Q: How long does it take to reupholster furniture?

• <div><p>The average time it takes to reupholster a piece of furniture is around <b>eight hours</b>, but it varies significantly based on the piece. A professional can usually reupholster smaller furniture units like dining chairs or small ottomans in two to three hours, while an entire sofa might take several days or up to a week. Antique furniture tends to take longer to reupholster because greater care needs to be taken to preserve the piece. Your timeline might be a bit longer if you need other repairs done, like sanding and refinishing wood components.</p></div>

Q: What does it mean if a couch feels crusty after cleaning it?

• <div><p>If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven&rsquo;t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to wrap furniture?

• <div><p>To safeguard your furniture and upholstered items, it's best to use plastic wrap or specially-made plastic sofa covers. However, you should avoid wrapping wooden furniture in plastic if you plan on storing it, as plastic can trap moisture and warp the wood, plus it may damage certain finishes. In either case, old blankets or moving blankets make excellent alternatives. For protecting delicate glass table tops and mirrors, bubble wrap is always a reliable choice.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if the leather is good quality?

• <div><p>The best way to test the quality of a leather couch is to put your hands on it. If the upholstery is soft and warm, that&rsquo;s a good indication that the quality is higher. It should also smell like traditional leather. If it smells like chemicals, you&rsquo;re probably dealing with low-grade leather. </p></div>
