A method for treating a hard surface substrate comprises contacting the hard surface substrate with a solvent-based fluorinated methacrylate polymer to provide water repellency, oil repellency, and stain resistance wherein the fluorinated methacrylate polymer comprises repeating units in any sequence from (1) at least one fluorinated methacrylate, (2) at least one non-fluorinated alkyl acrylate, (3) at least one non-fluorinated hydroxyalkyl methacrylate, and 4) at least one amino-containing (meth)acrylate,
- provided that
- a) the repeating unit of fluorinated methacrylate is present in a range of from 40% to 80% by weight of total monomers added,
- b) the repeating unit of non-fluorinated alkyl acrylate is present in a range of from 10% to 35% by weight of total monomers added, and
- c) the repeating unit of non-fluorinated hydroxyalkyl methacrylate is present in a range of from 5% to 25% by weight of total monomers added,
- d) the repeating unit of the amino-containing (meth)acrylate is present in a range of from 1% to 20% by weight of total monomers added and
- e) the total of all repeating units is 100% by weight.
