Keep your faux leather furniture from ARV Furniture in excellent condition with these smart care and maintenance tips:
✅ 1. Regular Dusting and Wiping
Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth 2–3 times a week to prevent dust buildup.
For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with warm water (avoid soaking).
✅ 2. Use Mild Soap Solution
Mix a few drops of mild liquid soap in warm water.
Dip a soft cloth, wring it well, and gently clean the surface.
Always wipe with a dry cloth afterward.
✅ 3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Never use bleach, alcohol, or ammonia-based cleaners, as they can damage the faux leather coating.
Use faux leather-specific or pH-balanced cleaners if necessary.
✅ 4. Condition Occasionally
Use a faux leather conditioner every 3–6 months to prevent cracking and keep the surface supple.
Test in a small area first before applying to the whole piece.
✅ 5. Protect from Sunlight and Heat
Keep furniture away from direct sunlight, radiators, or heating vents to prevent drying and fading.
Use curtains or blinds in sunlit rooms.
✅ 6. Clean Spills Immediately
Blot spills gently using a clean, dry cloth—do not rub.
For sticky stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
✅ 7. Prevent Scratches
Avoid placing sharp objects, keys, or heavy bags directly on the furniture.
Trim pets’ nails if they climb on the sofa or chair.
✅ 8. Use a Soft Brush for Crevices
For dirt trapped in seams or stitching, use a soft-bristle toothbrush or vacuum with a brush attachment.
✅ 9. Rotate and Fluff Cushions
If your faux leather sofa has removable cushions, rotate them weekly to ensure even wear.
✅ 10. Use Furniture Covers When Not in Use
Especially helpful for longer vacations or seasonal homes—cover with a breathable cloth to prevent dust and UV damage.
By following these tips, your faux leather furniture from ARV Furniture in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada will stay stylish, clean, and durable for years to come.
