Every person will experience buying for a sofa at least once it their life. During that time, it is crucial to get everything right not only to avoid disappointment but to save money as well. But even if you managed to buy the right sofa for your home, you still have the task of maintaining and caring for it, especially if the sofa is upholstered. To help you do this, here are some useful tips.
1. Get it right from the start
From the moment you're browsing for the right upholstery of your modern sofa, you should know already if you're up for the task of maintaining it or want something low-maintenance. The fabric of choice can mean the difference between years of high-maintenance and a lifetime of low-maintenance. If you're placing the sofa is an area where its going to experience heavy abuse, opt for synthetic fiber. This upholstery is known to last and avert wear and tear longer.
2. Buy protection
You can expect your modern sofa had been treated with the right protection from the factory it was made. Manufacturers oftentimes treat sofas with soil and stain protection. But even so, you should not mistake this as long-lasting. Buy some excellent fabric protection that you can use at home. Furthermore, make sure that you immediately remove spills to avoid the sofa from absorbing them. Letting spills or stains dry can do permanent damage to the furniture.
3. Occasionally turn the cushions
Turning over loose cushions every once in a while is another great way to prolong the life of your upholstered sofa. You can easily and evenly distribute wear and tear and even protect your cushions from developing indentations early. In addition, dont forget to fluff the cushions after cleaning them to preserve their shape.
4. Keep the sofa away from direct sunlight
Sunlight can easily damage upholstery fabric overtime, causing the fabric design to fade. To avoid this, protect the sofa with a mid-heavy curtain. Better yet, place the furniture away from the window where it will receive direct sunlight.
5. Always have the right contact numbers
Extreme damage cannot be avoided. If this happens to your upholstered modern sofa, dont hesitate to contact a professional that can repair the furniture for you. Instead of doing it yourself and risk worsening the damage already done, have someone with the right experience handle the job.
