Maintaining a recliner sectional sofa, especially one from ARV Furniture, involves regular cleaning and care to ensure longevity and comfort. Here are some tips to help you keep your sofa in great condition:
Regular Cleaning
Vacuuming: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the surface and crevices. Do this weekly to prevent dirt buildup.
Wiping: For leather recliners, use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface. For fabric recliners, use a dry cloth or a fabric cleaner as recommended by ARV Furniture.
Leather Care
Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every 6-12 months to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
Spill Management: Immediately blot spills with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing as it may spread the stain.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Stick to products recommended by ARV Furniture.
Fabric Care
Stain Removal: For fabric recliners, use a fabric cleaner that matches the fabric type. Spot test in an inconspicuous area first.
Professional Cleaning: Consider professional cleaning every 12-18 months, especially if the recliner is heavily used.
Mechanical Maintenance
Lubrication: Periodically check the reclining mechanism and lubricate it with a silicone-based lubricant if needed. Avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
Check Screws and Bolts: Tighten any loose screws or bolts to ensure the reclining mechanism functions smoothly.
General Tips
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep the recliner away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying out, especially for leather upholstery.
Prevent Pet Damage: Use a cover or blanket to protect the recliner from pet claws and fur.
Rotate Cushions: If your recliner has removable cushions, rotate them regularly to ensure even wear.
By following these maintenance tips, you can keep your ARV Furniture recliner sectional sofa looking and functioning like new for years to come.
