Out with the gold...

My neighbors are moving.

They had a garage sale to "lighten their load".

They were selling their sofa and loveseat for a killer deal.

I had to hold myself back from doing cartwheels as we

loaded "old goldie" here to the dump to make a little extra room.

Then we moved the couch and recliner from our

livingroom to the basement to make room for my finds.

Now here is my testimonial for microfiber couches:

I had heard about how easy they were to clean, but I was
still a bit nervous buying this sofa set because my neighbor
let her kids eat on them and although they were in great
condition otherwise....they were covered in stains.

I called the furniture store that is an hour away (before the purchase)
and asked how to clean a microfiber couch.
They lady assured me that they are "naturally stain-resistant"
and all I would need to do is use a little dish soap,
diluted in a bucket of water, and wipe the entire cushion
down with a rag. After it dries, you take a nylon
scrubbie brush, and brush over the surface to get the texture back.
I cleaned one cushion first, to compare it to the one next to it,
and this is what I got:


She was right! I couldn't believe how easy this was to clean. And
now that I know it worked, I am very happy with my find!

This is definitely the way to go with kids!
The two ends of the sofa recline, but not the middle
(that's why it's uneven)
