Getting new furniture is an exciting experience. When you have a new sofa, you want to ensure it wears well and you get the most out of your purchase. No one wants to find their sofa looking worn after only a short time. While you can cover them with plastic covers or slip covers, many people may not want to cover up their sofa in order to preserve its beauty. Steam Green Carpet Cleaning is here to talk about ways to extend the life of your sofa.
 

How to Keep Furniture from Fading in the Sun

While natural light casts a beautiful glow over everything in the room, it also damages anything it touches. If the sun is shining directly on your sofa, it is working to damage it with fading. Sometimes, having your sofa in the sunlight is unavoidable, and for those instances, we recommend using window coverings to protect your furniture during the sunniest part of the day.
 

Avoid Pet Hair & Dander on Your Sofa

Those furry friends that we consider part of the family often leave behind pet hair and dander wherever they go. This pet hair can look awful as well as cause damage as pet hair and dander build up on your sofa. If you can’t keep your pets off your furniture, consider laying a blanket on the sections that they have deemed “theirs.”
 

Upholstery Fabric Durability

When you have upholstered furniture in your home, choosing the right fabric can make or break the length of time that the furniture holds up. Durable fabric like microfiber will last much longer than others. Another thing to consider is caring for the fabric. Be sure to follow care instructions for your sofa to avoid damaging the upholstery.
 

Vacuum Couches

Vacuuming your upholstery often will keep the fine dirt and debris that make their way into the fibers of your furniture from causing damage. Vacuum your furniture once a week to keep dirt and debris from soiling your sofa and causing staining or wear. It’s also recommended that you rotate your cushions so you don’t get a pattern of wear on your cushions and they last longer.
 

Professional Upholstery Cleaning

There is no way around it, if you want your upholstered furniture to last longer, it needs to be professionally cleaned. A professional carpet cleaning company will be able to remove stains and germs from your furniture with a deep cleaning at least once a year. With industrial strength equipment, you don’t have to worry about particulates getting caught in the fibers of your furniture, causing damage.
