Maintaining a contemporary sofa set from ARV Furniture ensures it stays stylish and functional for years. Here are some tailored tips for care:
1. Regular Cleaning:
Vacuum Weekly: Use a soft brush attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and debris from the surface and crevices.
Spot Cleaning: Clean spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution for stains, but avoid soaking the fabric.
Fabric-Specific Care:
Wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner every few months for leather or faux leather.
For fabric upholstery, consider a fabric protector spray for stain resistance.
2. Protect Against Wear:
Rotate Cushions: Rotate and flip cushions regularly to ensure even wear and prevent sagging.
Avoid Overloading: Don’t place heavy items on armrests or backs, as this can weaken the structure.
3. Positioning Matters:
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade fabric or leather. Use curtains or blinds to shield the sofa.
Maintain Distance from Heat Sources: Protect the sofa from radiators, fireplaces, or vents to prevent warping or cracking.
4. Periodic Maintenance:
Tighten Hardware: Check and tighten screws or bolts on legs or frames as needed.
Deep Cleaning: Professionally clean fabric or leather every 6–12 months for a fresh look.
Condition Leather: Use a specialized leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
5. Protect the Surface:
Use Throws or Slipcovers: For high-traffic areas or homes with pets/kids, consider decorative throws or slipcovers to protect the sofa from stains or scratches.
Leg Protection: Attach felt pads to the legs to prevent floor scratches and ensure stability.
6. Gentle Handling:
Avoid sitting on the arms or jumping on the sofa, as this can weaken its structure.
