What's the typical lifespan of a couch?

The typical lifespan of a couch can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the quality of the materials and construction, how often it's used, and how well it's cared for. In general, a good quality couch made from durable materials can last anywhere from 7 to 15 years with regular use. However, some couches may last even longer with proper care and maintenance. Regular cleaning, avoiding excessive wear and tear, and addressing any damage or issues promptly can help extend the lifespan of your couch. Ultimately, the lifespan of a couch will depend on a variety of individual factors, and it's difficult to give a definitive answer. If you're considering purchasing a new couch, it's important to choose one made from high-quality materials and construction to ensure it lasts as long as possible.

How can you protect your couch from stains and wear?

There are several things you can do to protect your couch from stains and wear: 1. Use a couch cover: A couch cover can protect your couch from spills, stains, and wear. It can also be easily removed and washed, making it a convenient solution. 2. Avoid eating and drinking on the couch: Eating and drinking on the couch can increase the risk of spills and stains. Encourage family members and guests to use the dining table or kitchen island for meals and drinks. 3. Clean up spills immediately: If a spill does occur, it's important to clean it up immediately to prevent it from seeping into the fabric. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to blot up the spill, and avoid rubbing it in. 4. Avoid direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause your couch to fade and wear faster. If possible, position your couch away from windows or use curtains or blinds to block out the sun. 5. Use a fabric protector: There are several fabric protectors available that can help repel spills and stains. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions when applying the protector.
