Even though your furniture has been treated, it is not a quick fix or solution to staining.

The first thing you want to try is choosing the right fabric. You don't have to wait for your furniture to be in shambles, it should be done anyway to prevent this.

Choose a type of fabric that fits your life style now, and in years to come if you want it to last.

If cleaning solutions are necessary, be sure to test an inconspicuous spot first.

Be careful where you position your furniture. A little maintenance can go a long way and save you money in the long run. Apply with a soft brush in a circular motion to work into the fibers, then vacuum when dry. Try to keep your care instructions handy, if you have them from the store.
