How to maintain fabric furniture

The following are practical suggestions for maintaining fabric furniture, combined with daily cleaning, regular care, and environmental maintenance:

1、 Daily cleaning

Vacuum cleaning every week

Use a soft bristled brush or flat head vacuum cleaner to clean surface dust, with a focus on cleaning handrails, gaps, and the bottom of seat cushions to avoid damaging fabrics with strong suction brushes.

Timely handle stains

Immediately absorb any spilled liquid with a dry cloth, and use a neutral cleaner (test in a concealed location) to gently wipe oil or stubborn stains from the periphery to the center. Velvet material requires dry cleaning agent and should not be wet.

2、 Regular care

Fabric Cleaning and Maintenance

Thoroughly clean with a specialized fabric cleaner every 3-6 months to prevent residual cleaning agents from adsorbing dust.

Remove and wash the cloth cover once a year (pay attention to the label instructions). It is recommended to dry clean materials such as linen and silk. Cotton and linen can be washed in a cold water machine but cannot be bleached.

Newly purchased fabric furniture can be sprayed with fabric anti fouling agent to reduce the penetration of oil stains.

Wear and tear prevention and refurbishment

Flip the sofa cushion every week to evenly distribute the force; Use a sofa towel or cushion cover to protect areas that are prone to wear and tear.

Trim loose threads with scissors, and use a hairball trimmer to handle pilling.

3、 Environmental control

Sunscreen and moisture-proof

Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading and fabric hardening; During the rainy season, air conditioning can be turned on for dehumidification or desiccants can be placed.

Fabric furniture should be kept 0.5-1 centimeter away from the wall and ventilated.

Temperature and humidity regulation

Maintain indoor humidity at 40% -60%, and use a humidifier during dry seasons to avoid fabric cracking.

4、 Special case handling

Mold removal

In case of mildew in plum rain season, wipe with mildew remover, air dry, and then apply mildew proof spray.

Filler maintenance

Regularly pat the cushions and seat cushions to restore their fluffiness; Air dry the down liner for 3 hours to avoid excessive drying.

5、 Precautions

Avoid chemical damage: Do not use bleach or alkaline cleaners to prevent fabric discoloration or brittleness.

Reduce direct contact: Change clothes promptly after sweating to avoid contamination with cosmetics, ink, etc.

Seasonal storage: Fabric furniture that is not currently in use should be cleaned and stored dry. Cotton and linen can be folded and placed with camphor balls to prevent insects.

Tip:

When light colored fabric is stained with dust, use a slightly damp sponge dipped in baking soda to wipe it off for better cleaning effect.

Local minor stains can be lightly wiped with alcohol swabs or toothpaste, and then cleaned with a damp cloth.

Reasonable maintenance can extend the lifespan of fabric furniture, maintain its softness and aesthetics.
