Extend the life of your furniture

One thing that I notice with most sofas and arm chairs that I clean,is that one arm chair in a 3 1 1  suite usually suffers more with wear than the other chair.
Often in a family  household the armchairs are taken one each  by the couple,the man of the house will use the same chair all the time and his wife or partner will use the other chair all the time.
Now very often one person(usually the male)will be more rough on the arm chair than the other.To be frank I can often spot the mans chair as soon as I enter a room to clean a suite.The mans chair will be more dirty than the other armchair and very often more worn on the arms.
It is therefore a good idea to swap over chairs every 3 to 6 months,it means actually moving the chairs themselves,because the chairs are chosen for their position in the room,so the mans chair is put where his partner sits and his partners chair is moved to where the man normally sits.This ensures both chairs wear evenly,so instead of one armchair being worn down over say three years both chairs will suffer more gradual wear over 6 years.
Also it is a good idea to turn the seat cushions and if there are back cushions turn them regularly on both the armchairs and of course the sofa.
