WHAT IS MICROFIBER? WHAT ARE THE PROS?
MICROFIBER IS MADE WITH SYNTHETIC FIBERS LIKE POLYESTER. THE FIBERS ARE FINER THAN SILK AND THEY CAN BE KNIT OR WOVEN INTO A PIECE OF FABRIC.
PROS:
1. SINCE THE FIBERS ARE SMALL AND CAN BE WOVEN TIGHTLY, LESS DUST AND ALLERGENS CAN SINK INTO AND THROUGH THE FABRIC MAKING THE FURNITURE MORE HYPOALLERGENIC.
2. THE TIGHT WEAVE MEANS LIQUID SPILLS WILL BEAD UP ON THE SURFACE OF THE FABRIC INSTEAD OF IMMEDIATELY SOAKING INTO THE FIBERS MEANING IT GIVES YOU A SHORT WINDOW OF TIME TO DRY UP THE LIQUID BEFORE IT STAINS.
3. HIGHLY WATER RESISTANT
HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE FOR RUG COMPANIES TO COME IN?
MAX IS USUALLY 4 WEEKS.
