One of our most commonly asked questions from perspective furniture buyers is "How will this furniture hold up with my pets...?" Our goal is make sure you get the right furniture, and that it looks great for years to come.
How does leather or leather like materials hold up to pets?
- Leather can stand up to most pets.
- Some pets prefer not to sit or sleep on leather, so make sure you know if you love cuddling with your furry friend :)
- Leather is easy to clean, so don't be afraid of dirt tracked in by pets.
- Hair doesn't cling to leather, it's easy to wipe off or clean up with a vacuum.
- Your pet may leave tiny holes in the leather, but they usually are not too noticeable. Something that every pet lover should understand. If you love your pets, you've gotta just deal with a little wear. It's worth it.
- Microfiber is probably your best bet, simply because it wears well and is easy to maintain.
- Microfiber is great for cat owners, simply because a cat's claws cannot get stuck in the material - there are no loops in the fabric.
- Since Microfiber is 100% Polyester its easy to clean and virtually stain resistant.
- Microfiber also is not a hair magnet, it releases the pet hair easily with a quick vacuum or brush.
- Don't pick a fabric that is nubby, or has raised surfaces - as that would be too fun for a pet to scratch - resulting in some damage.
- Avoid fragile fabrics like silk, wool or linens.
