Reproofing turnouts at home

[poiuytrewq]

Do you do it? if so what product do you use and how expensive is it?
I assume its painted on?

I used to get them cleaned and proofed when needed but trying to save money ive only had them cleaned this year thinking I could proof them myself.
I now have a great pile of lovely clean rugs and am a little unsure what to do with them!

I use nik wak wash in reproofing liquid then when the rug is dry I spray with fabsil spray concentrating on the danger areas for leaks .
I cant remember prices but I get them cheap in bulk from eBay.

Fabsil reproofing - you can buy small spray cans or a 5 litre (more economical) large non spray can and decant to a hand spray.

I think it is better to reproof yourself otherwise your 'breathable' rug becomes 'non breathable' as the reproof solution is added to the cleaners machines and reproofs inside as well as out

I use Fabsil http://www.google.co.uk/shopping/pr...a=X&ei=p2bAUYeGEIeo0QXizYCgDw&ved=0CFYQ8wIwAA a 5l tub like this lasts me ages. I wash and dry the rugs then paint this on. It makes them really waterproof, I had a couple of rugs back from a professional cleaner and they leaked, so I do it myself now.

Thank you- How many rugs roughly will a 5L can do?

 

[katherine1975]

•Light weight synthetic fabrics up to 18 square metres per litre.
•Medium weight Canvas up to 7.5 square metres per litre.
Just found this on their website, I have done 5 rugs so far with my 5l Fabsil and must have at least 2/3 left.

I bought a little pump sprayer (type you use for weeds) from home and bargain. It's alot quicker than using a paint brush. My lite weight rugs fit in washing machine and I use nikwax rug proof whivh adds water repellency and revives breathability.
