12 tips to keep Your Sofa Looking New

Regular Maintenance for all sofas:

1. Every week, you should use your upholstery or drape attachment to vacuum the sofa. This includes underneath the cushions, where abrasives such as crumbs, loose change and dust accumulates. These can mar the fabric.
2. The fabric should be professionally cleaned once a year. Depending on the fabric, you may want to have a stain repellent reapplied to the surface.
3. Clean all the surfaces at the same time, including both sides of the cushions and the back and sides of the sofa. You want all the fabric to get the same treatment so it wears evenly.
4. If something is spilled, blot first. Do not rub. Also, don’t use harsh detergents or soaps until you know the fabric can handle them.
5. Keep your sofa away from direct heat and even air conditioning. It can cause the joints to dry out, causing the sofa to squeak and creak.
6. Don’t let anyone sit on the arms or let your children jump on the sofa. It will cause a lot of wear very quickly.
7. Sunlight is the enemy of color and fabrics. It will cause the color to fade unevenly over time and weaken the fabrics. Even leather can be adversely affected by sunlight and heat, causing it to become brittle and crack.
8. Never pull on a loose thread. Tie them off and trim the loose ends with scissors.
9. Try to use all parts of the sofa. Even if you have a favorite seat, try to use the others as well. That way the fabrics on the cushions will wear evenly. And be sure to flip the cushions regularly, even weekly, to promote even wear.
10. Over time, perspiration and oils from your skin and hair will affect the finish of leather. Be sure to wipe heavy contact areas regularly to remove these oils.
11. Don’t leave newspapers on the surface of your sofa. The ink can bleed and stain the fabric permanently.
12. Don’t let guests sit on light colored sofas wearing new jeans that haven’t been washed yet. The dyes can bleed and stain the fabric permanently.

A Sofa for All Occasions

It’s no secret that the sofa is one of the most important pieces of furniture you can have in your home. It is the focal point of entertainment, communication, relaxation and even sleep.

Depending on your choices in design, a sofa can handle any or all of these duties with aplomb. To help you make an informed choice, we’ve boiled down the endless selection of styles and types into six main sofa styles.

Traditional

Whether you call it a couch or a sofa, most people associate this style with the word “sofas.” It is usually a single piece of furniture without any additional sections or features, such as a fold out sleeper or built in recliners. The upside is that a traditional sofa usually costs less than one with bells and whistles. It is also a lot less heavy, so you can move it more easily than other sofa styles.

Sleeper Sofa

On the outside, they look much like their traditional counterparts. It’s what’s on the inside that makes them different. Lift off the cushions and there’s a bed, ready to go. Typically, traditional sofas have a queen-sized sleeper while loveseats are twin-sized.

Of course, a sleeper sofa isn’t the most comfortable solution for your guests, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on how long you want your guests to stay. In addition, sleeper sofas are very heavy, so if you ever want to move it, especially up or down a flight of stairs, you’d better have a lot of good friends.

Convertible Sofas

Like their sleeper sofa counterparts, a convertible sofa is a good solution for the occasional overnight guest. With a convertible sofa, the whole sofa becomes a bed. There’s no internal mechanism. You simply pull out the cushions and they become the entire bed. One of the advantages of the convertible sofa is its ease of set up.

Recliner Sofas

Recliner sofas are traditional sofas with a twist – one or more seats in the sofa recline. The mechanism allows the user to sit upright, partially reclined or fully reclined.

Sectional Sofas

Sectional sofas are a great invention. They allow you to have a larger sofa without having to figure out how to get it into your home. The sections are manageable in size and many models of sectional sofas allow you to mix and match the pieces, so you can create a fresh look without having to buy another piece of living room furniture.

Home Theater Sofas

Similar to sectionals and recliners, home theater sofas offer movie and TV buffs convenient additions such as cup holders, slots for the TV Guide, and space to put your remote controls. Many models also have individual armrests, just like a movie theater.

As you can see, there’s something for everyone when choosing a sofa for your home. Whether you’re looking for a sofa that is a bit more traditional or one that caters to your plugged in lifestyle, there are sofas for all occasions.
