How to extend the service life of a sofa

Firstly, for fabric sofas, it is recommended to purchase specialized sofa covers, which can facilitate the cleaning of the sofa covers and also protect the sofa itself from wear and tear. Regularly vacuum the surface to remove dust and prevent bacterial growth. If the velvet cover of the sofa is detachable, it should be thoroughly cleaned once a year with a specialized sofa cleaner, and the appropriate cleaning method should be selected according to the different fabrics. For example, the elastic cover can be machine washed directly, while the linen cover should be sent to a laundry for dry cleaning. ‌

For leather sofas, daily cleaning should use clean and soft fabrics to gently wipe them, avoiding the use of cleaning agents containing chemical solvents. Prevent sharp objects from scratching the surface of leather, and avoid direct contact with colored solvents, sweat, alcohol, etc. It is recommended to undergo professional care every 3-6 months to maintain the softness and wear resistance of the surface. Leather sofas should be placed in a ventilated and dry place, avoiding moisture and prolonged exposure to sunlight. ‌

In addition, the placement of the sofa is also crucial. Long term exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided as it can cause the sofa to fade. If there is direct light in the living room, the sofa position should be changed regularly. ‌

Finally, regularly check the fasteners and springs of the sofa to ensure structural stability. When the sofa has been in use for a long time or has severe wear and tear, it should be considered to replace it with a new sofa, while paying attention to matching the style and size of the original furniture. ‌

By using the above methods, the service life of the sofa can be effectively extended while maintaining its good appearance and comfort. ‌
