Do Just One Thing
Did you know more than 12 million tons of furniture is thrown away every year, with much of it ending up in landfills? Sofas are among the biggest items in that waste stream, but there are simple ways to help yours last for years, or even a lifetime. Keep your sofa out of direct sunlight, which can fade and "sun-bleach" fabrics. Rotate cushions regularly so they wear evenly, preventing dents and helping them hold their shape. Spot-treat spills as soon as they happen, and vacuum frequently to remove dirt, dust and debris before they become embedded in the fabric.
