Cover It did a magnificent job of reupholstering our big old but much loved lounge, making it better than it was when new! I would absolutely recommend them for quality, service and value.

Cover ItUpholstery has many loyal repeat customers

 

One of our long time repeat customers had us recently recover their much loved lounge suite once again.

We had recovered this lounge suite twice before but this time was a long time since the last time as since had 2 boys, now teenagers, and a dog make themselves comfortable on the furniture.

With their permission I’m putting the before and after photos on here to show  the transformation.

This time we also replaced the seat and back cushion foam.

As you can see Cover It Upholstery can transform any furniture in any state back to its former glory.





Another repeat customer of Cover It Upholstery had us recently make a French Tufted Cushion for a reading nook built.

The joinery was done by a joinery company we have worked with on many projects. Contact us if you need joinery work done and will happily pass on their details.

These are the before and after photos.

(can you see the joins in the fabric? Neither can I, because the joins were sewn exactly on the edge of a stripe)

 IS GOOD QUALITY FURNITURE WORTH RECOVERING?

Absolutely! Recovering good quality furniture is often worth it because it can give new life to pieces that have solid construction and timeless design. Here’s why it can be a smart move:

 

Durability: High-quality furniture is built to last. Investing in recovering can extend its lifespan and make it more sustainable.

 

Customization: Recovering allows you to choose fabrics, colours, and patterns that fit your current style and decor, making the piece feel fresh and tailored to your taste.

 

Cost-Effective: While the initial cost of recovering might seem high, it’s often less than buying a new, high-quality piece of furniture. Plus, you’re preserving something that might be more valuable or unique.

 

Sentimental Value: If the furniture has sentimental value or has been in the family for years, recovering it can preserve those memories while making it functional and stylish again.

 

Eco-Friendly: By reupholstering, you’re keeping furniture out of landfills and reducing the demand for new resources, which is a win for the environment.

 

Overall, if the piece is well-made and you like its design, recovering can be a great investment

THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEATHER

Different types of leather require different care methods to ensure their longevity and maintain their appearance. Here are some general guidelines for caring for different types of leather:

 

1. Full-grain leather: This is the highest quality and most durable type of leather. To care for full-grain leather, follow these steps:

- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.

- Apply a leather conditioner or cream to keep the leather moisturized and prevent it from drying out.

- Avoid exposing the leather to direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can cause it to fade or crack.

 

2. Top-grain leather: This type of leather is slightly lower in quality than full-grain leather but still requires proper care. Here's how to care for top-grain leather:

- Clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.

- Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for top-grain leather to remove stains or spills.

- Apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and supple.

 

3. Suede leather: Suede is a type of leather with a napped finish. To care for suede leather, follow these steps:

- Use a suede brush or eraser to remove surface dirt and stains.

- Avoid getting suede leather wet, as it can cause permanent damage. If it does get wet, let it air dry naturally.

- Apply a suede protector spray to repel water and stains.

 

4. Nubuck leather: Nubuck is similar to suede but has a finer grain. Here's how to care for nubuck leather:

- Use a nubuck brush or eraser to remove dirt and stains.

- Avoid getting nubuck leather wet, as it can cause permanent damage. If it does get wet, let it air dry naturally.

- Apply a nubuck protector spray to repel water and stains.

 

5. Patent leather: Patent leather has a glossy, shiny finish. To care for patent leather, follow these steps:

- Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and smudges.

- Use a patent leather cleaner or mild soap and water to remove stubborn stains.

- Apply a patent leather conditioner or polish to maintain its shine.

 

Remember to always check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer or consult a professional if you are unsure about how to care for a specific type of leather.

 

 

 LEATHER CLEANING


1. Ink Stains:

   - Blot the stain gently with a clean, white cloth to remove any excess ink.

   - Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or non-acetone nail polish remover to a cotton ball or cloth.

   - Gently dab the stain with the alcohol-soaked cotton ball, being careful not to rub too hard.

   - Continue dabbing until the ink stain is lifted.

   - Wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth and allow it to air dry.

 

2. Grease or Oil Stains:

   - Blot the stain gently with a clean, white cloth to remove any excess grease or oil.

   - Sprinkle a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder onto the stain and let it sit for a few hours to absorb the oil.

   - Use a soft brush or cloth to gently brush away the powder.

   - If the stain persists, apply a small amount of leather cleaner or mild soap mixed with water to a clean cloth.

   - Gently rub the stain in a circular motion until it is removed.

   - Wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth and allow it to air dry.

 

3. Water Stains:

   - Blot the stain gently with a clean, white cloth to remove any excess moisture.

   - Allow the leather to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.

   - Once dry, gently buff the stain with a soft cloth or use a hairdryer on the lowest heat setting to help remove the water stain.

   - If the stain persists, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to a clean cloth and gently rub the stain in a circular motion.

   - Wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth and allow it to air dry.

 

4. Food or Beverage Stains:

   - Blot the stain gently with a clean, white cloth to remove any excess food or liquid.

   - Mix a small amount of mild soap with water to create a soapy solution.

   - Dip a clean cloth into the soapy solution and gently rub the stain in a circular motion.

   - Wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.

   - Allow the leather to air dry naturally.

 

It's important to test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the leather before applying it to the stain. If you're unsure or dealing with a stubborn stain, it's best to consult a professional leather cleaner for advice or assistance.
