You've invested a lot of money in your upholstery. You spent time doing your homework on
Joybird reviews furniture to choose just the right sofas and chairs. Now it's time to take good care of them.
1. Vacuum Regularly
You should vacuum dirt and pet hair away from your upholstery about once per week. Use a
vacuum attachment with a brush that is made for furniture. This will keep dust, soil and hair from getting stuck in the weave of the fabric.
2. Revive and Flip Cushions
If possible, shuffle the cushions on your couch once in a while to make sure that they are each used consistently. Flip other cushions and pillows regularly to ensure that they wear equally on both sides. These items will eventually become flat or stretched from use. Hit cushions gently with your hands to get them back in shape and keep the furniture you found through
Joybird reviews comfy.
3. Use Stain Protectors
Purchase a fabric protector spray as soon as you get new upholstery. Make sure that you follow the instructions and perform a color test on an unseen part of the fabric before spraying the entire piece. This coats the fabric and makes it repel stains.
4. Clean Stains Immediately
Just like you did with the stain protector spray, test upholstery cleaning spray on a hidden part of the furniture or curtain. Do not allow the stain to dry before you clean it up.
5. Utilize Yearly Professional Cleaning
Even if you keep up with the regular maintenance of your upholstery, there is no substitute for a professional cleaning service. You should have this done every year or two. A qualified cleaner will have special equipment and cleaning products to take care of stains and buried dirt that you cannot get rid of on your own. They can make your upholstery look new and apply a powerful stain protector.
