Take Care of Your New Sofa - Don't let it become dirty

By Elena Price - The Dirty Furniture Detective

If you buy a good quality sofa, it should last for many years, but there are some things that you can do in order to make sure that your new sofa stands the test of time. The most important factor in caring for a sofa is to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer – if there is any discrepancy between the information provided in this article and the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your new sofa, you should follow the manufacturer’s instructions. However, here are some general hints and tips on how to care for a sofa.

Dirty Leather Sofas

Leather sofas are very durable, but in order to keep your new leather sofa looking its best, clean it regularly using a damp cloth. You can use specialist leather cleaning products on your sofa, but should only use them every now and then. Never use any other cleaning products containing detergents or chemicals, or cleaning products which are alcohol-based on your sofa, as they may damage the leather.

If you spill something on your leather sofa, use a damp cloth immediately in order to ensure that it doesn’t stain. However, if this doesn’t do the trick, it’s best to call in a professional to clean the dirty sofa.

Prevent Fabric Sofas Becoming Dirty

The best way to keep a fabric sofa clean is to vacuum it regularly using the upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Avoid cleaning your sofa with a brush as this can damage some fabrics. When you are choosing a new fabric sofa, look for one which has cushions and seats with removable, washable covers, as this will make your sofa easy to clean. If you do have a sofa with washable covers, make sure that you wash them all at the same time in order to ensure that one cover doesn’t fade before the others.

Many furniture retailers sell sofas that are made using stain-resistant fabrics, so you may want to look for one like this. However, if you do spill something on your sofa, use a damp cloth to mop it up straight away and, as with leather sofas, you should avoid using cleaning products containing detergents or chemicals.

General Sofa Care Tips

Whether you choose a leather sofa or a fabric sofa, you should make sure that you position it away from direct heat or air conditioning. You should also keep your sofa and upholsterd furniture out of direct sunlight in order to prevent fading, although you can find some sofas on the market that are suitable for use in sunny rooms.

Avoid sitting on your sofa if your dirty clothes are damp as if your clothes aren’t colour-fast, they may stain the upholstery, and don’t leave newspapers on the sofa as the ink may stain it.

You should also try to ensure that you use all of the seats on your sofa – although many people have a seat that they sit in out of habit, this seat will become worn quicker than the others. You should also make sure that nobody sits on the arm of the sofa, as this could damage it.

If you are looking for a new sofa, then make sure you choose one that is high quality, as this will mean that it will last longer.

be sure to use a shopping price comparison site if the sofa you choose is from a big brand name of furniture manufacturer

If you are shopping for a new sofa online, you can check the product specifications of the sofa that you like in order to make ensure that it has any features that you want, such as washable covers or fade-resistant fabric.

Dirty Knickers Video - Types of Knickers

In this video we learn about the different type of knickers available.

Most lingerie specialist offer matching bra and knicker sets but on the advice of those who know - leave the bra to be a personal purchase.

Lingerie Free - No Knickers? - How to Hide Your Gusset

Here is a video about how to preserve your modesty if you choose not to wear knickers. Those who go out with no knickers on leave themselves wide open for the dirty papz to glimps a flash of the gash - and snp the snatch.

In the following video no knickers aren't actually the target rather concealing a ladies lingerie garments whilst slipping out of a car seat - a tricky manoeuvre at the best of times but made considerably more difficult when wearing eleaborate lingerie and underwear. Thin thongs of flowing frnech knickers all throw up their own lingerie challenge.



What we find most amusing about this no knickers video is the setting - the back passage to an bleak industrial workshop or factory - hardly the romantic dinner date you'd expect from the stylish evening dress and luxurious lingerie being modelled.

Next in the Lingerie video series will be "why lingerie" a question half answered by those who wear no knickers.

Global Warming - Raising Awareness

Health Arguments for Climate Change

The health impact of climate change is a critical issue that policy-makers should be aware of while setting priorities for action and investment to mitigate the impact of global climate change. World Health Organisation WHO experts delivered this urgent message at this years Global Warming Risks, Challenges and Decisions conference in Copenhagen.

The Tree Badger has released a dirty great stonker of a video using footage from WoW and the background track of "Around the World" by Daft Funk that follows a WoW Machinima discovering global warming, which draws a parallel between what is happening on Earth and how this is visually reflected in Azeroth.

WHO has identified three key health arguments for stronger climate change measures:

Climate change has adverse consequences for health: as carbon goes up health goes down

Along with WHO the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and data identify risks to human health as a serious signal of the consequences of climate change and global warming of earth's natural processes. Health hazards from climate change are diverse, global and difficult to reverse over human time scales. The effects of global warming hits those least responsible for causing it They range from increased risks of extreme weather events, to effects on infectious disease dynamics and sea level rise leading to salinization of land and water sources.

Reducing green house gases emissions can be beneficial to health:

As carbon goes down health goes up

Feasible improvements in environmental conditions could reduce the global disease burden by more than 25%. A large part is linked to energy consumption and transport systems. Changing these systems to reduce climate change would have the added benefit of addressing some major public health issues, including outdoor air pollution (750 000 fatal each year); road accidents (over a million annual deaths) and physical inactivity and indoor air pollution which top 3 million deaths per year.

Based on WHO estimates around 150,000 deaths now occur in low-income countries each year due to climate change from four climate-sensitive health outcomes - crop failure and malnutrition, diarrhoeal disease, malaria and flooding.

Effective response requires global action

The health impacts of climate change are felt unequally. Whether it's excess deaths from the heat wave in Europe, or malarial deaths in central Africa, the people at greatest risk for climate-related health disorders and premature deaths are the poor, the geographically vulnerable, the very young, women and the elderly.

The populations considered to be at greatest risk are those living in small island developing states, mountainous regions, water-stressed areas, megacities and coastal areas in developing countries (particularly the large urban agglomerations in delta regions in Asia), and also poor people and those lacking access to health services.

Putting these three health arguments at the center of discussions at the forthcoming Conference of the Parties (COP-15) in Copenhagen later this year would ensure that in the new post-Kyoto agreement we will all share in the health and economic benefits that can accrue from countering climate change.

WHO will strive to achieve four objectives:

1. raising global awareness of these health arguments
2. making the health case for strong greenhouse gas reductions (mitigation) in all sectors (e.g., transport, housing, energy, agriculture) at national, regional and international levels
3. promoting and supporting the generation of scientific evidence
4. and strengthening health systems to cope with the health threat posed by climate change, including emergencies related to extreme weather events and sea-level rise.

WHO's member States have highlighted the importance of action to protect health from climate change. Countries have asked WHO to step up support for national and international efforts assess and address the systems.
