13. Use Slip Covers And Blankets
This tip works especially well if you have young children or pets. Cover your furniture with slip covers or blankets to make sure that nothing gets onto them from normal use. Simply pop the covers in the wash every week or two to preserve your furniture and leave it looking flawless when family comes over. This tip also saves you time vacuuming, as you can shake out covers and avoid items falling into the cracks.
