going if you don’t know or understand where you have been. At Textile Armor we value our heritage and are incredibly proud of it! Textile Armor’s parent company is Ultra Shield which was established in March of 1987. When Ultra Shield first started, it was the 39^th competitor in the field of fabric protection. Now in 2010, Ultra Shield is thrilled to be the fourth largest company by sales quantity in the United States.

Ultra Shield prides itself on maintaining its quality throughout all of its products. Therefore it manufactures all of its products at the same plant which allows for better quality control. Ultra Shield is constantly striving to stay on the cutting edge of the fabric protection industry, because of this Ultra Shield has invested in market research teams to help discover ways to better their product line. In October of 1991, Ultra Shield became the first fabric protection company to design and develop a water based stain repellent. Ultra Shield is very proud of their success but is continually looking for way to improve upon the success that they have built.

When Textile Armor was first looking to partner with a reputable fabric protection company, there were several things that were of the upmost importance when considering a partnership:

Number one: it was essential to Textile Armor that we partner with a company that had a long history of fabric protection and was willing to stand by their product.

Number two: It was crucial that Textile Armor partner with a company that was constantly striving to improve upon their products and stay on the cutting edge of the fabric protection industry.

Number three: It was vital that Textile Armor partner with a company that had integrity and a willingness to do whatever it takes to please a client.

With Ultra Shield, we found all these qualities and many more. In 2010 we were delighted to announce our partnership with them and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship for years to come.

Are you in the middle of trying to potty train??

As most any parent will tell you, the time that it takes to potty train your child can be a very frustrating and trying time. There are all the accidents during the day, the running to the bathroom and then of course, the middle of the night wet bed sheets. And then of course, you have to try to figure out a way to get the urine out of the mattress. That perhaps can be one of the most challenging and wearisome feats of them all…

That is where Textile Armor can help! Nothing is more exasperating than 1.) Having to try to not show your frustration to your child (who is trying their very best) 2.) Getting woken up in the middle of the night to change your child’s clothes and clean up the mess 3.) Having to worry about how on earth you are going to get that urine smell out of the mattress!! Well, we can’t really help you with the first two, but we can help you with the third one!

At Textile Armor we have a complete line of mattress protection! Our mattress encasements will protect your mattress from absorbing any urine or any urine smell! At Textile Armor we offer two unique solutions that will help you protect your mattress during the challenging time of potty training!

Protect Your Wood for the Holidays!

As we get closer to the holidays, it seemed wise to illuminate a few products by Textile Armor that may help put your mind at ease. The holidays are a wonderful time where we can share quality time with our family, but it can also be stressful. And one of the things that stresses a lot of people out is wondering what kind of toll their house and furniture will take after serving as a landing zone for so many people. In our last blog, we talked about Textile Armor’s leather protection line and how it is able to revitalize old and dried out leather. In this blog, we are going to talk about wood protection!

When having multiple people over for the holidays, individuals are prone to setting their drinks and or plates just about anywhere! Normally this would not be a problem, but if your wood has not been properly protected, the simple act of setting a briefcase or a plate of food on the coffee table can cause permanent scratching. Because of this, Textile Armor has developed a wood protection system that is called “Scratch Guard”. This creates an invisible barrier between your wood and whatever would like to come in contact with it to scratch it! This is an ideal product for anyone who has children, pets or who entertains!

Another product that is very unique to Textile Armor is “Dust Off”, this product actually repels dust! Can you imagine if you didn’t have to dust all the time and if a product actually did the hard work for you??? As wood ages, it loses its natural moisture. For that reason, it is essential to add that moisture back into your furniture. Textile Armor also has a “Cream Polish” that will revitalize and restore your wood back to its original luster and sheen! Don’t let the holidays slide by without protecting your furniture. You have already invested in your furniture, now its time to protect it!
