Microfiber Sofas & Pet Hair

Microfiber furniture offers a unique solution for the problem of pet hair on the sofa. Durable and stain resistant, microfiber sofas will stand up to the wear of pets.

  1. Benefits

    • Microfiber is a synthetic upholstery fabric that is known for its durability and stain resistance qualities. It is a low-pile material and is easily swept clean of debris and pet hair.

    Types

    • Cat and dog hair can collect on a microfiber sofa as easily as on a traditional upholstery. However, the lower the pile of the microfiber, the easier the material will be to sweep clean.

    Solutions

    • Cleaning pet hair off microfiber can be accomplished easily with a vacuum attachment or a specialty pet hair brush such as the Pet Sweeper made by Pledge. The short fibers of the material will not cling to the pet hair.

    Options

    • Another solution for avoiding pet hair accumulation on a microfiber sofa is to stop the problem at the source. Regular grooming and brushing of a pet, particularly long haired cats or dogs, will prevent shedding and reduce the need for cleaning.

    Warning

    • When cleaning microfiber of pet hair, it is important not to wet the surface of the sofa. While dampness will not harm microfiber, it can cause the material of the couch to cling more tightly to pet hairs, making it more difficult to sweep.
