How to care for your Upholstery Furniture

Posted: 01/06/2023

This week we give you some top tips on how to care for your upholstered furniture. Soft upholstered furniture gets just as dusty and dirty as cabinet furniture - the difference is you can't always see it.

  • Try to keep pets off the upholstery and be careful of sharp objects such as belt buckles, toys and watch straps snagging the fabric. If snags do occur, carefully cut off the loose ends with scissors or tuck back in - do not pull them under any circumstances
  • Strong sunlight can cause fabrics to fade, so try to position your sofas and chairs out of direct sunlight
  • Sitting on the front edges of cushions or on the arms of furniture may cause distortion or damage, so avoid this at all costs
  • Velvet and chenille fabrics have a raised surface texture which is prone to flattening and shading, so it is important that you understand this characteristic before purchasing a suite in this material
  • Wood or decorative facings require minimal maintenance, and should be occasionally wiped with a damp cloth to remove dust. Do not use spray polishes or solvent cleaners, as these can have a damaging effect on both the facings and adjoining fabric
  • Caster cups are useful to reduce indentations on carpets and wood flooring
  • Vacuum or brush clean your upholstery weekly to remove accumulated dirt, which can cause colours to look faded or dull
  • Plump the cushions at the end of every day of use, particularly those filled with feather or fibre, and also smooth out the surface to prevent permanent creases being formed
  • Where you can, turn the cushions regularly to equalise wear 

 So there you have it, a few things to consider to ensure the longevity of your upholstered sofas and chairs. Next time we will cover the best ways to care for your cabinet furniture, so keep your eyes peeled for that one!

I cannot fault the service offered by Webbs. I ordered a number of pieces of Parker Knoll furniture from Webbs. There were problems in terms of the fabric but Webbs kept me informed at every stage.

The whole service has been exemplary and I would highly recommend this company.

We have recently moved home and went into Webb House furnishers in Nantwich to look into replacing some of our furniture. We had great service by the sales team resulting in us purchasing 2 sofas, a f [read more]eature armchair and a couple of rugs. The delivery guys who brought the furniture were brilliant at getting the largest sofa into our lounge which meant disassembling then reassembling it to make it possible. I definitely recommend Webb House and I’m sure we’ll be using them again in the future.

We recently decided to purchase a new suite from Webb's. We'd been thinking about it for some time and we really wanted to purchase from an independent store. While waiting for an assistant to become [read more]free we had a wander upstairs and decided on buying new furniture to go with the suite. We regularly received updates on our purchases and it was all delivered last week. The delivery men could not have been better. Every care was taken to not make any mess at all in our home. All pieces were placed exactly where I wanted them. Webb's called later in the day to check that we were happy with everything. Would highly recommend.

This is a great local company which is family owned. The whole team is very welcoming. They have so much stock in their two showrooms, catering for all different tastes. They are all very helpful and [read more]knowledgeable about their ranges, and are clear about communicating the lead-times.
