Pets are beloved members of the family, but their energetic antics can sometimes leave your furniture worse for wear. A love seat, often a centerpiece of a living room, can fall victim to scratches, tears, or other damage caused by playful claws and paws. Left unattended, these marks can become more prominent and harder to repair. Fixing pet damage not only restores your couch's beauty but also helps protect it from further harm. With the right tools and materials, you can make your love seat look as good as new while keeping it pet-friendly and stylish.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preparing the Area

Get your fabric couch ready for repair by gently removing any loose threads, frayed edges, or burn marks.
Thoroughly clean the area around the pet scratches using a mild cleaning solution and a soft, non-abrasive cloth to remove dirt and residue.
If the area beneath the pet scratches is indented or missing padding, fill it evenly with cotton balls or wadding to restore a smooth and even surface.

Step 2: Using the Backing Fabric

For pet scratches larger than 1/4 inch or 0.6 cm, prepare a piece of backing fabric by trimming it into a slightly larger size with rounded edges.
Carefully slide the backing fabric into place beneath the pet scratches using the spatula provided in the kit, ensuring it’s securely positioned as a base for the repair.
Smaller, surface damages do not require a backing fabric and can be repaired directly.

Step 3: Mixing the Repair Fibers

If you need a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide included in the kit to achieve the perfect match. Use the provided empty mixing jar to combine and prepare your custom blend.
Add the matching color fibers and the metal ball into the jar, then shake it vigorously to ensure an even mixture.
Test the prepared blend by applying a small amount to your fabric couch to confirm the match before proceeding.

Step 4: Applying the Fabric Glue

Start by applying the glue gently to the edges of the pet scratches on your fabric couch, working your way inward to minimize air bubbles.
Distribute the glue evenly across the damaged area, ensuring a smooth and level repair that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding surface of your fabric couch.

Step 5: Adding the Fibers

Remove the lid from the mixing jar and take out the metal ball. Stretch the mesh over the jar's opening and secure it tightly with the rubber band to create a simple sieve.
Turn the jar upside down over the adhesive on your fabric couch and gently tap it to sprinkle the fabric fibers evenly over the glue, ensuring full coverage of the adhesive layer.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Use the spatula to gently press the fibers into place, ensuring they are evenly packed for a smooth finish.
If your fabric couch features patterns like lines or swirls, carefully recreate them using the edge of the spatula for a more natural look.
Allow the repair to dry thoroughly for at least 24 hours. Once the glue has completely set, remove any excess fibers by blowing them off or gently brushing the area.

Step 7: Maintenance

Maintain the repaired area by dusting or gently vacuuming your fabric couch regularly to prevent dirt accumulation, which can compromise the repair.
Apply a protective treatment, such as a stain guard, to provide extra defense against spills and potential damage.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scrubbing tools, as they may harm the repair and the surrounding material.
For frequently used fabric couch, periodically check the repaired area for signs of wear and address any minor issues promptly to prolong its durability.
