Sofa Care 101: How to keep your zofa in tip-top condition
Investing in a new sofa is an exciting time for any homeowner. Seeing your new sofa in your own space after weeks (sometimes months) of choosing materials, colours and sizes, is extremely rewarding and satisfying.
We want your sofa to remain as crisp and fresh as it when your first received it to ensure you still get that ‘zofa feeling’ every time you look at it. To do this, it’s important to take proper care of it.
In this blog, we’ll share our top four essential tips to help you maintain your new sofa’s pristine condition, keeping it comfy, clean, and visually appealing.
Tip: Use a soft brush attachment to prevent any damage.
If you are left with stains, and require a thorough clean, we recommend you contact a specialist cleaner who is equipped to deal with such occurrences.
Direct sunlight can cause your sofa’s fabric to fade over time. It’s important to avoid this as much as you can. If you can try to position your sofa away from windows this will help keep the pristine condition of your sofa for longer. If this is too tricky, you could try UV-protective window films as an alternative.
Prevent Pet Damage
If you have a four-legged furry friend, you’ll know we can’t always predict when and where accidents will happen. To prolong the longevity of your sofa, you will need to take precautions to safeguard your sofa from their claws, fur, and accidents. If you can, train your pets to stay off the sofa, then great. However, if you’ve had pets for a long time, you know this rule has already gone out the window. So instead, use throws and blankets to cover the sofa to protect the fabric.
To keep the loose fur to a minimum, regularly groom your pets to minimise the day-to-day moulting and always treat any stains or accidents as quickly as you can.
We’re all guilty of snacking on food while lounging on the sofa and watching your favourite film or tv series. However, as I’m sure you will already know, it’s best to avoid it as much as you can. Accidental spills can leave unwanted stains on the fabric, making the sofa look dull and less fresh. Instead, invest in food trays to eat over and avoid crumbs and spills.
