A white furniture will never go out of style because it also symbolizes purity in beauty which makes it classic and timeless. They are easy to pair with other styles and colors, and it helps your home look brighter. However, having dirt and blemishes in furniture items are avoidable, especially in white furniture. We want to maintain its color and its quality without damaging the furniture. So without further ado, here are some of the best ways to clean your white furniture.

1. Avoid Sunlight

When you place any of your white furniture where there’s direct sunlight, it could cause a color change. Over the years, you’ll notice that your white furniture will turn into a yellowish color, especially if the furniture material is made of timber. So to ensure that this won’t happen, you can invest in having a protective cover. If you have white wood furniture, you can seal it with colorless wax monthly. Other methods to protect your white furniture from the sun is to place a protective film on the window or use curtains. 

2. Use Slipcovers

To protect your white sofa, use slipcovers. What’s great about using these is that they have a variety of designs and colors, so you won’t have to compromise the style of your living room. But if you still want to have a white sofa, just simply pick a white slipcover. Having slipcovers minimizes the dirt that will be stuck on the sofa and cleaning them will be made easy: you just have to remove it, then wash and rinse them. Using slipcovers can also protect your white furniture from sunlight.

3. Use Lint Roller

If you have a piece of white fabric furniture, such as chairs or sofa, use a lint roller to easily remove dust and other dirt on your furniture. This is a faster way to pick up the dirt when you clean everyday, and also safer because it won’t damage your white fabric furniture. Instead of using a feather duster, lint rollers are more advisable to use for wood furniture because the dirt automatically sticks to the roller.

4. Always Inspect Stains

From time to time, you should check for any stains or dirt on your white furniture. Through this way, you’ll know what method of cleaning you’re going to do. There are stains that require a special way to remove like coffee, chocolate, blood, etc., so you have to look into what type of cleaning materials you’ll need that won’t affect your white furniture.

It’s also good to inspect stains after eating, especially if you had a movie marathon in your living room. If you spot a stain, remove it quickly. Take note that if you leave a stain on a white furniture for a long time, especially on fabric, it will give you a hard time removing it from the furniture.

5. Do a Deep Cleaning

Clean your home and mostly your furniture regularly because it helps to maintain the quality and expand its life span. Doing a deep cleaning on your white furniture has extra methods like vacuuming your sofa. With this method, you’ll need to add other cleaning solutions, like baking soda and vinegar. Remember, when doing a deep cleaning, you don’t need to be harsh when removing stains and dirt; you just need to wipe them off gently. Don’t forget to test the cleaning products before putting them on your white furniture, so you can check if they are suitable to use and not harmful on your furniture.

A clean furniture and home in general will make your space look bigger and brighter. We hope that we have helped you in maintaining your white furniture with these tips.
