What is better quality sofas Lane or La-z-boy? Only intrested in these 2 brands.?
have you had a problem with la-z-boy sofa cushions getting out of shape or flatening after the 1 year warranty?

If you own a lane has the above ever happned to you?

I don't know about the sofas, but I own a Lane recliner - we've had it for 6 years now and it still looks and feels new. The cushions are all still firm and the padded arms are still fluffy - not all floppy like the cheap ones get after awhile. Oh - and it gets MAJOR use too - it's not just sitting in a room looking pretty. I haven't heard real great or bad things about La-z-boy (other than they're overpriced), but I'd buy a sofa from Lane in a heartbeat, but that's just my opinion. Good luck!

Is it possible to have sofas professionally cleaned?

Posted under sofas

I have a set of microfiber sofas and chairs. Have only had them for about a year and I already feel like I need to scrub them. Is there a product out there that you would recommend? Is it possible to have them professionally deep cleaned? Tips and advice please…

you can have them professionaly cleaned. i try to have mine done at least once a year and i have the microfiber kind too. however it can be pricing and if you do i recommend a well known place not some single guy who does it on the side. but i cost me about i think it was 45 for my love seat and 65 for my couch but they did a great job. or you could go to walmart and buy the bissel proheat carpet shamppoer for like 125 bucks and do it yourself whenever i just got mine like 3 months ago and i absolutley love it i will never pay to have it done again. i hope this helps

I'm thinking of getting a cat. How can I avoid stinky cat smell and scratched up sofas?

Posted under sofas

I have seen two mice in my apt over the past week. I'm thinking of getting a cat to help with the problem. My friend has a cat and her house always reeks of stinky litter box and cat hairs all over the furniture. Also I have leather sofas. I do not want the cat to scratch p my furniture. How can I get a cat and not have to deal with more problems than I already have. Also I worry about cat food possibly attracting more vermin. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

Cats are a bit of work. So if you really don't feel like taking care of another life, please don't bother. Just lay some lettuce wedges down (lettuce has a lot of water in the leaves, a mouse eats enough of this and they drown) or poison pellets, or even the plug in rodent repellent. There are enough homeless and uncared for cats out there.

But if you are up to the challenge then here are some tips that have helped me.

First off stinky litter box problems can be solved by several methods.

1. find a corner of your home that you do not always frequent like the abandoned corner of your bathroom, or the space next to a closet door. Mine is next to the "coat closet" that we never use. It is in the corner of the living room and behind a whimsical rocking chair.

2. We use Fresh step lavender litter so every time they use it it releases lavender scent rather than the Stinky Smell.

3. If the smell does make an appearance and you have changed the litter religiously then simply add a little baking powder. Weird yes, but it helps knock the smell out.

Cat food drawing in more rodents, not a problem, buy one of those plastic food storage bins with a secure lid and place the cat food in there.
When it is time to feed the little thing just give it a single serving and let them eat it. place it somewhere high up. Allow the cat access to possibly a side counter, or a end table. But feed the cat twice a day, and clean up the mess after the cat is done. same as you would with your own dishes.

Scratching the furniture. Yeah that can get annoying my first cat killed my mothers couch when I was 8 years old. So Since then we tried the squirt bottle filled with water, but guess what you will not be there 24/7 to stop such behavior. Then we tried the whole claw caps thing, but some cats are really damn smart. Mine are, they got the caps off. I still don't know how. You can always go to the final resort of de-clawing your cat but if your cat is going outside then how could it defend itself? the answer is in one of two options.

Getting rid of the front set only as that is the set they will rip up your furniture, but leaving them with the back set so if they get outside they will have a defense system still.

Or

You can get them a tendonectomy. This is where the cat still has it's claws but they cannot extend the claws to rip up your leather. So the claws still grow, but you just trip them. My cats have this, and my NEW sofa still looks NEW 2 years later.

the cat hairs, well groom your cat, look for a cat that has short hair, that is first. Brush them, or take them to a groomer. they need a bath, a good rub down, and there will be less hair. Then buy yourself a tape brush thing, or the pledge hair remover. it is simple enough.

How can you stop 8mnth old Kittens from clawing up our carpets and sofas?

Posted under sofas

We have already tried spraying them with water from a spray bottle with no success, and just yelling at them or hitting the sofa to scare them to stop doesn't work either. They are causing holes in our carpets, and have completely ruined the back of one of our sofas already. We trim their claws atleast once a month, but that doesn't seem to help either. They have cat toys and a play gym to play on, so we don't see why they still insist on using our funiture and floors to sharpen their claws on. Any advise would be greatly appreciated :)
Do you have a cat post? If not, you know what material they like to claw on, so I would get one ASAP. It's natural for them to claw at something in order to shed their nails.

Supposedly cats do not like the smell of citrus, so you can spray a mixture of lemon or orange with water on the furniture to repel them. Pet stores will sell stuff like this that is safe for furniture that repels cats.

I had the same problem some years ago and I ended up covering the entire patch of the area they liked to scratch with a piece of plastic so they couldn't scratch at it. After about a month, once they got used to scratching something else, I was able to remove the plastic and they never went back to it.
