Wait. Waterproofing sprays commonly use PFAS.
This fabric waterproofing and stain repellent spray has no ingredient list or PFAS claims, and waterproofing treatments frequently use PFAS.

What Fabric Waterproofing Spray Stain Leathe is made of, ingredients and materials
This is a liquid aerosol or pump spray designed to create a water-repellent barrier on fabric, upholstery, and leather. Waterproofing sprays in this category typically use fluorinated polymers or silicone-based coatings to bond to fibers and shed water. The 'proprietary' formulation language is standard industry opacity and makes it impossible to know whether PFAS compounds, volatile organic compounds, or other solvents are present in significant amounts.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in solvent carrier
Waterproofing sprays require volatile solvents to deliver the active coating and aid application. Without published solvent composition, exposure during and immediately after spraying is probable; prolonged inhalation can cause respiratory irritation, headache, and dizziness.
PFAS
Even if the product avoids legacy PFAS, proprietary waterproofing polymers may leave durable residues on fabric that could shed or off-gas with heat or laundering. Long-term safety of proprietary fluorinated coatings on skin-contact textiles is not well established in public literature.
Source, ATSDR ↗Inhalation risk from aerosol or pump spray dispersion
Spray application creates fine mist particles that can be inhaled during and shortly after use. Individuals with asthma, respiratory sensitivity, or chemical sensitivities may experience acute symptoms. Enclosed spaces amplify this risk.
Skin and eye irritation from spray contact
Direct contact with concentrated spray on skin or mucous membranes may cause irritation. No labeling information is available to assess severity or first-aid guidance specific to this formulation.
What’s reassuring
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Spray-applied waterproofing coatings are less likely to contain formaldehyde-releasing resins than factory-applied finishes, but proprietary blend composition is unknown.

The brand's record and disclosure
Spray and Wash has not published ingredient lists, safety data sheets accessible to consumers, or statements about PFAS content or alternatives. The brand's silence on waterproofing chemistry in a product category known for PFAS reliance represents a disclosure gap rather than a safety claim. No established recalls or regulatory actions on record for this specific product, but absence of documentation does not indicate safety testing.
How it compares in its category
Fabric waterproofing sprays fall into a high-hazard category due to widespread PFAS use across major brands (Scotchgard, Nikwax, Crep Protect). Some alternatives use silicone or paraffin-based water repellents without fluorinated compounds, though they are less durable. Spray application itself introduces inhalation risk not present in durable treatments applied during manufacturing. This product offers no competitive safety advantage.
If you buy it
Apply in well-ventilated spaces or outdoors to minimize inhalation of spray aerosol and solvents. Avoid application near skin, eyes, or food-contact surfaces. Reapplication frequency will depend on fabric wear and washing; typically needed every 6-12 months for outdoor textiles. Do not use on items for children under age 3 due to potential inhalation and contact exposure during volatile off-gassing.
