Good maintenance of any type of fabric is the secret to longevity!
No one buys a sofa thinking that it is an investment for just one year or a piece of clothing for just one week... Maintaining the fabrics, upholstery and clothing in our home well is essential to guarantee durability and appearance over time .
With a few simple tips, you can keep your fabrics clean, shiny and stain-free. Below we leave you 8 tips for maintaining all your fabrics, whether those present in the upholstery of your sofa or your clothes. These are very simple tips so there are no excuses.
Let's start, then:
- Read the washing instructions: Before washing any fabric, even your sofa, or clothes, it is important to read the washing instructions labels. They contain information about the appropriate type of washing, water temperature, type of detergent and the appropriate wash cycle for each item. If your sofa has removable covers, these also contain instructions.
- Avoid direct sun exposure: Avoid leaving your clothes and fabrics exposed to direct sun for a long time, as this can cause the fabrics to fade and age. For example, try to avoid having your sofas, chairs or armchairs directly exposed to the sun, and avoid drying your clothes directly in the sun.
- Remove all stains immediately: Removing stains as soon as they occur prevents them from setting in the fabric. Use a specific product for the type of stain, and never rub the fabric too hard, as this can damage the fibers.
- Brush and vacuum: Regularly brush and vacuum fabrics, especially the upholstery of your sofa, chairs, armchairs, and curtains to remove accumulated dust and maintain a clean, shiny appearance.
- Never mix colors: Separate clothes by color before washing to avoid stains and dyes. Wash white clothes separately from colored or black clothes, and always use a suitable detergent.
- Use fabric softener: In addition to making fabrics softer and more comfortable, fabric softener helps to reduce static electricity and protect fabric fibers. However, you should pay attention to the fabrics you wash, gym clothes or elastic materials should not be washed with fabric softener.
- Wash clothes inside out: Wash clothes inside out to protect the surface of the fabrics and prevent damage or excessive wear.
- When possible, tidy up correctly: Yes, you won't put away your sofas, but you should tidy up your clothes, blankets, sheets, etc. in cool, dry places and avoid stacking laundry for long periods. This way, you can keep your fabrics free from mold, mildew and other forms of deterioration.
With these simple tips, you will be able to maintain the original characteristics of your upholstery and clean clothes for a long time. By doing so you are also ensuring its durability and of course your investment in each of the pieces, be they clothes or upholstery , curtains or sheets and much more.
