As New Jersey and Pennsylvania’s number one provider of custom upholstered chairs, sofas, restaurant booths, and more, Peroni’s Upholstery has handled countless pieces of pet-damaged furniture. If you are looking for ways to pet-proof your furniture with new upholstery, look no further — here are three upholstery materials you can use in your home.
3 Upholstery Materials for Pet-Proof Furniture
Tight-Weave Fabrics
If you have dogs, cats, or other pets with claws that frequently get caught on your furniture, tight-weave fabrics may be just what you need. Claws won’t snag as easily on tightly-woven fabrics, and hair and dirt won’t show as much if you opt for a darker color or something that matches your furry friend. Canvas and denim are two tight-weave fabrics to consider.
Synthetic Microfiber
Synthetic microfiber upholstery can technically be classified as a tight-weave fabric, but it’s pet-proofing properties are so fantastic that the material deserves its own spot on this list. Microfiber is highly resistant to rips and scratches, and removing pet hair is as easy as a simple swipe of the hand. Plus, a bit of soap and water is usually all you need to remove stains!
Leather
Leather furniture upholstery is perfect for pet owners because of its durability and how easy it is to clean. But not all leather is the same — if you are buying a new sofa or getting custom reupholstery for pet-damaged furniture, you may want to avoid leather that is very smooth, as smoother leathers tend to scratch easily. If you have cats, your best bet would be leather that already has a “distressed” look to it — just in case.
