How to Clean Polyester Furniture
Think about the feeling you get when you sit down on the couch only to encounter crumbs, pet hair, and who knows what. Nobody wants to feel that, especially if it is not from your own mess. That’s just one reason why you should take care of your furniture and clean it routinely.
In this blog, we’ll discuss the importance of proper polyester furniture care to ensure the materials last as long as possible.
Understanding Polyester Fabric
Polyester is often utilized in furniture due to its durability, easy maintenance, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. This material can effectively mimic the appearance of real leather for a cheaper cost. Additionally, polyester is commonly used in outdoor equipment and sportswear due to its ability to not absorb moisture easily, making it an ideal choice for furniture that may be in common contact with spills and accidents. You never know what mess kids or dogs are going to make!
Although polyester is stain-resistant and easy to clean, implementing a regular cleaning regimen can help prevent the accumulation of particles, ensuring that the furniture continues to look fresh.
Routine Cleaning Solutions for Polyester
In the furniture industry, the four qualities to look for are composition, light fastness, pilling, and Martindale rub (abrasion resistance). Here are some tips to keep your polyester furniture in top condition:
- Routine Vacuuming: Weekly, you should gently use a dry brush to remove all loose particles from the polyester and use a handheld vacuum to remove the loose dirt, hair, crumbs, etc., after brushing.
- Routine Wipe Down: Once a week use a water-based, or solvent-based polyester furniture cleaner and lightly wipe down with a microfiber cloth. Make sure to check the furniture tag for a cleaning code, this will tell you what type of polyester cleaner is best for you.
- Clean Stains Immediately: Stains should be cleaned immediately. Blot the area, do not rub as it will go deeper into the material. A solvent-based cleaner is best for a stain.
- Deodorize: If your furniture has a funky smell, lemon eliminates odors. In a spray bottle, mix water and lemon juice, then lightly mist your furniture.
- Steam Cleaning: Before steam cleaning, check the furniture tag to make sure it is safe. Every 6-12 months is a great time to steam-clean your polyester furniture.
-
- High temperature loosens deep dirt, dust, and grime.
-
- Steam kills bacteria, mold, and dust mites.
-
- Helps eliminate odors trapped in the fabric.
-
- Steam can revive the appearance and softness.

How Long Should Your Quality Furniture Last?
A Guide to Investing in Longevity with High-Quality Furniture Brands
When considering furniture for your home, it's essential to think long-term. High-end, Scandinavian design-influenced furniture—like the furniture offered by Fjords—isn't just a purchase; it's an investment.
The initial cost of high-quality furniture brands may seem high compared to other options, but it's important to consider the long-term benefits. Quality furniture isn't just about aesthetics. It’s also about durability, comfort and a timeless design that stays relevant through various life stages.
The Cost-Effectiveness of Quality Furniture
The adage "you get what you pay for" holds especially true in the world of furniture. While the upfront cost of high-quality pieces may be higher, they prove to be more cost-effective in the long run. Instead of constantly replacing poorly made furniture, investing in well-crafted pieces from high-quality furniture brands means you won't have to worry about frequent replacements.
Brands like Fjords offer furniture that combines ergonomic design with enduring style. This ensures that your pieces won't just be comfortable and functional but will also stand the test of time.

The Importance of Materials and Craftsmanship
High-quality furniture materials and craftsmanship are at the heart of long-lasting furniture. Fjords, for example, emphasizes the use of premium materials and expert craftsmanship in our pieces. The use of durable materials, like our high-grade leathers, ensures that furniture can withstand daily use and minor accidents, which is especially important for growing families.
Let’s break down one of the unique advantages of Fjords’ high-quality furniture materials.
We cold-cure molded foam into the exact shape of the product. This makes your furniture more durable. And it means the furniture keeps its appearance longer compared to those made with block foam. After a few years of everyday use, block foam tends to lose suppleness, making it softer and less ergonomic. However, our cast-molded, cold-cure foam retains its suppleness and ergonomic properties much longer in comparison.
Suitable for Every Stage of Life
One of the key advantages of high-end furniture is its adaptability to different stages of life. Whether you're single, expanding your family or entering your golden years, quality furniture can adapt to your changing needs.
The durability and ease of maintenance of products like Fjords' furniture make them ideal for households with children or pets. Moreover, the timeless design of Scandinavian-influenced furniture ensures that it never goes out of style, no matter how your life or tastes evolve.
Maintenance and Upkeep
Maintaining your high-end furniture is crucial to ensure its longevity. Proper care, which includes regular cleaning and protecting the materials, can significantly extend the life of your pieces.
Fjords offers comprehensive guides on fabric and leather furniture care to help you keep your investment in top condition. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your furniture remains a beautiful and functional part of your home for years to come.
Choose Fjords
Investing in high-quality furniture is not just about buying a product; it's about investing in your lifestyle, comfort and the aesthetic of your home.
So, wondering where to buy quality furniture?
At Fjords, you can get more than a piece of furniture. You'll get a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing piece that will serve your home well throughout the years.
