Have you just had a new sofa bought or do you want to protect your current sofa against stains and wear? Then impregnating your sofa is the perfect solution. Randstad Furniture Cleaning we are happy to help you keep your furniture in top condition. In this guide we explain why impregnation is so important and how to achieve the best result.
What is impregnation and why is it important for your sofa?
Impregnation is like an invisible shield for your sofa. We apply a protective layer to the fabric or leather, which gives liquids and dirt less chance to penetrate. The result? Your sofa stays beautiful longer and is easier to keep clean.
Think of impregnation as a raincoat for your furniture. Without that protection, rain would soak right into your clothes, but with a good coat you stay dry. It works the same for your sofa!
The benefits at a glance:
- Your sofa repels stains and dirt better
- The lifespan of your furniture is extended
- The color and appearance are retained for longer
- Cleaning becomes a breeze
Have you just bought a new sofa? We recommend that you have it impregnated immediately. This way, you will enjoy optimum protection from day one.

How often should you have your sofa re-impregnated?
The frequency depends on several factors:
- How intensively do you use the sofa?
- Is it in direct sunlight?

In general, we recommend re-impregnating your sofa every 6-12 months for the best protection. Look for these signs that indicate it's time for a new treatment:
- Liquids are absorbed into the fabric more quickly
- The color of your sofa is fading
- Stains develop faster
