Fabric Fire Protection

I purchased the No-Burn Fabric Fire Gard Spray to treat my Mother's white sheer curtains and drapes when she moved to Assisted Living. All curtains must be fire-retardant in Assisted-Living Facilities. After inquiring all around town (a major city) I could find no dealer or supplier in the area. In fact, one business told me, she had another caller looking for a fire-retardant spray for a Nursing Home. I researched on the web and found the product on Amazon. Ordering was quick and easy, the spray arrived in days. I'll admit it didn't arrive totally clear, but the results were great. My husband strung lines in the garage for me to hang these curtains up to spray. I wore a mask, goggles, and heavy duty rubber gloves while I sprayed the curtains. I left them to dry for 24 hours, no spots or streaks on these white curtains! The curtains do feel starchier, as if they have more body. One and half bottles did 4 short panels and 4 long panels of drapes (front and back). Mom is happy, she has her curtains hanging up in her apartment, and the facility is happy that they are fire-retardant.

I was required to fire treat the curtains in my classroom, so I bought this. Although I never actually tried to test and see if they were fire-resistant after treatment, my curtains did pass inspection by the fire marshal.

Strong smell

We bought this spray to treat our hearth rug in front of our wood burning fireplace. It works really well. We've watched as large hot embers jumped through the screen only to go out as soon as landing on the treated rug. Before we had treated the rug, excaped hot embers would smolder and leave small burn marks on the rug. We feel much safer with this treatment on both the hearthrug and the surrounding areas. The only concern that we had was that the liquid was noted as "clear", but when we received it, the liquid was brown. We read the bottle to find that the liquid should be kept between 40 - 90 degrees F. Since we ordered it over the winter, the box had been sitting out in weather well under 40 degrees. We called the customer support number listed on the bottle and spoke with a very helpful woman who assured us that the liquid was still OK to use and would not color or stain our light colored carpet. The product's color changes if the bottle is exposed to light for too long (perhaps as in a well lit warehouse?), but it would still apply clear and work every bit as well. The tempature is only an issue if the product is exposed for a long period of time and freezes. After trying it on a hidden area of the carpet we found that the rep was correct. We applied it without any problems and it works great. We plan to keep using this product.

I am a teacher and my classroom has a large window. We have certain requirements and procedures for "lockdown" drills in our school. We have to cover the window during the drill to prevent anyone from seeing inside the classroom in the event that a person/persons meaning harm is looking for a full classroom. I made some curtains for the window and due to fire prevention regulations, the fabric must be fire retardant. I looked for fabric that was already fire retardant but, all I could find in my local store was very juvenile. I teach at a middle school. The fire marshall said a fire retardant can be applied to the curtains and that would be in compliance to policies. I looked at my local home centers and discount stores and found no product available. I looked on amazon and found this product. It was easy to apply to my curtains. Did not change the appearance of them in any way. However, when you apply the spray, do it where the spray will not get on anything you do not want the spray on. I laid my curtains across a couple of classroom desks and the spray got on the desks and left a white residue. It was easy to get off with a regular household cleaner. Good product that fulfilled my needs.

I bought this to treat fabric for my classroom bulletin boards, to bring them in compliance with the fire code. I was concerned about how strong the odor might be, and was pleasantly surprised to find there was no noticeable odor when I sprayed the fabrics. The sprayer mechanism worked well, and the retardant was evenly distributed and did not drip.

I read this has one of the highest ratings for use in California schools. So sprayed all of my classroom fabrics with it. Even my custodian considered it as acceptable. A bit expensive but was worth it. I sprayed the fabrics outside as it had a smell when first applied.

It works well, but must be reapplied after washing
