What sofa covers don't attract dog hair?
Dealing with constant shedding is part of life with a dog — but it doesn’t have to ruin your sofa. Certain fabrics naturally repel hair or make it easy to clean up. Here’s what to look for:
1. Microfiber
Why It Works:
-
Tight weave leaves fewer places for hair to snag.
-
Static can occasionally attract hair, but a light vacuum or lint roller solves that quickly.
-
Often machine washable.
Sofa Decor Suggestion:
-
Microfibre Shield Sofa Cover — Excellent stain resistance, easy maintenance, and fur-friendly.
2. Velvet
Why It Works:
-
Smooth surface allows most hair to be easily brushed or shaken off.
-
Adds a luxurious look without trapping fur in the weave.
Sofa Decor Suggestion:
-
Crushed Velvet Sofa Cover — Pet-friendly and opulently chic.
3. Polyester & Blends
Why It Works:
-
Synthetic fibres typically resist clinging fur more than natural fibres.
-
Easy to spot-clean or toss in the washing machine.
Sofa Decor Suggestion:
-
Stretch Fit Polyester Sofa Cover – Classic Grey — Affordable, versatile, and wrinkle-resistant.
4. Leather-Like or Faux Leather Materials
Why It Works:
-
Non-porous surface means hair can be wiped away with a damp cloth.
-
Perfect for a sleek, modern aesthetic if you like the leather look.
Note: While Sofa Decor doesn’t currently stock leather slipcovers, keep an eye on the New Arrivals section for updates.
