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.

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.

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??theyd tell you to stop.

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.
