The range

One chemistry, packed and written for the job in front of you. Everything arrives mixed and ready to use.

Every price on this site is the retail price — the same one you pay on Takealot. No hunting, no "contact us for a price".

Buying for a business? There is a better rate. Applicators, cleaning companies, furniture retailers and resellers all buy below these numbers, and the more you move the better it gets. Apply for a trade account — tell us what you do and what you get through, and we will come back with your rate.

Trade Sample 200 ml — SoftGuard Protex
200 ml · Commercial strength

Trade Sample

Freeto trade enquiries

Mixed at full commercial strength, so what you test is exactly what arrives in the drum. Enough to do a chair properly, not a token squirt.

  • Covers about 2 m²
  • Same strength as the 20 L — not a watered-down tester
  • Enough for a full chair, so you can judge it on a real job
  • Free to trade enquiries

Retail — 500 ml

Same price here or on the marketplaces. Buy through Takealot or Amazon and you get their delivery, returns and payment options.

Car+ 500 ml — SoftGuard Protex
500 ml · Retail strength

Car+

R229

Seats, carpets and boot linings. For the spilled coffee on the way to work and the dog in the back on the way home.

  • Trigger spray, ready to use
  • Leave windows open while it dries
  • Re-treat after a valet, or about once a year
Shoe+ 500 ml — SoftGuard Protex
500 ml · Retail strength

Shoe+

R249

Canvas, leather, suede and nubuck. One bottle for the whole rack instead of a different can for every pair.

  • Treat them new, before the first wear
  • Re-treat every 20 to 40 wears
  • Test finished or pigmented leather on the inside of the heel first
Clothing & Leather 500 ml — SoftGuard Protex
500 ml · Retail strength

Clothing & Leather

R239

Jackets, coats, bags and leather goods. Keeps a shower off the shoulders and a spill off the sleeve.

  • Hang the garment and spray in light passes
  • Re-treat every four to six washes
  • Not for dry-clean-only items without testing first
Pet+ 500 ml — SoftGuard Protex
500 ml · Retail strength

Pet+

R220

The same protection, written for a house with animals in it. Muddy paws, wet dog, the accident nobody saw happen.

  • Trigger spray, ready to use
  • Let it cure fully before letting animals back on it
  • Re-treat after a deep clean, or about once a year

Cleaning & care

Protection stops a spill soaking in. It does not clean what is already there — that is what these are for.

Blood & Stain Remover 500 ml — SoftGuard Protex
500 ml · Ready to use

Blood & Stain Remover

R299

A non-ammoniated spotter for the marks that land on treated fabric anyway. Non-ammoniated matters — ammonia strips protection off as it cleans.

  • Non-ammoniated, so it will not strip a fabric protector
  • Blot, do not scrub — scrubbing spreads the stain and fluffs the pile
  • Always test a hidden area first
  • This is a cleaner, not a protector. Re-treat after using it.
Odour Digester 500 ml — SoftGuard Protex
500 ml · Ready to use

Odour Digester

R259

For smells that come back after cleaning, because the source is still in the fibre rather than on it.

  • Treat the source, not the air — it has to reach what is causing the smell
  • Give it time to work rather than re-spraying
  • Test a hidden area first
  • This is a cleaner, not a protector. Re-treat after using it.

5 L refill · Ready to use

Odour Digester

R449

The refill. Same ready-to-use liquid as the trigger bottle, in a size that suits someone doing this every week rather than once a year.

  • Covers Refills ten 500 ml trigger bottles
  • Ready to use — nothing to mix
  • Decant into a trigger bottle for the job
  • Treat the source, not the air — it has to reach what is causing the smell
  • Give it time to work rather than re-spraying
  • Test a hidden area first
  • This is a cleaner, not a protector. Re-treat after using it.

5 L concentrate · Concentrate

Odour Digester

Price on request

The concentrate behind the trigger bottle. A biological concentrate containing micro-organisms, diluted to suit the job, that works on the source of the smell rather than covering it.

  • Covers 5 L makes about 16 L of working solution at 30%
  • Biological concentrate — micro-organisms, not a perfume
  • Dilute to a 30% solution for carpet and upholstery work
  • Wet the area through, work it in, leave it overnight, let it dry, then vacuum
  • Do not extract it back out — the organisms need the time to finish
  • Also used on litter trays, vehicle interiors, bins, drains and grease traps
  • Store above 5 °C
  • This is a cleaner, not a protector. Re-treat after using it.

20 L concentrate · Concentrated

Low Foam Carpet Shampoo

Price on request

A concentrated low-foam shampoo made for wet extraction machines. Low foam matters — foam kills suction, fills the recovery tank with air and leaves residue behind that re-soils the carpet in a fortnight.

  • Dilutes 1:6 to 1:20 with water, depending on how dirty the job is. The same range is used by hand and in a machine
  • Light pink liquid, pH 7–8 at 1%
  • Rinses out clean rather than leaving a sticky film. Rinse with clean water and let it dry
  • Safe on upholstery as well as carpet. Test colour fastness on a hidden area first

Equipment

Mooi eKhaya Pressure Sprayer 8 L — SoftGuard Protex
8 L · Manual pump

Mooi eKhaya Pressure Sprayer

R359

The sprayer the method depends on. Adjustable nozzle, locking trigger and a safety valve — it lays down the fine even mist that a trigger bottle cannot.

  • 8 L translucent bottle with a calibrated scale, so you can see what is left
  • Adjustable nozzle from a column spray to a fine shower
  • Locking trigger for continuous spraying without holding it in
  • Safety valve to release pressure, and a thickened base so it stands up
La Robusta 80 L Wet & Dry Vacuum 80 L · Turbo X3 — SoftGuard Protex
80 L · Turbo X3 · Industrial

La Robusta 80 L Wet & Dry Vacuum

R6 600

Heavy-duty wet and dry extraction built to run all day. Made for hotels, offices, gyms and valet bays where the machine gets used hard and nobody has time to nurse it.

  • 80 L capacity, three-motor Turbo X3 suction
  • Wet and dry in one machine
  • Built for continuous use rather than occasional jobs

Fire

A different product, a different chemistry, a different reason to buy. Nothing above is a flame retardant.

Flame Retardant for Textiles Several sizes — SoftGuard Protex
Several sizes · Ready to use

Flame Retardant for Textiles

fromR659

A separate product and a separate chemistry. If you need textiles to meet a fire requirement, this is the one — the fabric protector is not and never will be.

  • Nothing in the fabric protection range is a flame retardant. This is
  • Which textile it goes on changes what it will achieve — ask before you buy
  • If a venue or contract requires certification, say so up front

Buying a flame retardant? Understand the compliance side first. In South Africa the product is only half of it — what a venue, landlord or insurer actually asks for is evidence that the treatment was applied correctly and by someone competent to do it. Buying a drum does not by itself make a space compliant.

SafeFire runs the training, assessment and certification side of that. Worth looking at the process before you buy chemical, so you know what you are taking on. Disclosure: SafeFire and SoftGuard Protex are both owned by Live Made Media (Pty) Ltd. Certification through SafeFire is never a condition of buying from us, and you are free to use any assessor you choose.

Need it tomorrow? The commercial drums and cans are on Takealot and Amazon as well, at these same prices, with their next-day delivery. See the range on Takealot.

Buying regularly is a different conversation — that is what the trade account is for.

The five retail sprays are the same protection. What changes is the directions on the back — how to hold it, how often to re-treat, and what to test first. Buy the one that matches what you are treating and follow that label.

Treating a whole lounge suite, or working on customers' furniture? You want the commercial range. Trade information.
