Maintaining fabric furniture, such as the ones from ARV Furniture, is essential to ensure longevity and keep them looking clean and attractive. Here are some tips to help you maintain your fabric furniture:
Regular Vacuuming:
Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the fabric.
Vacuum the entire surface of the furniture, including cushions, crevices, and seams.
Spot Cleaning:
Attend to spills and stains immediately to prevent them from setting.
Blot the stain with a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel. Avoid rubbing, as it may spread the stain.
Use a mild, fabric-specific cleaner recommended by the furniture manufacturer.
Avoid Direct Sunlight:
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade and damage the fabric. Position your furniture away from direct sunlight or use curtains and blinds to minimize exposure.
Rotate Cushions:
Rotate and flip the seat and back cushions regularly to ensure even wear and maintain the shape of the cushions.
Protect from Pets:
If you have pets, use pet-friendly furniture covers or throws to protect the fabric from pet hair, scratches, and stains.
Read Care Labels:
Follow the care instructions provided by ARV Furniture for your specific piece of furniture. These guidelines are tailored to the type of fabric used.
Professional Cleaning:
Schedule professional cleaning for your fabric furniture periodically, especially if it has specific cleaning requirements.
Professional cleaning can help remove deep-seated dirt and stains, and it’s particularly important for maintaining the warranty on your furniture.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
Refrain from using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners on your fabric furniture, as they can damage the fabric and cause discoloration.
Fluff and Plump Cushions:
Regularly fluff and plump cushions to maintain their shape and provide continued support.
Use Arm Covers and Throws:
Consider using arm covers and throws in areas that are more prone to wear, such as the arms of sofas and chairs.
Store Properly:
If you need to store your fabric furniture, do so in a cool, dry place. Use breathable covers to protect against dust and moisture.
Avoid Sharp Objects:
Be cautious with sharp objects such as belt buckles, keys, or pets’ claws to prevent punctures or tears in the fabric.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your ARV Furniture fabric pieces remain in good condition and continue to enhance the aesthetics of your living space. Always refer to the specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer for the best results.
