The Underrated Gadget That Makes Your Fabric Sofa Look Brand-New

You probably already know that a fabric shaver is a sweater’s best friend, but here’s a hack most people sleep on: it works absolute wonders on a fabric sofa, too. Over time, upholstered furniture collects the same fuzzy pilling that plagues your favorite knitwear, which can dull the look of even a well-chosen couch. A quick once-over with a fabric shaver can quickly refresh the texture and even color of the fabric, and make a years-old sofa look brand-new.

One of our favorite tools for the job is the Salav Retro Edition Fabric Shaver. One smooth glide across the upholstery gently lifts any pilling and removes any built-up lint or fuzz, whether your sofa is cotton, velvet, bouclé, or wool blend. And you can use it even beyond the sofa. Try it on throw pillows, bedroom blankets, dining room chairs — you name it, this little guy can help clean it up!
