The two-minute tip to make your couch last longer.

How to look after your couch

Firstly, make sure you add 'couch' to your list of items to vacuum at least once a month. 

The next step is the most important.

Although some couches don’t allow you to remove the cushions, the ones that do should be flipped and rotated every one to two weeks. 

We are creatures of habit and tend to sit in the same spot. Flipping and moving the cushions around will reduce wear and keep your couch looking fresher for longer.
