Fabric sofas are very common in our daily lives, but many friends don’t know how to maintain them. Today, let’s take a look at the maintenance knowledge about fabric sofas. Once you learn how to maintain a fabric sofa, you can use it right away.
Tips for maintaining fabric sofas
1. It is best to place the fabric sofa in an area that can avoid direct sunlight. If it cannot be avoided, you can use transparent curtains to block the sunlight. This can prevent the fabric sofa from moisture and cold, and also maintain the service life of the fabric sofa.
2. If the fabric sofa is placed in the living room, it should be dusted at least twice a week. If it is placed in the bedroom, it can be dusted once a week. However, it is important to remove the dust accumulated between the fabric structure to keep the original gloss of the fabric sofa. The fabric sofa in the living room is used frequently, so it is necessary to remove dust frequently.
3. It is best to rotate the cushions on the fabric sofa once a week. This will evenly distribute the damaged areas of the cushions and avoid the situation where one side of the cushions is very new and the other side is very torn.
4. If the fabric sofa is stained with dirt, you can soak a clean towel in cold water, then pick up the cloth, shake it dry and then wipe it. In order to avoid leaving marks, it is best to wipe from the outside of the dirt, wipe it clean, and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Common Problems in Fabric Sofa Maintenance
1. The stretchability of a fabric sofa's fabric determines its comfort level. Prolonged exposure to sunlight not only reduces the fabric's stretchability but also easily causes the color to fade. Therefore, fabric sofas should be protected from prolonged sunlight exposure. Ideally, they should be placed in an area shielded from direct sunlight. The fabric used by fabric sofa manufacturers during production impacts the quality of the sofa. High-quality fabric will extend the life of the sofa.
2. Fabric sofas are very easy to get dirty. You can put a sofa cover or a small cotton towel on the fabric sofa. This can not only improve the decorative effect, but also prevent stains. In addition, fabric sofas are very easy to accumulate dust. Pay attention to dust removal during daily maintenance. You can pat it with a dry cotton towel and remove dust once a week.
3. Fabric sofas are easy to deform, so be careful not to sit in the same position for a long time to prevent the sofa cushions from deforming and damaging. You can also take the cushions outdoors and pat them frequently to loosen the sponge structure and remove dust. No matter what brand of fabric sofa you choose, it is essential to maintain the fabric sofa.
4. Clean the fabric sofa once a year with cleaning fluid. Be sure to wash off the cleaning fluid completely after cleaning, otherwise it will be more susceptible to stains. Fabric sofas with thread covers can generally be cleaned.
Misconceptions about fabric sofa maintenance
1. The sun is good in summer, and many people think that drying the pillowcases and cushions of modern simple fabric sofas in the sun can remove the germs on the sofa. However, drying should be done in moderation. Proper drying in the sun can kill the germs, but long-term drying in the sun will make the sofa fabric deteriorate, become hard and brittle, and will reduce the service life of the fabric sofa.
2. In summer, natural light is strong, and many people put fabric sofas in the sun to dry. Drying can sterilize, but drying can also cause great damage to fabric sofas. Temperature changes can affect the color of fabric sofas, causing them to fade and discolor.
3. Many people have a wrong idea about dust removal of fabric sofas. They think that frequent patting can effectively remove dust and keep the cushions clean. In fact, the cushions do not need to be patted frequently. They only need to be cleaned regularly. Frequent patting of the cushions will loosen the cotton inside the cushions and cause the cushions to deform.
