Bar Room Furniture – 3 ways to keep them looking as good as new [Part I]
When you go in search of bar room furniture to fit out your new watering hole, it would not be unusual to spend in excess in your quest for quality. Nothing but the best will do for your place, and as a result, you end up lugging back the best , the brightest… the shiniest (excuse the pun). What if I were to say that the furniture will look bad in a year, and it’ll look like it’s been through hell and back in 3 years.
Nowadays, with increased globalisation, manufacturers are cutting out costs here and there all over the place. It might be that extra special hand-vanished touch or that bit of protective paint. Furniture quality as a whole is going down as furniture made in China are going for dirt cheap due to the low labour costs and manufacturers in America have to reduce their prices.
How do they do that ? Well they obviously can’t pay us less because the if they do, they’ll come back to a factory being picketed by furious housewives, and grannies and little children running all over the place. Since they can’t reduce our salaries, what they can do is reduce the quality of materials. Yes folks, thats whats happening all around.
Well with all that over, what I can firmly say is you can either take steps to make your furniture last, or send it to a glorious death in the incinerator. Here are a few things you can do to make your bar room furniture last and last and last. I’ll elaborate this points over the next few posts so stay tuned folks 
1st way to make your bar room furniture last and last and last
You know in bars, trills and spills aren’t all that rare. Every other night, you’ll have someone either spilling his drink , peeing his drink or worse…puking his drink out onto the furniture. Well , that obviously isn’t good news. Stains tend to accumulate on the upholstery and people tend to avoid pee/puke stained chairs like the plague. (I would too)
While we can’t prevent people from spewing their bodily fluids onto the plush new cushions you’ve just bought ,what we can do is use the miracle that is 3M Scotchgard . Yes, the miracle in the bottle. What you do is spray a layer of the Fabric Protector onto your bar room furniture, all the chairpads , cushions everything. Spray it and watch human spew just roll off the protective surface leaving it as good as new. No stains, no pain. Just renew the surface by respraying every few months and you’ll have your cushions looking as good as new for a long long time.
