Tips to protect your Furniture over Christmas

Christmas usually means hosting the family or friends during the festive period.  Its all great fun but unfortunately accidents occur. It’s important to clean your furniture properly to avoid any permanent damage. Fingers crossed you avoid any accidents. Have wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at My Place.

Here are some tips to help you out:

  1. Act fast: The longer you wait, the harder it will be to remove the stain. So, as soon as you notice a spill, blot it up with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel.

  2. Use the right cleaning solution: Different types of spills require different cleaning solutions. For example, for water-based spills, use a mixture of water and mild soap. For oil-based spills, use a mixture of water and vinegar.

  3. Test the solution first: Before using any cleaning solution, test it on an inconspicuous area of the furniture to make sure it doesn’t cause any damage.

  4. Blot, don’t rub: When cleaning spills, always blot the area with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel. Rubbing can cause the stain to spread and damage the fabric.

  5. Dry the area: After cleaning the spill, make sure to dry the area completely to prevent any mould or mildew growth.

  6. Vacuum regularly: Regular vacuuming can help keep your furniture clean and free of dust and dirt.

  7. Protect your furniture: Consider using furniture protectors to prevent spills and stains from damaging your furniture.
