Q: What kind of paper is used to wrap furniture?

• <div><p>Paper moving pads, also called furniture wrapping paper or paper moving blankets, are sheets of recycled paper used to protect various items during moving. Similar to traditional moving blankets, paper pads are also reusable, making them a sustainable and cost-effective option for protecting your belongings during the moving process. Although they&rsquo;re recycled, they still provide excellent protection against dust, dirt, and scratches.</p></div>

Q: Can I reupholster my own furniture?

• <div><p>Doing your own upholstery work is possible, but it&rsquo;s typically a better idea to leave the work to professionals. Without experience and the proper tools, it&rsquo;s difficult to get a professionally finished appearance for your furniture, and many DIYers end up spending money on tools and materials only to hire a professional when they can&rsquo;t get the fabric to look right. If you have reupholstery experience, feel free to give it a shot. However, if you&rsquo;re not confident in your skill level or you&rsquo;re working with antiques, it&rsquo;s worth the money to hire a pro.</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: What maintenance does upholstered furniture require?

• <div><p>Regular vacuuming, spot cleaning, and protecting surfaces from sun exposure prevents wear and fading, preserving longevity.</p></div>
