Microfibre is an extremely versatile fabric that can make many different products. One of them which is upholstery for recliners. Microfibre can be used to make clothing, especially. Especially athletic wear, as it has excellent moisture-wicking properties. Microfibre is also quite elastic, durable, and very easy to clean.
So it is many times used in products such as blankets, linens, and upholstery. In our article today, we will look specifically at microfiber recliners, which are a variety of recliners that have microfibre, and fabric upholstery.
What is Microfiber Upholstery and its Benefits
Microfibre is a fabric that consists of a synthetic material called polyester. Microfibre can hold up to stains. It’s easy to clean, and it is extremely durable. These are the main factors that make microfibre as 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. And 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 in anything from traditional beige, brown and black upholstery to nontraditional bright and bold Reds, oranges, purple blues, and even printed options. Microfiber upholstery will also not fade in the sun because of the UV rays, which makes it ideal.
- Stain Resistant – I never benefit from having a recliner with microfibre upholstery is the fact that it’s stain resistant. Because the material is so tightly woven with fibers that are thinner than a human hair. In most cases, it will naturally repel water and stains. Microfiber is also moisture-wicking, which means that it will wick away moisture from the surface of your recliner in the event of a spill. So the spill will bead up on the surface rather than absorb into the fabric.
- 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 and on your microfiber upholstery. So if you leave a wet towel or a wet item on your microfiber recliner for a long time, it may leave a nasty stain. Another downside of microfiber upholstery on your recliners is the fact that it does create static electricity and clean it. It tends to grip dust, dander, and also some other small particles, which is one of the reasons why it is a favorite used to make cleaning cloths, however, this is not ideal in terms of upholstery for a recliner. So if you have pets that shed hair, I would not recommend a microfibre recliner for you, as the pet hair will stick on your recliner. On the other hand, you going to need a good vacuum cleaner if you do opt for a microfiber, recliner to remove dust and pet dander.
caring for a Microfiber Recliner
Besides the pros and the cons of having a microfiber recliner, if you do take good care of it and follow these few steps, it should give you many years of great pleasure and relaxation without any issues.
Firstly, I would advise that you check the label or the instructions that will come with your microfibre recliner, which will give you a clear indication of how to care for and clean your microfibre recliner. Most microfiber recliners can easily be washed and cleaned, and they will dry quite quickly.
Microfiber should be dried in low heat and low-heat water should be used on it for cleaning, as it can easily scorch or melt. Using a bit of fabric softener on your microfiber, and recliners when cleaning can help to reduce the static.
Other all microfiber as a fabric is very easy to clean and careful. It is generally durable. It is a soft texture, and it is in great choice to use as upholstery for a recliner.
