Why Choose Microfiber Couches? And How to Clean and Care Microfiber Couches

A micro fiber is a tiny man-made textile. These fibers are only half the thickness of silk. An even better example of just how miniscule these fibers are, they are one hundred times finer than a human hair. Micro fibers are composed of these very fine filaments or fibers of nylon, polyester, or a combination of the two woven together. The result is a very soft, light in weight, breathable, yet durable fabric. Micro fiber can even be made to look like leather or suede.

The Perfect Choice for Furniture

The amazingly soft feel, light and airy breathability, and long lasting durability of micro fiber make it an ideal material for covering furniture. Not only does micro fiber feel great, it looks great as well. The super fine fibers allow for a more compact fabric, resulting in rich and vibrant colors, a smooth appearance, and an all around gorgeous look.

Not only does micro fiber look great and feel good to the touch, but the best part is it is easy to clean and care for. Natural fiber sofas are prone to stains and tears. Leather couches require special maintenance and care. Owning one can be a bit labor intensive keeping it clean and looking new. Micro fiber couches, on the other hand, are so easy to clean and care for that that it almost feels like they clean themselves.

How to Clean and Care for Your Micro Fiber Couch Micro Fiber Furniture

The first and only thing that you need to know about your microfiber sofa is the code. Each microfiber sofa comes with a tag that tells you the type of micro fiber you’ve purchased. There are four types of microfiber codes: W, S, S-W, and X.

Micro fibers tagged with the code W are the easiest to care for of all. This micro fiber can be cleaned with, or simply with soap and water. This is probably the best choice for living rooms with children and pets. With sappy cups, puppy messes or even beer spills, cleanup is easy. The best part is that there are no water rings when it dries!

Micro fibers with the code S must be cleaned using a solvent based solution.

Micro fibers tagged with the code S-W may be cleaned with either a water-based, or a solvent-based cleaning solution. This is just as easy to care for as type W, perhaps even easier because it allows for more options when faced with a tricky stain.

Micro fibers with the code X means you can vacuum only. Obviously you will want to be very careful if you choose this code. However if you do not eat or drink on your furniture, a vacuum will usually do the trick.

It is very important to know, and remember, the code for cleaning your micro fiber sofa. All that is left to do is find the perfect micro fiber couch that fits your lifestyle.
