Caring for your modern sofa, loveseat, and chair from ARV Furniture ensures they stay in top condition. Here are some tips tailored to Mississauga’s climate and general maintenance requirements:
1. Regular Cleaning
Fabric Upholstery: Vacuum weekly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
Leather Upholstery: Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth and condition it every 6 months to prevent cracking.
Synthetic Materials: Spot clean spills immediately with a mild detergent and water solution.
2. Protect Against Sunlight
Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration, especially in rooms with large windows. Use blinds or UV-blocking window film if needed.
3. Prevent Damage
Use coasters and placemats to avoid spills and heat damage.
Avoid sharp objects near the furniture to prevent tears or scratches.
Keep pets’ nails trimmed to minimize claw marks.
4. Climate Considerations
Winter (Mississauga): Use a humidifier to prevent the air from becoming too dry, which can damage leather and wood components.
Summer: Ensure proper ventilation and keep furniture away from excessive humidity to prevent mold and mildew.
5. Rotate Cushions
Flip and rotate seat and back cushions regularly to maintain even wear and prolong the furniture’s lifespan.
6. Check and Tighten Hardware
If your modern furniture includes metallic or wooden components, inspect and tighten screws or bolts periodically to maintain stability.
7. Professional Cleaning
Have your furniture professionally cleaned once a year to remove deep-seated dirt and restore its original look.
