The Perfect Piece of Furniture

By Norma McCormick

What once was the PERFECT piece of furniture that totally set the stage, no longer fills its purpose. (Its was the ideal piece of furniture, it truly set the ambience) Reality set- in as well as the oil from the dogs coat as he rubs along the edge, or the cat hair that clings and impregnates the very fibers, and don’t forget the kids, they’ve left their permanent mark also.

Can a home be furnished with family and pet friendly fibers? - you BET. Today’s fibers are more resilient and sturdy then ever. Most fabrics used for upholstery come treated with fabric protector. Not the silver bullet against spills BUT certainly it allows us the opportunity to respond, and need I say QUICKLY. Quick response is the key. PLACE a small white cotton towel under a seat cushion to use for emergency spills. If needed, gently place the towel over the spill to absorb the spot, No rubbing, scrubbing or smashing necessary.

The protector is the key to prolonging the life of our furnishings, BUT it will wear off with use, (and who doesn’t use their Furniture?) Exactly, reapplication is essential.
