In addition to routine vacuuming and dusting, avoiding spills and accidents will go a long way in keeping your furniture clean. Properly spot cleaning fabrics and waxing wood furniture also helps to keep your furniture looking better longer.

Today’s quality furniture includes features that help preserve its appearance and lifespan, making furniture care easier than it’s ever been in the past. Manufacturers go to great lengths in testing different cleaning methods on their products and you should always consult your furniture manufacturer’s care instructions first before using any product that could end up causing damage. Standardized labeling within the furniture industry has also made it easier for consumers to better understand how they can best care for the furniture in their homes.
