How to Protect Microfiber Furniture

Microfiber fabric is frequently used in furniture.

Microfiber has become a very popular material with multiple applications. Microfiber is a very soft fabric that is stain resistant and easy to clean so it has commonly been used in both clothing and furniture. While microfiber furniture is resilient, it does require maintenance to keep it preserved and to maximize its lifespan. Protecting microfiber furniture can be done easily with a minimum of fuss.

Things You'll Need

• Warm water
• Vinegar
• Spray bottle
• Rag
• Vacuum/Lint roller
• Steam cleaner

Instructions

1. Keep your pets off of the furniture as much as possible. While the pet hair should be easy to remove, pet claws can puncture the material and require repairs.

2. Treat stains with a 50/50 mixture of warm water and white vinegar. Spray the solution using a spray bottle and then rub away the stain with a soft rag. Avoid paper towels because they can shed and get into the fibers of the furniture. Vacuum the furniture afterward to remove any lint from the rag. A lint roller can be useful as well.

3. Steam clean the microfiber furniture once a year to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that has built up in the fibers of the furniture. Avoid using any heavy detergents since they can break down the fibers and damage the fabric.
