To make your upholstered furniture last a bit longer, follow these best practices: Use Furniture Covers: Provide protection against stress and wear to it. Rotate Pillows: Turn and fluff up pillows to regain their shapes. Away from Sunlight: Sunlight will direct exposure and provide a reason for the upholstery to fade or discolor. So, should not be exposed for long in the direct path of sunlight. Tough Stains: For tough stains like red wine, marinara sauce, and mustard, use a specialized upholstery cleaner. These cleaners are designed to tackle difficult messes effectively, often requiring fewer passes compared to general cleaners.
