Protective sprays are specialized products designed to shield surfaces from damage, stains, or wear. They can be used on various materials, including fabrics, leather, and outdoor gear. These sprays often create a barrier that repels water, dirt, and other contaminants, helping to maintain the appearance and longevity of items. Many protective sprays contain chemicals that enhance their effectiveness, such as silicone or fluoropolymer compounds. Users typically apply the spray evenly over the surface, allowing it to dry before use. Regular application can help preserve the quality of items like shoes, clothing, and furniture.
