Furniture Fortitude

Two posts in one day. It' clearly a sign of the apocalypse.

When Frangelica and I moved out here we put our fancy new sofa and chez lounge in storage.

Naturally, it flooded, and the cushions have some water damage. I didn't have them professionally cleaned. The pieces themselves have stayed in the storage facility. It doesn't have any standing water in it or anything, but it is humid.

Today I called to see about getting the cushions cleaned. After all, I sprung for the warranty.

Problem 1: The chain we bought the pieces from (The Room Store) doesn't have any stores where I live now.

Problem 2: The warranty doesn't cover flooding damage, nor does it cover damage caused in storage.

Problem 3: They discontinued the pieces, so we can't order new cushions.

Right. Expensive (to us) furniture potentially down the tubes.

Our options at this point are:

1. Get the pieces (and cushions) cleaned and hope for the best.
2. Clean the pieces and try to find some other way to replace the cushions.
3. Trash the pieces and start at square one

I've talked to a professional furniture cleaner and he suggested at the very least replacing the cushions. He said that if mold is deep in the cushions they can't get it out.

I don't like any of the options. I think option 1 is out because I have allergies and I don't want to risk mold being in the pieces/cushions. Option 2 is also risky because of there possibly being mold in the pieces themselves. Option 3 makes me sad because we really liked those pieces and they were a bit pricey (for us).

Decisions, decisions.
