Caring for a drop-down headrest sofa bed from ARV Furniture ensures its durability, functionality, and appearance remain intact for years. Here are some practical maintenance and care tips tailored for this type of furniture:

🧽 1. Regular Cleaning
Fabric Upholstery: Vacuum weekly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris, especially in crevices and behind the headrest.

Leather Upholstery: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Use a leather conditioner every 3–6 months.

Spot Cleaning: Blot spills immediately using a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing. Use a fabric cleaner approved for your sofa’s material.

⚙️ 2. Maintain the Drop-Down Mechanism
Gentle Handling: Always lower and raise the headrest slowly to avoid putting strain on hinges and joints.

Lubrication: To keep the mechanism smooth and squeak-free, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts every 6–12 months.

Check Bolts & Screws: Periodically inspect and tighten any loose parts.

🛏️ 3. Care for the Bed Function
Mattress Support: Open and close the bed mechanism gently. Never force it shut or open.

Weight Limit: Adhere to the recommended weight capacity to avoid bending or damage.

Ventilation: Occasionally, air out the bed portion to prevent moisture build-up and odors.

🌞 4. Positioning and Environment
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can fade fabric or crack leather. Use curtains or blinds to protect it.

Keep Away from Heat: Don’t place the sofa bed near radiators, heaters, or fireplaces to avoid material damage.

🔁 5. Rotate and Fluff
Cushion Care: Rotate and fluff seat and back cushions regularly to maintain shape and prevent uneven wear.

Prevent Sagging: Don’t sit on the edge of the drop-down headrest frequently, as this can cause it to loosen over time.

🧼 6. Deep Cleaning
Professional Cleaning: Consider deep cleaning every 12–18 months, depending on usage, especially if it’s light-colored or heavily used.

Removable Covers: If your model has removable covers, follow the manufacturer’s washing instructions strictly.

📦 7. Storage Tips (If Not Used Often)
Keep it covered with a breathable furniture cover.

Ensure the room is well-ventilated and not humid to avoid mold or mildew.
