The holidays are a stressful but enjoyable time for most families. Sure there is a lot of shuffling between houses, lots of food and presents to buy, but over all it is a wonderful time of year that most people and families look forward to.
However, if you are hosting a get together this Christmas or Thanksgiving, you may already be wondering how to keep the children from smearing the turkey grease into your tan cloth couch, or how to keep Uncle Fred from spilling his glass of red wine on your beautiful love seat… These are the types of things that can cause extra stress around the holidays. It is difficult to balance the idea of being a gracious host and wanting to open up your home to your friends and family while struggling with the idea of not wanting your furniture destroyed in the process. If this is something that has concerned you, you may have attempted to find the solution for this problem online-only to come up empty.
According to some online searches, it seems that consumers have two options for long lasting protection for their furniture. They can either:
a.) Cover their furniture with a thin layer of plastic (this was a very popular thing to do in the 70’s)
b.) Consumers can opt to slip cover their beautiful furniture, virtually obstructing it while protecting it.
I was shocked at how few options there were. There are several other furniture protection products that do not require the use of slip covers or plastic, but most of these require multiple and repeated applications. Not only is this a hassle, but it is also a drain on your check book.
But as always, with every negative, there is a positive element. Textile Armor is now offering a new service that will allow their clients to protect their existing furniture from virtually anything that the holidays (or your children) can throw at it. Their furniture protection line only requires a one time application and will last for the lifetime of the piece of furniture. Originally this service was only offered to brand new furniture and mostly to designers, but not it is available to anyone who has a piece of furniture that they would like to protect.
