If you're going to be having a lot of guests in your home for the holidays, you'll want to protect your furniture. With all the extra use they'll be receiving, it can be expected that they might develop a few dirt spots. However, if you give them some extra tender loving care before the holidays, you can protect them against severe damage. Here are some suggestions that will help you protect your couches during the holidays:

Start with a Deep Cleaning

If you haven't done it yet, you should schedule an appointment to have your couches deep cleaned. It might seem counter-productive to clean your couches before your guests arrive. However, cleaning them first will help get rid of the dirt that might get ground into the fibers once your guests arrive. Not only that, but it will remove the odors that might be trapped in the fibers, leaving your couches clean and fresh for your guests.

Insist on Stain Guard Protection

While you're having your couches cleaned, it's important to think about the potential for stains that the holidays will bring. To help prevent those stains, and to make cleanup easier once your guests go home after the holidays, you should insist on an application of fabric stain guard. The stain guard will form a protective shield over your furniture, and prevent holiday spills from turning into permanent stains. While you're at it, you should also have your carpets treated with the stain guard. That way, your carpets will be protected during the holidays, as well.

Decorate Your Couches

If you're going to be having a large party, or your guests will be bringing young children with them, you may want to carry the holiday decorations over to your couch. While you have guests in, protect your couches with holiday covers. Add a few throw pillows, and you'll have a festive place for your guests to relax and enjoy the festivities. Once the holidays are over, and your guests have gone home, you can pack the covers away until next year.

Invest in a Portable Upholstery Cleaner

While you're planning your holiday gatherings, it's a good idea to plan for the possible spills and messes. A great way to do that is by investing in a portable upholstery cleaner. With a portable upholstery cleaner, you'll be able to take care of messes and spills as soon as they occur. That way, you won't be left with any permanent reminders of the holiday spills.
