Shave that sofa.

Don’t sit on that. You don’t know where it’s been.

It’s passingly rare to see a buffalo shot on a piece of furniture, even in Savers. I’m glad I caught this rare occurrence on film. Remember, before donating your gently used furniture to charity, shave your sofas.. Frankly, it’s embarrassing, even a little non-hygienic. Does anyone really want to see your couch’s happy trail?

No. No, they don’t. Bad enough to think about what’s no doubt caught behind the cushions…ancient chee-tos, candy wrappers, small abandoned pets…without a graphic display.

Particularly with bikini season right around the corner, urge your thrift store community–both distributors and donors–to put out just a little extra effort, get out the extra-wide razor, and shave your sofa. Remember, the sofa you shave could be your own.

You could, of course, wax your sofa, but in many cases, the cure is worse than the disease, and that’s a lot of paraffin. You’ll never get that out from between the cushions.

    It’s making me laugh and making my skin crawl at the same time. Nicely done!

    It’s kinda the prototype or showroom model for what we fear about used sofas. Living proof. Did it move?
