The Odyssey of Microfiber Upholstery from Industrial to Residential

Extremely adaptable for many living room furniture styles, microfiber upholstery started in the seemingly mundane world of Japanese industry. Renowned for its cleaning properties, microfiber cloth is the ingenious invention of scientists in that country. Because it was so successful in factories, soon a household spinoff went on the market. Furniture manufacturers found that microfiber upholstery is easy to make and maintain, retaining all the advantages of the cleaning cloths made of this wonder stuff.

Reasons to Consider Microfiber Upholstery

Never panic or get mad over another spilled glass of chocolate milk again. With natural and other fabrics you get a permanent mess but not so with this scientific marvel. You see, with microfiber upholstery, liquids just bead up. All you have to do is wipe up the spill while it’s still fresh and no harm done! It doesn’t matter if your microfiber couch is plush or fake leather. It will remain new-looking! To maintain that pristine appearance, just give your cool microfiber chair a good vacuuming occasionally.

Down Sides of Microfiber Upholstery

We’ll level with you: microfiber upholstery has static, so if that bothers you, then this furniture would not work in your home. Also, when you sit on or brush up against microsuede upholstery, it sometimes leaves a harmess swirl pattern like a cowlick or going against the grain. Finally, microfiber upholstery holds onto pet hair, so if you have a dog or cat, you’ll regularly be doing vacuuming.
