Fabric sofas are very common in home life, but many owners do not know how to maintain fabric sofas. There are some cognitive misunderstandings about the maintenance of fabric sofas. Today, let’s follow Delopi Sofa to see what misunderstandings there are about the maintenance of fabric sofas.

1. In the summer, when the sun is bright, many people like to dry the pillowcases and cushions of fabric sofas in the sun to remove germs on the sofa. However, drying should be done in moderation. Proper drying in the sun can kill germs, but long-term drying in the sun will make the sofa hard and brittle, which will reduce the service life of the fabric sofa. For example, the fabric sofa in the living room is often used, so there are many germs on the sofa. It is appropriate to dry the fabric sofa cushions in the sun to sterilize them. This will keep the fabric sofa clean and maintain people's health.

Second, in the summer, natural sunlight is strong, and many people put fabric sofas in the sun to dry. While drying can remove bacteria, drying can also cause significant damage to fabric sofas. Temperature fluctuations can affect the color of fabric sofas, causing them to fade. Fabric sofa manufacturers use dyed fabrics when producing sofas. If exposed to fluctuating temperatures, fabric sofas are prone to fading, which can affect their appearance.

3. Many people have a misconception about dust removal for fabric sofas, thinking that frequent patting can effectively remove dust and keep the cushions clean. In fact, the cushions do not need to be patted frequently, as long as they are cleaned regularly. Frequent patting will loosen the cotton inside the cushions and cause the cushions to deform. For example, a small-sized fabric sofa will accumulate a lot of dust after being placed for a long time. At this time, you can use a vacuum cleaner to absorb the dust, or you can use a towel to gently pat the fabric sofa, but you don't need to pat the sofa frequently, as long as you keep the fabric sofa clean.
