How to clean and maintain fabric sofas

Fabric sofas are a very common type of sofa on the market. They come in a variety of colors, shapes, and styles, are inexpensive, and are very popular. However, fabric sofas are easy to get dirty and accumulate dust, which is very annoying. So do you know how to clean and maintain a fabric sofa?

Fabric sofas are categorized into several types: washable, non-washable, and non-removable. Fabric sofa manufacturers primarily offer washable sofas in blended, cotton, and jacquard styles. Blended fabrics, primarily composed of cotton and synthetic fibers, are inexpensive and can be disguised as silk, velvet, or linen. While they offer a less premium feel, they appear attractive but are less comfortable. Their advantages are practical: they're easy to wash and iron-free, allowing you to toss them directly into the washing machine, making them the most comfortable fabric for those who prefer a more relaxed lifestyle. Cotton sofas have a soft, thick feel and a textured texture. They are also heat-resistant, alkali-resistant, breathable, and skin-friendly. While cotton sofas can be washed, they're best washed at low temperatures and hand-washed, as machine washing can easily lead to pilling. Avoid tumble drying or using bleach to prevent shrinkage, deformation, and discoloration.

Before cleaning a fabric sofa , it's recommended to test it with a piece of fabric cover. Use a neutral detergent to clean the edges and corners to see if the color will fade. If it does not, it can be washed with water. Avoid washing in a washing machine to prevent excessive strain. Avoid soaking the sofa for extended periods of time, such as overnight, to prevent deformation and difficulty reassembling. Avoid exposing the sofa cover to direct sunlight; air dry it in the shade to prevent the color from fading.

Whether fabric sofas can be washed, fabric sofa manufacturers will explain in detail in the instructions. When purchasing a fabric sofa, you must read it carefully and ask clearly.

In addition to cleaning, fabric sofas also require careful maintenance. Vacuum fabric sofas regularly, and thoroughly clean the armrests, backrests, and crevices. Use a vacuum cleaner, roller, or tape to clean. Avoid brushing too close to the fabric, and avoid using high suction pressure, as this can cause deformation and increase wear. Localized stains require immediate action, and avoid using large amounts of water to prevent water from seeping into the sofa's inner layer and causing the frame to become damp and warped.
