Pet friendly solutions

As endearing as pets are, they can be tough on your furniture. As a preventive measure, opt for pet-friendly fabric on couches, drapes, and other upholstery. Existing fabrics are prone to deterioration by chewing, scratching, and shedding. For this, you can use a lint roller which curbs lasting damage. You can also mark areas with transparent tape to protect furniture and keep it looking its best for prolonged periods. This will also deter your pets from scratching or biting. For stains, a good fabric protector can come in handy to regain the colour and texture of the upholstery.
