5 People Will Each Win $200 to "Cushion" The Blow
UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J., June 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — From chair cushions and pillows to patio umbrellas and more, outdoor fabrics bring color and comfort to outdoor spaces. But, like the backyard deck, these "small surfaces" can also lose their looks to damage caused by sunlight and rainfall.

That's because repeated wetting and drying cycles can weaken the fibers and cause color fading on outdoor fabrics. Sunlight further dulls vibrant colors. "Just because pillows and umbrellas are made to be used outdoors doesn't mean they are treated with a water-repellent," said Vladimir Doncov, senior product manager for Thompson's® WaterSeal®brand. "Since a set of six outdoor chair cushions can easily cost $90 or more, it makes good sense to protect them from the elements."
Now at Lowe's, Thompson's® WaterSeal®Fabric Seal helps protect these soft surfaces on your deck or patio. The clear aerosol formula penetrates to prevent water damage, resist color fading and repel spills and stains, while allowing fabric to breathe. In fact, once dry, Thompson's® WaterSeal® Fabric Seal is an invisible coating that won't leave fabrics stiff, sticky or discolored. But let a spill or an afternoon shower occur, and the water beads let you know the product is on the job. The formula can be used on a variety of fabrics, including canvas, nylon, polyester and cotton.
And because "material" things can help make a deck extra-inviting, the Thompson's® WaterSeal®brand has launched the "Cushy Summer" sweepstakes, with $1,000 in prizes.
