Here are some practical tips for maintaining linen furniture from ARV Furniture, ensuring it stays fresh, clean, and long-lasting:
🧼 1. Regular Vacuuming
Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to gently remove dust, crumbs, and pet hair.
Vacuum at least once a week, especially in high-use areas.
💧 2. Spot Clean Immediately
Blot spills right away with a clean, dry cloth—do not rub.
Use mild soap and lukewarm water or a fabric-specific cleaner.
Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
☀️ 3. Avoid Direct Sunlight
Prolonged exposure can cause fading and weaken the fabric.
Place linen furniture away from windows or use curtains and blinds to diffuse sunlight.
🧍 4. Rotate Cushions Regularly
Flip and rotate cushions weekly to ensure even wear and maintain their shape.
🛡️ 5. Use Fabric Protectors (Optional)
Consider a fabric protector spray designed for linen to add an extra layer of stain resistance.
Reapply every 6–12 months as needed.
🧽 6. Gentle Deep Cleaning
For a deeper clean, use a steam cleaner on a low setting if the fabric care label permits.
Alternatively, hire a professional upholstery cleaner annually for a safe, deep clean.
🐾 7. Keep Pets in Mind
Use throws or washable covers if pets frequently use the furniture.
Regularly brush pets to reduce shedding on the fabric.
🧴 8. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Stay away from bleach, ammonia, or strong solvents—they can damage the linen fibers and cause discoloration.
