A sofa is one of the essential pieces of furniture in every household. A comfortable sofa not only provides a space for relaxation but also significantly enhances the sense of well-being in daily life. The Furniture China Expo has noted that to prolong the lifespan of your sofa and keep it looking beautiful, the following practical maintenance tips are recommended:

1. Cleaning and Conditioning

For newly purchased sofas, it is recommended to first dampen a towel with water, wring it out, and gently wipe the surface of the sofa to remove dust and dirt. Then, lightly apply a specialized conditioner to the surface of the sofa 1 to 2 times. This will create a protective layer that facilitates future cleaning. Note that wax-containing conditioners should be avoided, as they may cause damage to the sofa material.

2. Avoiding Direct Sunlight

If the sofa in your living room is frequently exposed to sunlight, it is advisable to regularly change the position of the sofa to prevent noticeable color differences due to prolonged sun exposure. In environments with higher humidity, you can expose the sofa to weak sunlight between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. for one hour each day, once a week for three consecutive days a month. This helps to remove moisture and keep the sofa dry.

3. Dealing with Stains

If you notice stains such as oil, ink, or other marks on the sofa, they should be treated immediately. Leather cleaner can be used for cleaning. If a leather cleaner is not available, you can also gently dab the stain with a clean white towel dipped in a small amount of alcohol, then wipe it clean with a slightly damp towel. After it is completely dry, apply a specialized leather protector for maintenance.

4. Routine Maintenance

For routine maintenance, simply wipe the surface of the sofa with a wrung-out damp towel. Every 2 to 3 months, perform a deep clean of the sofa using a leather cleaner, or use a household vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the surface. Additionally, to prolong the lifespan of your sofa, avoid allowing children to jump or play roughly on the sofa, and prevent direct contact between sweat and the sofa material, as sweat can also cause damage to the fabric.

By following these simple maintenance methods, you can easily keep your sofa clean and beautiful while extending its lifespan. This ensures that your sofa remains a focal point in the living room.
