Our pets love to cuddle, but their love can leave our furniture coated in fur. Here at Professionally Cleaned 808, we know keeping your upholstery looking its best with pets around can feel like an uphill battle. But fear not, pet-loving furniture owners! Here are some strategies to keep your sofas and chairs looking fresh:
Fabric Favorites:
- Choose Wisely: When selecting furniture, opt for fabrics that are naturally resistant to pet hair, such as leather or tightly woven microfiber.
- Slipcover Savvy: Consider using slipcovers on your furniture. They’re easy to remove, wash, and replace, keeping your furniture looking fresh.
Shedding Solutions:
- Brush Up on Brushing: Regular brushing removes loose fur from your pet’s coat, minimizing the amount that ends up on your furniture.
- The Power of the Vacuum: Vacuum your furniture regularly, using the upholstery attachment to remove embedded fur. Pay special attention to areas where your pet likes to lounge.
- Lint Roller Rescue: Use a lint roller to remove surface-level fur between vacuuming sessions.
Dealing with Disaster:
- Act Quickly: The key to minimizing stains is to address them as soon as possible. Blot up any excess liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth.
- Know Your Fabric Code: Most furniture has a tag with a cleaning code. This code will tell you which cleaning solutions are safe to use on your specific fabric.
- When in Doubt, Call a Professional: For deep cleaning, stubborn stains, or delicate upholstery, consider calling in professional cleaning services. They have the expertise and equipment to handle even the toughest pet-related messes.
By following these tips and seeking professional help when needed, you can keep your furniture looking its best, ensuring a comfortable haven for you and your furry companion to share.
