• Rotate cushions: Regularly flip and rotate your cushions to distribute wear and tear more evenly. This can help prevent one side from becoming noticeably more dirty than the other.
• Use slipcovers or protectors: Consider using slipcovers or protective covers on your upholstered furniture to prevent spills, stains, and dirt from settling into the fabric.
• Blot spills immediately: If a spill occurs, quickly blot up the liquid with a clean towel or cloth. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the stain.
• Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fabric fading and damage. That’s why you should keep your furniture out of direct sunlight. Alternatively, use curtains or blinds to block the sun.
