2. Watch the Weave The kind of yarn that chenille was made from is a type that has an inclined, textured surface, and it is known as pile. Piles are woven in a very tight way which makes it stronger, unlike other loosely woven counterparts, which makes it a more durable sofa. The direction which is known as the nap direction should be placed towards the front of a chenille sofa’s seat cushion and downwards on the back cushion to go along with your body when you sit or get up. The chenille upholstery will last longer and wear better if the nap is placed in the right direction. Clean Like You Mean It Taking proper care of the upholstery can help your chenille last longer. Clean your couch often using a vacuum cleaner to keep dust and rubbish from building up on the fibers of your chenille. Make use of a soft brush to slightly brush the Nap of your chenille to keep it looking good and soft. Using water on your chenille is not advisable because it flattens your plush pile. Occasionally flip and rotate your cushions to avoid uneven wear on the chenille upholstery. You can as well invite the services of professional upholstery cleaners to clean out your chenille couch to increase its lifespan.

3. The Stain Factor To enable them last longer and improve their durability, some chenille sofas are pretreated with a stain-resistant finish. Protective barriers are formed around the fibers by the stain repellents, thereby causing most spills to drop on the top of the upholstery. This makes the liquids to blot before a blemish can form. Quickly block spills with a clean white cloth; nonetheless, don’t rub the chenille it can lead to flattening of the raised Nap. It is possible for stain-resistant finishes to lose their durability over time; spray a fresh coating on it to increase the ability of the chenille to battle stains. Supporting Cast To make it a completely efficient sofa, it requires quality construction under the soft fabric, even if upholstering of chenille fabric is a heavy- duty, tough cover for almost every couch. Feel the fabric for cushy padding between wooden parts of the frame of the sofa and the chenille fabric; if the wood and the upholstery directly contact each other, it can easily wear out the sturdy chenille fabric. You can ask a furniture retailer concerning which the kinds of sprigs you can use on a sofa. When a spring is of a good quality like the eight-way hand-tied springs are much more reliable in terms of its possibility of breaking and puncturing the chenille upholstery.
