Why You Need a Furniture Protector
3rd May 2015
Do you allow your pets to get on your furniture? Do your pets add stains and/or scratch marks to your furniture? If you answered, “Yes” to these questions, we don’t blame you (or your pet!).
A sofa is much more comfortable for a dog or cat than the floor. Having them close to you for some snuggle time is understandable and enjoyable for both you and your pet.
The problem is that allowing your pets on your furniture can, over time, cause permanent damage to furniture material. A furniture protector for pets can save your furniture from damage. Buying a furniture protector will keep wet paws, mud, and leaks from settling onto your furniture cushions.
Oily pet hair and dander can work deep down into your upholstery material and can be nearly impossible to keep clean. Inherited skin conditions in dogs can contribute to the damage of your furniture.
Some dog breeds are more proned to have dry or oily skin. This condition is called Seborrhea. In most cases, Seborrhea is inherited and is prevalent in Cocker Spaniels, West Highland White Terriers, Shar-Peis, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Dobermans, German Shepherds, Basset Hounds, Dachshunds, and English Springer Spaniels. This condition causes dry flakes from skin or oils from pet fur to become embedded into the weave of upholstery material making it impossible to clean.
In addition to regular pet stains, pet hair can get into the furniture material. It seems no matter how hard you try, you can’t vacuum or brush the fur out of the material. Using a pet protector cover on your furniture will keep pet hair from attaching itself to your furniture--saving you hours of frustration when cleaning.
The High Cost of Replacing or Reupholstering Your Damaged Furniture
Buying top-quality built furniture is a big investment and will last you a lifetime. Purchasing a brand new sofa from a retail store can cost you in a range from $700 to $5,000 and up. Due to the high cost of new furniture, It is not uncommon for furniture sellers to offer a payment plan of some sort to help you pay for your new furniture.
Protecting your furniture from stains and fur will ensure that your furniture is not ruined before it is paid for. Protecting your furniture from damage from pets will keep your furniture in pristine condition for many years to come.
The average cost to reupholster your furniture can cost you anywhere from nearly $80 to repair a scratched cushion to close to $1,000 to completely recover a sofa. Material selection, the size, and the style of your furniture will determine how much it will cost to reupholster. If not protected, your new upholstery will be ruined within months of paying someone to recover your furniture.
Higher Resale Value
These days, families don’t stay in one house for a whole lifetime. If you move and your furniture will not fit in your new room or does not match your decor, why not sell it? Protecting your furniture from pet damage will allow you to sell your furniture at top dollar.
Used furniture shoppers with pet allergies will stay away if your furniture if has not been protected with a removable cover. Keeping your furniture protected from stains and fur will give you a larger customer base that can buy your used furniture.
