The moment you closed the deal on your rental property in Bangkok, you invested in good quality furniture right away, especially sofas, knowing that this will set your property apart from other units on the market. But your responsibility doesn’t stop at that because you also need to make sure that these furniture pieces last for as long as possible, so you won’t need to constantly buy new ones.
From sofa cleaning in Bangkok to using furniture properly, here are some tips to help you do just that:
-
Follow a strict cleaning schedule.
A property that’s being rented regularly has heavy foot traffic. This means dust, dirt, stains and other substances can easily accumulate on your furniture. Your sofa takes the most beating among all your soft furniture, which is why it’s very important to follow a strict cleaning schedule and let professionals handle the job for you. Do this on all your furniture and make sure that they are cleaned properly to keep them looking new for a longer time. It’s also very important to check for any tears, loose screws, broken parts and other minor damages when cleaning furniture, so they can be repaired before things get worse.
-
Provide the best environment for your furniture.
Nothing destroys your furniture faster than being in a hot and humid environment. And if you know anything about Thailand, summers here can get extremely hot. So if you want your furniture to stay in good shape, make sure that you have the best environment for it. Installing air conditioners is a must not only to keep your unit cold but also to protect your furniture from faster wear and tear. Having dehumidifiers is also a huge advantage since it absorbs humidity to keep your furniture, especially leather and wood ones, safe from mold and mildew damage.
-
Position furniture properly.
Exposing furniture pieces in direct sunlight can cause damage that would be hard to reverse over time. This is why it’s very important to make sure that you position furniture pieces in a way that they’re not constantly exposed to sunlight. You can also use blinds and curtains to block the sun’s harmful UV rays that could cause cracks, fading and weakening of finishes.
-
Invest in additional protective measures.
Aside from cleaning furniture regularly, you should also invest in additional protective measures that will help keep your furniture in good condition. If you have delicate furniture, it would be good to invest in furniture covers and throws to protect them from spills and stains. You can also buy fabric protectors to add another layer of protective barrier. It’s also very important to set some rules with renters on how they should maintain furniture pieces that come with your unit. This includes using them properly, not putting too much weight on them and cleaning them daily. These simple habits can make a huge difference on how you can maintain your furniture in good condition for a long time.
Finally, if the time comes that you need to replace your furniture, make sure that you invest in good quality ones. As a landlord, you have to make sure that your unit is well furnished so that it remains attractive to renters. It also helps you ensure that your renters will have a good experience while staying in your unit.
