PFT #87 - Personal Finance Tip of the Week: Rotating Your Furniture Extends Its Life
Update: 2023-12-07
Description
When it comes to using a couch, sofa or chair, many people simply use it and do not think about maintenance; however, this may leave you with furniture that wears out prematurely.
So to avoid this, let’s go through some tips:
1. Rotate and fluff seat and back cushions regularly. This simply extends the life of the furniture
2. Rotate identical upholstered accent and dining room chairs when one or more of them are not used regularly. This will extend their life even further
3. Vacuum furniture with an upholstery attachment on a regular basis
This will prevent the cushion core from wearing prematurely, will preserve the fabric color and control welt slippage.
Although dust may not be apparent, it settles into your upholstery and may not only make it dirty, but may eventually damage the fibers if not removed.
Remember, If you think that your furniture is clean, just bang your hand on the cushions in the sunlight and you'll have hundreds of particles floating in the air.
The bottom line is that this is not your typical personal finance tip; however, when the rubber meets the road, life is all about math and money. Hence, take care of your things and they will take care of your pocketbook.
