As the centerpiece of the living room, the sofa is not only crucial for decorating but is also the most frequently used piece of furniture after the bed. Fabric sofas, with their diverse colors, are particularly popular among users. However, many are not well informed about how to clean and maintain them. Therefore, we have compiled several key points for sofa maintenance:
Leather Sofa Care: Just like human skin, leather sofas have pores on their surface, so care should vary with the dry and wet seasons; during dry seasons, clean and oil every two months, and in general, maintain every three to four months.
Leather Sofa Cleaning: Do not clean a leather sofa with a damp cloth, nor should it come into contact with hard objects or acidic or alkaline chemical solvents.
Regularly, lightly wipe the sofa’s surface with a dedicated leather care agent once or twice to form a protective layer, making future dirt less likely to penetrate deeply into the pores and easier to clean. Remember not to use wax-containing products.
General Leather Sofa Care:
For new sofas, it's advised to first wipe off dust or dirt from the surface with a clean, soft cloth.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause leather fabric to deform or lose elasticity, so consider installing curtains to block direct sunlight.
General Leather Sofa Cleaning:
Apply a leather cleaner or polish evenly on the surface, then after a while, wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.
Do not clean leather sofas directly with water as it can cause the leather to harden and lose its softness.
Fabric Sofa Care: Most are made with removable covers. Verify the washing symbols on the fabric cover to see if it is machine washable or if it should be professionally dry cleaned to prevent fading or shrinkage. For routine maintenance, wipe the fabric regularly with a clean, soft cloth.
Fabric Sofa Cleaning: If the fabric cover is removable for cleaning, consult the manufacturer first to ensure that removing the cover will not cause damage. The cover must be dry cleaned only, as machine washing or wringing could cause deformation.
Regardless of the type of sofa, it is best to place soft pads under the sofa legs to prevent damage to the floor when moving. If there are children and pets at home, prevent them from jumping on the sofa, which could cause deformation or scratches. Avoid sharp objects damaging the sofa fabric. If the sofa’s sliding tracks become stiff or if hardware and connectors loosen, tighten the screws and apply lubricant as appropriate.
