The Importance of Regular Care
Proper care and maintenance of your furniture not only enhance its appearance but also extend its lifespan.

Steps to Maintain Your Furniture
Here at Rusty’s Upholstery, we believe in empowering our customers with the knowledge and tools to care for their furniture. Consider the following steps to keep your furniture looking its best:
1. Dusting and Vacuuming
Regular dusting and vacuuming are essential to prevent dust and dirt from settling into the fibers of your upholstery. Use a soft brush attachment to gently remove loose particles, paying special attention to crevices and corners. This simple step goes a long way in maintaining the overall cleanliness of your furniture.
2. Spot Cleaning and Stain Removal
Accidents happen, but with our expert tips, you can effectively address common stains and spills. Remember to act quickly, as letting stains sit can make them more difficult to remove. Before using any cleaning agents, test them in an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with your fabric. With Rusty’s Upholstery recommended stain removal techniques, even the toughest stains can be handled with ease.
3. Regular Fluffing and Rotation
If your furniture features cushions or pillows, regular fluffing and rotation can help maintain their shape and prevent uneven wear. Gently pat and fluff the cushions to redistribute the filling and prevent sagging. Rotating the cushions can also help distribute the weight evenly, ensuring a longer lifespan for your furniture.
4. Protect from Sunlight
Direct sunlight can cause your furniture's fabric to fade and become brittle over time. To prevent sun damage, consider positioning your furniture away from windows or using window treatments to block harmful UV rays. Adding curtains, blinds, or UV protective films can significantly extend the lifespan of your furniture.
Additional Maintenance Tips
While the above steps are crucial for maintaining your furniture, there are a few additional tips to keep in mind:
- Avoid placing furniture near heat sources, which can damage the upholstery.
- Use coasters or placemats to protect your furniture from spills and heat damage.
- Regularly check and tighten any loose screws or hardware to prevent wobbling or structural damage.
- For leather furniture, use a specialized leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
