What surfaces is HarmonyGuard made to cover?
Use it on the sofa edges, wall edges, chair corners, and other repeated scratch zones described on this product page. Surface finishes vary, so check the installation directions and test a hidden area before wider placement.
Will a scratch protector stop my cat from scratching?
It protects the covered area and can support redirection, but it cannot guarantee that scratching will stop. Cats still need an appropriate scratching post or pad placed close to the existing hotspot.
Which size should I choose?
Choose the smallest size that fully covers the repeated contact zone: 30 x 60 cm, 30 x 100 cm, 30 x 200 cm, 40 x 100 cm, or 40 x 200 cm. Measure the actual scratch path rather than the whole piece of furniture.
Is it suitable for renters?
It can be useful for targeted protection in a rental home, but adhesives and surface finishes vary. Check your lease, follow the installation directions, and test a discreet area before applying it to a visible surface.
Do I still need a scratching post?
Yes. Place a stable scratching post or pad beside the protected hotspot so your cat has an easier approved surface to choose. Match the outlet to the direction and texture your cat already prefers.
How should I choose between Beige and Grey?
Choose the color that blends more naturally with the sofa, wall, or furniture edge you plan to cover. The non-woven material and available sizes are the same decision factors either way.
Could it affect paint, wood, or upholstery?
No universal surface-safety promise is possible because finishes, coatings, fabrics, age, and installation conditions differ. Test a hidden area first and stop if you notice lifting, residue, discoloration, or surface change.
How should I maintain the protected area?
Check the edges and attachment regularly, remove loose debris, and reposition or replace the protector if it curls, shifts, or no longer covers the active scratch path.
