Sofa Care Guide: How to Clean and Maintain Your Sofa
Regular sofa care is essential to keep your furniture looking pristine, comfortable, and lasting longer. Whether your sofa is fabric, leather, or modular, following these simple yet effective maintenance tips from Sofarama near Tunbridge Wells ensures it stays beautiful for years.
1. Regular Sofa Cleaning
Vacuum your sofa weekly to prevent dust, dirt, and debris from settling into the fibres. Use an upholstery attachment to gently clean cushions and crevices.
2. How to Handle Spills on Your Sofa
When a spill occurs, act immediately:
Blot spills with a clean, dry cloth; never rub.
Use mild detergent mixed with water for fabric sofas.
For leather sofas, wipe gently with a damp cloth and leather-safe cleaner.
3. Deep Cleaning Your Sofa
Perform a thorough deep clean at least once or twice a year:
Steam clean fabric sofas carefully, avoiding saturation.
Arrange professional sofa cleaning for leather or delicate fabrics.
