Sofa Care

Extend the life and allure of your sofa

Regular maintenance

1. Vacuum Regularly:
- Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum your sofa regularly. This helps remove dust, dirt, and debris that can accumulate on the surface.

2. Rotate Cushions:
- Rotate and flip your sofa cushions regularly to ensure even wear and prevent one side from becoming more worn than the others.

3. Avoid Direct Sunlight:
- Position your sofa away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration. If this is not possible, consider using curtains or blinds to block out harsh sunlight.

CLEANING

1. Check Manufacturer's Instructions:
- Always check the manufacturer's care instructions that came with your sofa. Different materials (leather, fabric, microfiber) may require different cleaning methods.

2. Spot Cleaning:
- Attend to spills promptly using a clean, dry cloth to blot the stain. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain. Use a mild detergent or a cleaner recommended for your sofa's material.

3. Fabric Sofas:
- If your sofa has removable covers, follow the care instructions for washing and drying. If the covers are not removable, consider professional upholstery cleaning services.

4. Leather Sofas:
- Wipe leather sofas with a damp, clean cloth regularly to remove dust. Use a leather cleaner and conditioner according to the manufacturer's instructions to keep the leather supple.

5. Microfiber Sofas:
- For microfiber sofas, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a fabric attachment to remove dust and dirt. Consult the care instructions for specific cleaning recommendations.

PROTECTION

1. Use Slipcovers:
- Consider using slipcovers to protect your sofa from spills and stains. Slipcovers are often machine washable and can be an easy way to change the look of your sofa.

2. Pet Prevention:
- If you have pets, discourage them from using the sofa as a scratching post or chewing on the fabric. Use pet-friendly furniture covers if needed.

GENERAL TIPS

1. Avoid Eating on the Sofa:
- Eating on the sofa can lead to spills and crumbs, which can attract pests and cause stains. Try to eat in designated dining areas.

2. Fluff and Rotate Pillows:
- Fluff and rotate sofa pillows regularly to maintain their shape and prevent uneven wear.

3. Professional Cleaning:
- Consider professional sofa cleaning services every 1-2 years, especially for heavily used sofas or if there are stubborn stains.

By following these care tips, you can help keep your sofa looking clean, comfortable, and in good condition for years to come.
