What is Microfiber Upholstery and its Benefits
Microfibre is a fabric that consists of a synthetic material called polyester. Microfibres can hold up to stains. It’s easy to clean, and it is extremely durable. These are the main factors that make microfibre as a fabric so desirable. On the other hand, microfibre also holds colors very well and will not easily show stains. Microfibre is usually a by-product of petroleum and crude oil, which is refined. And then. This, on the other hand, can raise several environmental and ethical concerns. Microfibre is not a natural fiber but rather a polyester-based synthetic fiber.
Here are a few of the many benefits of having a microfiber recliner;
- Colorfast – As you will see, most recliners that have microfiber upholstery will be available in many colors. This is, of course, because microfibres can hold their color very well. Microfibre recliners can come from traditional beige, brown, and black upholstery to nontraditional bright and bold Reds, oranges, purples, blues, and printed options. Microfiber upholstery will also not fade in the sun because of the UV rays, which makes it ideal.
- Stain Resistant – One of the key benefits of a recliner with microfibre upholstery is its stain resistance. The tightly woven material, with fibers thinner than a human hair, naturally repels water and most stains. Additionally, its moisture-wicking property ensures that spills are not absorbed but bead up on the surface.
- Downside – Unfortunately, as with everything, there is a downside to having a microfibre recliner. The microfiber is stain and water-resistant. It is not stain or waterproof. So stains that are not cleaned up immediately and wet spots that are not dried up immediately, will eventually sink into the microfiber and stay there, becoming much more difficult to clean off at a later stage. Wetness can cause nasty marks on your microfiber upholstery. So, leaving a wet towel or item on your microfiber recliner for a long time may leave a bad stain. Another downside of microfiber upholstery on your recliners is that it creates static electricity and attracts it. It tends to grip dust, dander, and some other small particles, which is one of the reasons why it is a favorite for cleaning cloths; however, this is not ideal for upholstery for a recliner. So if you have pets that shed hair, I would not recommend a microfibre recliner, as the pet hair will stick to your recliner. On the other hand, you’ll need a good vacuum cleaner if you opt for a microfiber recliner to remove dust and pet dander.
caring for a Microfiber Recliner
Understanding the pros and cons of a microfiber recliner is crucial, but rest assured: Proper care and maintenance are straightforward. With a few simple steps, your microfiber recliner can provide years of comfort and relaxation without any issues, giving you peace of mind about your purchase.
Firstly, please check the label or instructions on your microfiber recliner for instructions on caring for and cleaning it. Most microfiber recliners can be easily washed and dried quite quickly.
Microfiber can easily scorch or melt, so it should be dried in low heat and cleaned with low-heat water. Using fabric softener on your microfiber and recliners when cleaning can help reduce the static. Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning with a mild detergent and water can keep your microfiber recliner looking fresh and new. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for specific cleaning recommendations.
Other microfiber fabrics are very easy to clean and care for. It is generally durable. It has a soft texture and is a great choice for recliner upholstery.
