It's no surprise that dogs and upholstery don't always go together well. However, there are some things you can do to maintain your upholstery with a fur baby in the home:
1. Vacuum your upholstery regularly (at least once a week) to remove pet hair and dirt. Pet hair contains oil that actually ATTRACTS soil so this is very important.
2. Rotate the cushions occasionally, particularly in places that are favored by your pet, to promote even wear.
3. Reduce the amount of dirt and other unwanted particles tracked into your home and onto your upholstery by wiping your pet's paws when entering the home.
4. Cover with a sheet or blanket, as these can be washed frequently. You may also consider purchasing a slip cover for more protection.
5. Clean regularly. Professional cleanings can help to keep your upholstery looking good. It's important to schedule these on a regular basis as the passing of time can turn spots into permanent stains.
