Is your velvet sofa looking less than luxe? Learn how to clean velvet furniture and keep it looking as sumptuous as the day you bought it.

Choosing velvet furniture is choosing to make a bold style statement in your space—there’s no ignoring its soft sheen, rich colour, and innate elegance. But velvet’s commanding presence also means that any discoloration or stains are that much more visible. No more hiding a dusty apartment…once the sunlight hits a velvet couch, there’s no hiding those annoying, allergy-inducing particles.

If you’ve opted for a bright, richly pigmented colour, like navy or chartreuse, we recommend avoiding direct sunlight, which can cause the fabric to fade. Consider window coverings substantial enough to protect your piece but lovely enough to catch the eye. Read on to learn how to clean velvet furniture and protect it from wear and tear and those inevitable spills.

Materials:
- Vacuum
- Absorbent cloth
- Soap and water or an upholstery cleaner
- Soft brush

Vacuum the fabric: Remember those pesky dust particles we were talking about? Well, in terms of regular maintenance, all you need to do to the item itself is give it a good dusting. We recommend regular vacuuming; a soft brush can also loosen surface dirt and brush it away.

Tackle spills the right way: If a friend does happen to spill their cocktail on your couch, White suggests blotting the area immediately with a clean, dry absorbent cloth. We then recommend mandating said friend to a different spot in your home. No one likes a party foul.

Test cleaning products: If a dried stain is staring you in the face and you just can’t help but do something about it, test any cleaning product (even basic soap and water) on a hidden spot to ensure it doesn’t ruin the fabric. Mix soap and water to create a sudsy solution. Use a soft cloth to blot the stain with the suds, then let the fabric dry completely.

Brush the fabric: Once the velvet is dry, use a soft, dry brush in the direction of the pile to restore its direction and loft. This will give the velvet that brand-new, never-been-touched look.

Turn to a professional: When in doubt, ask for help. It’s best to professionally clean the entire piece to ensure the colour remains uniform. To ensure your velvet furniture remains in optimal condition, you should have it professionally cleaned. Next up? Sit back, relax, and enjoy your good-as-new upholstery.

Hi Neighbours,

Are you sick of sitting in traffic?

An exciting community initiative is launching in your neighbourhood next week, March 2nd! THE WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE invites you to travel differently on a Wednesday, wherever you are going. Maybe you have errands to run, need to go shopping, visit friends or attend a social event. Can you take someone with you or consider ride sharing with someone else, take the bus, lime scooter, walk or bike instead of sitting in traffic by yourself. There’s rewards and prizes up for grabs for the neighbourhoods, businesses and schools who generate the biggest shift in the way they travel. Every ride counts.

The Wednesday Challenge is a great way to build stronger community connections, reduce road congestion, improve your health and wellbeing and have some fun. It’s also a great chance for each one of us to make a small change to make a big difference collectively.

Are you up for the challenge? Change the way we travel…. for good. Jump online to find out more and join the Challenge at: www.wednesdaychallenge.co.nz...
