We take pride in our homes and our furnishings here in New Zealand. As a nation we love the outdoors, we love getting into nature, and we love to entertain. And, because we are a country with four true seasons, we have certain times of the year when our love of the outdoors and entertaining drives us inside. We come home from a wild beach walk or a hike in nature, bringing sand and soil and all manner of the outside in. We have friends and family over and have dinner parties and get togethers where food and drink is celebrated heartily. Inevitably we find ourselves dealing with a stain or two on our favourite lounge suite, a much-loved sofa that's starting to look a bit too loved, or upholstered dining chairs that have a little too much evidence of good times and happy memories.
As a generally house-proud nation, when our furnishings start to look a little worse for wear or a beloved child or friend spills a dish of spaghetti or a glass of red wine or cordial on our treasured investments, we may need a little help! That's where our expert advice and handy tips from our specialists here at JAE come in. From leather furniture to your caravan or boat squabs, we've put together our top tips on how to clean upholstery and remove stains from furniture yourselves.
