Prolonging the life of your sofas, suites and recliners can often be a difficult task especially in households with children, animals and on occasion the odd grown-up.
It is often the ‘rule of the house’ that when new carpets, sofas, suites or chairs are bought that there is to be no eating or drinking in these rooms and certainly no pets climbing on them. This can often be difficult and we cannot be there all the time to watch over people and over time and often for convenience these rules are forgotten.
Stain-guard fabric protector is a great investment for protecting your sofas, suites and chairs.
Stain-guard can prevent permanent staining from food, drinks, pets or human bodily fluids by using a soil releasing formula. By using a stain-guard you can save money on dry cleaning the upholstery on your suite.
Many stain-guard protect fading from sunlight and florescent lights by using an ultra-violet inhibitor. They also contain an anti-static additive to repel airborne dust and dirt.
Not only will stain-guard prolong the suites life but it does not affect the look or feel of the fabric.
If you have a leather sofa there are many leather specific cleaners on the market. Often a mild laundry detergent or washing up liquid with warm water can be just as effective.
Remember these handy tips:
- Run your hoover over sofa and chair cushions. Don’t forget to lift the cushions up and hoover underneath.
- Always check the label on cushion and seat covers and follow the manufacturers instructions before trying to clean them.
- If unsure contact the store you purchased the furniture from or the manufacturer for advice on cleaning your furniture.
- Don’t scrub, dab to get most of the moisture our if a liquid is spilt as this can often spread the stain and make it look worse.
Soft furnishings are meant to be touched and sat on and accidents will happen so sit back relax and enjoy!
