White furniture brings a sense of elegance and freshness to any room, but it also requires a bit more care to maintain its pristine look. Whether you own a white leather sofa, lacquer-finished cabinet, or fabric-upholstered chair from ARV Furniture, here are the best ways to protect and clean it:
đź§Ľ CLEANING TIPS
Regular Dusting
Use a microfiber cloth weekly to remove dust and prevent buildup, which can dull the finish or attract stains.
Spot Cleaning for Fabric
Blot spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth—never rub.
Use a mild fabric cleaner or a solution of warm water and a few drops of gentle dish soap.
For stubborn stains, try a fabric-safe stain remover or consult a professional.
Leather Surfaces
Wipe with a damp cloth regularly.
Apply a leather conditioner every 3–6 months to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking or discoloration.
Glossy or Lacquered Finishes
Use a damp, non-abrasive cloth followed by a dry one to avoid water spots.
Avoid harsh chemicals; use mild soapy water if needed.
For added shine, you may apply a furniture polish designed for white finishes.
🛡️ PROTECTION TIPS
Avoid Direct Sunlight
UV rays can yellow white finishes over time. Use curtains, blinds, or UV-blocking window film.
Use Protective Covers
For fabric furniture, use slipcovers or armrest covers.
Dining chairs and sofas benefit from washable throws or seat protectors.
Clean Hands & Clothing
Body oils and dyes from dark clothes (especially denim) can transfer onto white upholstery. Encourage use of clean, light-colored clothing when sitting.
Rotate Cushions & Use Rugs
Distribute wear evenly on white sofas or chairs.
For white coffee or side tables, place area rugs or mats underneath to protect from floor scratches and spills.
Avoid Dark or Dyed Items
Keep dark-colored magazines, dyed leather bags, or metal accessories off white surfaces to prevent stains or marks.
