The holidays can be hard on your upholstery fabrics and furniture. Tri-County Furniture Restoration in Cincinnati has provided expert antique furniture restoration for over 35 years, and they know what it takes to make your furniture look great again. These furniture experts also know a thing or two about protecting your investment and offer excellent advice to keep your furniture in great condition during the hectic holiday season. 

Here are three tips to keep your furniture in tip-top shape over the holidays:

• Always Use Hot Pads Or Trivets On Your Dining Table: Whether you're planning a full, sit-down turkey dinner for Christmas or a casual New Year's potluck brunch, make sure that you never place a hot tray or pan directly on your wooden dining table. This can scorch the surface of your table.

• Use Heat-Resistant Coasters Under Candles: In addition to keeping candles well away from upholstered furniture and drapes to prevent fire, use a protective coaster to prevent hot wax from dripping on your furniture. This can cause the finish to bubble and peel, which keeps furniture repair shops busy in January.

• Invest In An Inexpensive Kids' Table: If your house is brimming with the patter of little feet over the holidays, buy a cheap card table and chair set for children to use. They'll have more fun eating at the kids' table, and you won't have to worry about hands and feet staining your sofa's upholstery.

If you take this advice and an accident still happens, trust Tri-County Furniture Restoration to repair, refinish, or reupholster your damaged furniture.
