Here’s a practical care & maintenance guide for your reversible sofa sectional with tufted cushions from ARV Furniture (Mississauga, Ontario) — keeping it clean, comfortable, and long-lasting:

🛋️ 1. Daily & Weekly Maintenance

🧹 Dust + Debris Removal

Vacuum weekly with a soft-brush upholstery attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and pet hair — especially in tufted areas and seams.

Use a lint roller for quick daily pick-ups of pet hair and lint.

🔁 Flip & Rotate Cushions

Since the cushions are reversible, flip and rotate them every 1–2 weeks to ensure even wear and prevent sagging or indentations.

💨 Fluffing

Plump and reshape the tufted foam cushions regularly by hand — this helps maintain comfort and loft.

🧼 2. Spot Cleaning & Stain Care

💧 Spills

Act quickly: Blot (don’t rub) spills with a clean, dry cloth immediately. Rubbing can push the stain deeper.

🧽 Cleaning Solution

Mix a few drops of mild liquid soap with lukewarm water.

Dampen (don’t saturate) a soft cloth and dab gently on the stained area.

Afterward, wipe with a fresh damp cloth to remove residue and air-dry. Avoid heat or direct sun.

🧂 Odor Control

Sprinkle baking soda on cushions once a month, let sit 15–20 minutes, then vacuum — this neutralizes odors.

🛡️ 3. Fabric & Protection Tips

💦 Fabric Protection

Consider a fabric protection spray rated for linen or your specific upholstery once or twice a year to repel spills and stains.

🚫 Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Don’t use bleach, strong solvents, or abrasive cleaners — they can damage fibers and fade color.

🌞 Sun & Heat

Keep your sectional out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading and weakening.

Avoid placing it too close to heaters or fireplaces.

🐾 Pet Considerations

If you have pets, keep them groomed and use washable throws or covers on high-traffic areas to reduce fur and oils on the fabric.

🪑 4. Deep Cleaning & Long-Term Care

🧼 Deep Cleaning

Every 6–12 months (or as needed), consider a deeper clean with a fabric-safe upholstery cleaner or professional service — especially if your sofa sees frequent use.

🧵 Check Seams & Details

Inspect cushions, zippers, and seams periodically. Catching loose stitching early prevents bigger issues.

🧺 5. Extra Tips to Preserve Shape & Comfort

Regularly remove cushions and air them out to prevent moisture or stale odors.

Use throws or slipcovers on well-used sections to protect fabric and add style.

Straighten seams and cushion lines after cleaning or rotating to keep the sofa looking neat.
