cane river asked:


I recently moved and puchased a sofa from a second hand vintage store. The sofa is gorgeous but I got a really good deal on it bc it has a stain and a tear on the right arm and seat cushion. I was wondering if anyone knew the best and least expensive way to clean it? The colors of the sofa are a bit dull and I was thinking of renting one of those hand cleaners and mixing in color safe bleach with water to brighten the color. Would this be safe for the sofa? The material is a cotton clothlike material. Any other suggestions to brighten it?

Do I need to break-in my new leather sofa for it to be comfortable?

July 25th, 2010 | Posted in sofas   Comments Off
Yellowfrog F asked:


I have had my new leather sofa for a week now and it is very painful on my butt. It is the firm style as opposed to the plush, soft type. My butt hurts after only 15 minutes or so. I have heard varying opinions so far about leather sofa cushion break in periods - some say it is necessary, some say it shouldn’t be. Anyone with experience on this?

Stephina372004 asked:


My front door measurements are 30 x 80. I have a porch and there is a low railing on the right side. I would like to know if a 92″L x 38″D x 38″H Sofa and a 73″L x 38″D x 38″H Loveseat could fit through the door using the wrap around method. If it can work, can someone explain the wrap around method? Thanks.

How do I get my sofa seat cushions plump again?

June 30th, 2010 | Posted in sofas   Comments Off
lucygoose asked:


My couch is only 7 months old but because it is in the main living space, it is used quite often. My sofa seat cushions are starting to get a bit “flat” and was wondering if there is a way to get it plump again without having to replace it. Any suggestions?
Before I chose the best answer, I tried a variation of the suggestion that does not involve any replacement. Because my cushions will not fit in my clothes dryer, I laid it out under the sun and the heat plumped it again. If not for the dryer suggestion, I would not think of doing this. Thanks!

How do you thoroughly disinfect a leather sofa?

June 29th, 2010 | Posted in sofas   Comments Off
Florida w/ Questions asked:


A friend has offered me a sofa - can’t take it with her on a move. It is only a year old and very nice. BUT, she has 6 dogs. And all the problems that come with that. They have had mites, fleas, I am sure they have probably peed on the sofa, etc.

I am wondering if there is anything you can use on a leather sofa - either store bought or made-at-home that I can use to clean and disinfect the leather.

Thanks.
