I love it like my own child and paid a small fortune to buy it, too, but given my anxiety and its great condition it\u2019s already giving me issues.<\/p>\n<h2>Issues<\/h2>\n<p>The main one being that I haven\u2019t been doing much sitting on it. I refuse to let it be besmirched by my subway clothes, for starters \u2014 if you were a regular on the train, you would, too. And the idea of having guests over who might want to sip and snack on it? Unthinkable!<\/p>\n<h2>Wrap it?<\/h2>\n<p>I could wrap it in a plastic cover like it\u2019s an artifact \u2014 defeating the point of owning anything velvet \u2014 or heed my mom\u2019s advice to stock up on stain remover, but really, I just want to find a middle ground that lets me enjoy my couch without wearing kid gloves. And since velvet couches are all the rage these days, I imagine I\u2019m not the only one searching for solutions. So I turned to furniture-cleaning experts for advice on how to protect fabric or upholstered furniture from (and treat the inevitable) stains.<\/p>\n<h2>Professional Upholstery Cleaner<\/h2>\n<p>Professional cleanings will help maintain the structure of your couch and keep it looking newer for longer. Also invest in a fabric protector. A fabric protector will basically make sure that stains don\u2019t become permanent stains, so when you spill a glass of wine on the fabric, or when food\/pet stains lie on the surface of the fabric, you\u2019re able to blot it away with a white rag. It typically only lasts about a year on a couch that\u2019s being regularly used, though, so reapplying it annually is always a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>Visit us today for professional help &#8211; or give us a call on\u00a0<a href=\"tel:0800 800 382\">0800 800 382<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professional Upholstery Cleaner &#8211;\u00a0The soft, pink velvet couch of my dreams recently materialized in my life: an on-trend, secondhand beautiful lounger that is miraculously stain- and dirt-free.
