When it comes to protecting furniture against furry friend’s antics, it’s<br />

UPHOLSTERY<br />
Both pets and humans are guilty of being<br />
the culprits behind upholstery stains. To make<br />
sure your new couch or favorite chair stands the<br />
test of pets, kids, and time, stick to Fido-friendly<br />
fabrics, like indoor/outdoor and stain-repellant<br />
options. Crypton can endure both dirty pet tracks<br />
and party spills and is surprisingly comfortable;<br />
ultrasuede is also a great option, as spills can be<br />
easily wiped up and won’t get caught in little<br />
claws due to its weave; while leather repels<br />
stains and dirt but could potentially be damaged<br />
by rebellious scratching claws.<br />

slipcovers are easy upgrades that can help immensely when feathering your nest.<br />
Just be sure to keep an eye out for ones that don’t require dry cleaning. Investing in<br />
furniture with slipcovers can save you both time and hassle, keeping the focus on<br />
enjoying your furry friends instead of keeping everyone off the white chairs.<br />
