How to Choose the Right Pet-Friendly Soft Furnishings

 


Having pets is a joy, but it can also be a challenge when it comes to keeping your home looking its best. Pets can shed fur, scratch furniture, and make messes. If you want to keep your soft furnishings looking their best, it's important to choose pet-friendly options.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing pet-friendly soft furnishings:

·         Fabric: Look for fabrics that are durable, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. Some good options include leather, microfiber, and synthetic fabrics such as Crypton or Sunbrella. Avoid fabrics that are loosely woven or nubby-textured, as these can easily be damaged by pet claws.

·         Color: Darker colors are more forgiving when it comes to hiding pet hair and stains. If you have a light-colored pet, you may want to choose a fabric with a pattern or texture that will help camouflage any messes.

·         Design: Choose furniture with simple lines and curves. Avoid furniture with sharp edges or corners, as these can be easily scratched by pet claws.

·         Construction: Look for furniture that is well-made and sturdy. This will help to prevent it from being damaged by pet jumping or scratching.

Here are some specific pet-friendly soft furnishings that you might want to consider:

·         Leather sofa: Leather is a durable and easy-to-clean fabric that is also resistant to scratches. It's a good choice for homes with dogs or cats.

·         Microfiber sofa: Microfiber is another durable and stain-resistant fabric that is also soft and comfortable. It's a good choice for homes with cats, as it's less likely to snag on their claws.

·         Chenille sofa: Chenille is a soft and plush fabric that is also easy to clean. It's a good choice for homes with dogs or cats that like to cuddle.

·         Rugs: Choose rugs that are made from durable materials such as wool or polypropylene. Avoid rugs with loose threads or tassels, as these can be easily damaged by pet claws.

·         Beds: Choose beds that are made from durable and comfortable materials. Some good options include memory foam beds, orthopedic beds, and beds with washable covers.

Go for fabrics which are safe:

 

A pets well being is our responsibilty. Choose fabrics which are PFC free and/or any other harmful Carbon induced chemicals.

At Pret-fab, all our performance fabrics come with with a PFC safe certification which makes the collection not just comfortable but even safe for your beloved pets

By following these tips, you can choose pet-friendly soft furnishings that will keep your home looking its best and your pets comfortable.
