All I have to add to this is:

My neighbor has a futon that had a "lifetime" anti-moisture coating. He draped a wet shirt over the back to dry and boom! Mold. He took the cover to a laundromat (our washer isn't big enough) and Scotch-Guarded the whole thing. Can't think of why; all the spilled liquid soaks right through and no stains are even slowed down.

Also, tw mentions "Basically, anti-static chemicals are variations of detergent." If this is the case, please find out if anyone you know is allergic before inviting them to sit on your furniture! I am very, very allergic to artificial scent, and so my neighbor uses "anti-static" dryer sheets which are in fact unscented. If I pick up his freshly dried laundry while I'm sweating, anywhere the treated fabric contacts sweaty skin will cause me to fire up an itchy rash for about 10 minutes. Allergies can get much, much worse over time if the sufferer is over-exposed to allergens, whether they can be smelled or not.
