Why does a sofa wear faster when a pet uses it?
Scratching and constant rubbing can wear the fabric, and hair and odors build up. A cover or throw on the pet's favorite spot helps protect the fabric.
Does turning the cushions help?
Yes. Regularly turning and plumping the seat and back cushions spreads wear more evenly and helps them keep their shape for longer.
Does direct sunlight damage a sofa?
Direct sun can fade and wear fabric over time. If the sofa is in the sun, use a curtain or blinds.
Does a cover or throw help?
A cover or throw helps protect the sofa from everyday wear, hair and minor stains, especially if you have pets at home.
How do you deal with minor stains?
Avoid eating directly on the sofa. If something spills, gently blot the liquid up right away and do not rub.
What if the sofa is already dirty or worn?
