1. Vacuuming:  

We vacuum our carpets and other floors and we should also vacuum our upholstered furniture. Like our carpets, upholstery acts like a filter for the air in our homes, trapping dirt and other allergens. In order to keep your furniture looking bright and for better air quality in your home, you should vacuum upholstery regularly.   

2. Avoid direct/ harsh sunlight:  

Leaving your upholstered furniture in direct and harsh sunlight can quickly fade the fabrics. We recommend covers or using drapes or curtains to block out sun when it’s at its strongest during the day. This will keep your fabric looking more vibrant!  

3. Spot Clean & Regular Professional Cleaning:

Having your upholstery is deep cleaned regularly will prevent discoloration, the build-up of allergens, bacteria and dirt, and improve your indoor air quality!   

4. Turn cushions and wash covers:  

Frequent use, sun damage and stains can accumulate as your furniture gets older. By turning your cushions, you prevent depressions and sunken-in seats. If your furniture’s cushion covers are removable, follow the instructions and wash them occasionally to keep them looking bright and clean.
