Upholstery is that part of furniture that most often gives us headaches when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. Although costly, the way we maintain it will also determine its lifespan. Here are some tips on how to care for your upholstery.
Sofas, couches, or armchairs are the things that give us the most trouble when we talk about the upholstery in our homes. How can we keep it looking new for longer without too much hassle?
Since sofa cushions are made of soft materials exposed to wear and tear more quickly than others, they need a little more attention from us. Every time they are used intensively, try to fluff them up with a few firm taps left, right, and rotating them. By applying this treatment, they will regain their original shape.
Seat cushions are not as soft, so you can turn them over to be worn evenly and last longer. If the upholstery is made of 3 or more cushions, you can swap them constantly to prevent one from wearing out more than the others.
Vacuum the upholstery regularly! Dust is a hidden enemy that does more harm than you might imagine. Use special attachments from your vacuum cleaner to clean dust off the sofa.
Direct sunlight is a formidable enemy for your upholstery. Make sure that the strong midday sun doesn't shine directly on your new sofa!
