Beautiful classic piece- this daybed chaise carries more then 200 years heritage in design, still with the right fabric it can get a modern charm!

The history of the daybeds starts at the ancient Egypt times- even at that time craftsmen were able to create daybeds- not really similar in look to the later ones, but the function was the same: provide a comfortable place for shorter daytime rests, sleeping, reading.

The comfort of your sofa is paramount. Every one sits differently.

So ask your self the following:

• What’s the best sitting posture for your life style (slouch or upright)?
• Does the sofa offer the best for your sitting posture?
• Is the sofa as comfortable as you want it?
• Are the seat height, the depth, the arm height & cushion fillers correct for your life style

No matter how clean you keep your furniture throughout the years, your couches are still bound to get dirty.  While many of us are very careful, accidents still occur and the sooner you clean them, the better your chance is of keeping your sofa stain free.  Even if there aren’t any stains or accidents, it is still recommended to periodically clean your fabric sofa to keep it fresh and looking new.  Instead of paying to have your sofa cleaned, there are other alternatives.

Here are a few simple things to keep in mind when cleaning your fabric sofas at home:

What NOT to do:

Never, under any circumstances, use bleach.  Some people assume that their fabric sofa is white, making them wrongly assume that bleach will not be harmful.  While some sofas may appear white, they have some distinct shade to them like “off white” or “egg white,” never just white.  For this reason, bleach will completely drain your sofa of any color it had and whether you do it on just one spot or your entire sofa, it will be noticeable and it will ruin the appearance of your sofa.   As for couches that have any other color to them, bleach will completely diminish it.  In addition to bleach, you should be aware of your furnitures warranty policy.  If your warranty is not up yet, do not clean it because adding cleaning solutions to it will void your policy.

Simple is better:

Sometimes less really can be more.  Try to shy away from expensive products and try something simple and effective like OxiClean.  While it’s noted that OxiClean is for clothing only, it’s really not.  It has proven to be effective with cleaning sofas as well because it is made specifically to clean fabric.  So why not a fabric sofa?  For cleaning fabric sofas, the OxiClean Max Force Laundry Stain Remover Spray is your best option.  It diminishes food stains, dissolves grease and oil, gets rid of dirt, and targets stains to remove them.  This product is safe and will not damage your furniture but should be tested before using.  The test that is recommended is called a spot test.

Spot testing:

Spot testing is a recommended test that should be done before cleaning your fabric sofa with any new product.  First, apply the product to an area of the sofa that is not seen, like the back of the skirting where the sofa comes together.  Then, don’t use the product until twenty four hours have passed.  Once a day has gone by, check the area that you applied the product and see if anything is different with the fabric.  If you see any damage done, do not proceed to use the product on the rest of your sofa because the same reaction will occur.  If all is well, the product is safe and will not harm your furniture.

More Alternatives:

Another efficient way to clean your fabric sofa is easier than you’d think and does not require buying any products that you don’t already have at home.  First, get a cup of laundry detergent or lye soap, then add a gallon of water and 1/4th cup of bleach.  However, be very careful to not put more than 1/4th cup of bleach because it can ruin your sofa.  If you use lye soap, you don’t need to add any bleach at all.  Mix the contents really well and use a soft brush to brush and clean the fabric.  Clean any excess liquid with either a shop vacuum or even a towel that will capture the moisture.   Once you have completed those steps, you repeat with just water and then allow your sofa to air dry.

More Options:

Another way to go about doing this is to dilute biological washing powder in hot water.  You can use a soft brush or towel and scrub your fabric, however be careful not to soak it.  Once you’re finished, repeat the steps with just plain water and allow your sofa to air dry.  Another helpful step you can add is vacuuming the surface of your sofa to maintain it and trap excess dirt, pet hairs, or anything else that’s unwanted and can be resting on your sofa.

Conclusion:

Whichever way you choose to go about cleaning your fabric sofa, follow the instructions carefully to avoid causing any damage to your furniture.  And remember, maintenance is very important.  By periodically vacuuming and cleaning your fabric sofa, you save yourself less work to do when it comes time to clean it.

A Knole Sofa is not just a piece of furniture; it is a classy work of art.  From their history, fabric, style and construction, you can see they have an excellent pedigree and are a significant mark of quality in the world of furniture.  These impressive, practical furniture pieces can be purchased bespoke, brand new, second hand, or as period antiques through specialists or at auction houses.

No one knows exactly when the very first Knole sofa was made.  However, we know that the most famous example originates from about 350 years ago in 17^th Century England, in the county of Kent.  It is there that a sofa of high quality, using the finest English traditional upholstering was created for Knole House; a stately home (the ancestral seat of the Sackville family) in Sevenoaks, from where the sofa takes its name.  Occasionally referred to as ‘the Knole Settee’, some believe that it was the early prototype of the first Knole sofa.  Whatever the truth, experts agree that the Knole sofa that still sits in Knole House is a fine example of the superiority and sophistication of this style of sofa.

Knole sofas still exude the style, class and quality that continue to make them popular today. Knole sofas can be made to measure and covered in any fabric or leather.  Due to the custom nature of so many Knole sofas, they can be made to any size.  At first glance, the Knole sofa doesn’t appear to be the most comfortable piece of furniture created.  With high sides, tall upright back and drop down arms tied by elaborately braiding, it looks rather unusual, but its solid beech frame and wide seats made of Irish duck feather offer unsurpassed space and comfort.

The drop-down arms are a fascinating feature of this excellent example of finest quality furniture.  When fully dropped down, they allow the sofa to be used as a bed.  When fully raised, they keep out the cold, creating a very snug and cosy place to nestle for the evening. In the days before central heating, this was a Godsend for a chilly night.  These days, it may keep the heating bills down!

Historically, it is believed that the high arms were intended to prevent curious servants from spying on what the lady of the house might be doing whilst her husband was away on business!  Whether this is historical fact, or fiction – it makes a great story to tell your visitors as they admire your very own Knole.

A bespoke handmade Knole is not a budget purchase.  It can cost anything up to £5000, but it is a piece of furniture that will last several lifetimes.  It is possible to purchase a pre-made Knole for less, but you will lose the exclusivity of a truly idiosyncratic sofa.  Nevertheless, that shouldn’t prevent you from looking for a great Knole for less; there are lots of places to purchase a beautiful two or three seater Knole for less than £2000.
