19.February.2025

Whether it is to sit and watch TV with your family or for guests to rest comfortably, the sofa is our first choice of furniture. However, with daily use, the sofa will inevitably be stained and worn. So, how can you keep the sofa as new? Today, we will share some maintenance tips to make your sofa look brand new!

Tip one: Regular Cleaning is Key

The most basic maintenance is inseparable from regular cleaning. Regular cleaning can effectively remove stains and foreign matter on the sofa and keep it basically clean and tidy. We also have different cleaning methods for sofas of different materials.
Fabric Sofa: Clean the dust on the sofa surface once a week, especially the gaps. If there are stains, wipe them with a wet towel. If they cannot be wiped off, add a small amount of detergent.
Leather Sofa: Try to wipe the dust off the surface with a soft dry cloth. If there are stains, wipe them gently with a damp cloth, but dry them in time to avoid excessive moisture damaging the leather.

Tip two: Avoid Direct Sunlight and Humid Environments

Regardless of the material of the sofa, it should be placed away from direct sunlight and humid places as much as possible. Long-term exposure to the sun will cause the sofa to fade and crack; a humid environment is prone to mold growth.

Tip three: Turn the Cushions Regularly

If your sofa is equipped with removable seat cushions or back cushions, it is recommended to flip them over every once in a while. This can evenly distribute the pressure and prevent certain parts from becoming dented or deformed due to long-term use.

Tip four: Treat Stains Promptly

In daily life, it is inevitable that drinks, food, etc. will be accidentally spilled on the sofa. In this case, it must be handled in time.
Fabric Sofa: Blot any liquid with a clean paper towel or cloth, then wipe with a damp towel and, if necessary, use a detergent.
Leather Sofa: Wipe with a dry cloth, clean with a damp cloth, and finally wipe dry with a dry cloth.

Tip five: Avoid Heavy and Sharp Objects

Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the sofa, which may cause deformation of the sofa frame or damage to the surface. In addition, try to prevent pets from scratching on the sofa to avoid scratches. Or add a protective cover to reduce damage.
