Hey, if you’ve ever wondered about microfiber, boy, do I have a story for you. I have alot of children and am used to having leather because spills sometimes wipe off easily. We recently purchased new furniture and let me tell you I shop for a bargain. About two months ago, I was looking for a brown leather sectional that could seat my large eight person family as well as guests. Well it was hard to find without going over our $2000 budget. Anyway I wanted to get the living room out the way and then work on my bedroom. I planned to do my bedroom in a seafoam green, cream, tan and brown. Then to my surprise I changed my mind because I had found the perfect Seafoam green microfiber sectional. I said to myself ,”I really wanted this in my bedroom”, followed with “this is too light for the children”. When I saw the price I was sold! This large sectional with ottoman was $850, this means I could purchase something else as well because I was way under buget. The sectional had a small snag and a piece of the wood was chipped at the bottom so I talked them down to $700. The best part was when we first walked in the store I saw one of those mechanical TV stands where the TV pops out it was fabulous. I hugged this thing tight as many people were looking at it, I even had the sales rep put a ticket on it so none else could purchase it. Well now I had the money to buy it. It retailed over $4000 I got it for $800 another bargain because I talked them down $50. All I can say is my Living room is georgeous or at least it was.
Two nights ago while my daughter and I were doing some free shopping at Dots(with our $10 off coupon) my husband was watching the little ones. He claimed my 2 year old was asleep so he went and got on the computer. Then I recieved the call, I wasnt even gone an hour. It seems my son marked up the whole sofa with a pen. Sure enough I came home fuming mad at my husband. When I saw my sofa I was in tears.
Later that night I got out some rubbing alcohal to attempt to clean the sofa, because water leaves water spots. I preceded to clean it and all the ink came out. I couldnt believe it, I didnt even have to scrub hard. The only problem was it still left those nasty water marks. I decided to leave it alone. Fortunately, I was thinking because I bought my furniture with a insurance called master cleanerprotection plan. They will clean your furniture for 5 yars and if the stain doesnt come out they will replace the furniture. I have decided to let them have a try at it because I really dont want a sofa covered in water spots. I will take some before and after pictures let let you all see how it worked out.
But one thing I will say the ink never came off that leather sofa. I give the Microfiber an 8 out of 10. This score may go up after Master cleaner comes out!
