5 simple tips to keep your sofa looking like new
Maintaining the appearance and longevity of your sofa requires regular care and mindful habits. Here are five science-backed tips to keep your sofa in tip-top shape:
- Vacuum often – Frequent vacuuming removes dust, dirt, and allergens so they don’t penetrate the fabric.
- Quick Spill Handling – Wipe up spills immediately by blotting (do not rub) with a clean, absorbent cloth to avoid stains.
- Use appropriate cleaning products – Choose cleaning products that are suitable for your sofa’s material to avoid damage. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area first.
4. Protect from sunlight – Direct sunlight can cause the fabric to fade and degrade over time. Place your sofa away from windows or use curtains to reduce the sun’s impact.
5. Get professional cleaning – An annual professional cleaning ensures a deep cleaning and removes stubborn stains and odors.
By following this advice, you will keep your sofa both beautiful and hygienic for many years to come.
