Stop Cleaning! New Generation of Homeowners Learns Furniture's New Beauty Routine

Oil and dirt trapped in a leather sofa? Or, how about a wood table with unsightly blemishes? While the majority of America associates furniture care with dusting or cleaning up stains and messes, Hutson's goal is to teach consumers that the best way to protect and care for their favorite furniture is to treat it in the same way as they would personally care for themselves. The secret to great furniture care is simple ... "Stop Cleaning. Start Caring(TM)."

To make it easy for consumers, this new furniture therapy mirrors basic beauty care regimes like sunscreen and concealers, including: cleansing, polishing and, of course, covering those tiny imperfections.

SPREAD THE WORD

To launch the campaign, Guardsman is donating $25,000 to Habitat for Humanity to help build simple and affordable homes in partnership with low-income families. Go to Guardsman.com to share a story about your favorite piece of furniture and make a promise to care for it in the same way you care for other things you love. From the stories shared, Hutson will select one lucky winner with the best furniture story to receive a personal design session in their home that includes a $1,500 room re-accessorizing and shopping experience along with a suite of Guardsman products.

Jumping rope?

“We didn’t do that,” Hall of Fame hitter Jim Rice says while watching the kid from the driver’s seat of a golf cart. “None of us did it. I’d show up to spring training, get my glove and go in the field, get that 36-36 [his 36-inch, 36-ounce bat], and go in the cage and start swinging. That was it.”

“No one did this,” a teammate from the 1970s, pitcher Luis Tiant, agrees from the passenger seat. “No one jumped rope. No one lifted weights. Try to lift weights?—?they’d tell you to stop.”

“We got in shape to play baseball by playing baseball,” left-handed onetime philosopher Bill Lee adds, part of the group.

The place where the minor league outfielder does his work this day is a stretch of artificial turf outside the weight room at JetBlue Park, the Red Sox’ new spring training home. Inside the room are all the toys of modern fitness training: the large inflated balls, the polyester tubes to aid in rolling around the floor, the mats, the barbells, the assortment of resistance machines, grim and foreboding.
