Buying furniture is easy, but maintenance afterwards is a very particular science. How to maintain furniture? Let's share some tips on how to do it. Sales staff at Haima Furniture said that furniture maintenance can generally be divided into daily maintenance and regular maintenance. Daily maintenance usually involves wiping off the surface dust with a clean soft cloth. It should be noted that when wiping, wet cloths or hard objects must not be used to wipe the painted surfaces and mirrors or glass. Regular maintenance is usually done once every quarter. After wiping off the dust from the furniture surface with a soft cloth, apply special furniture polish evenly on the surface and then polish with a clean soft cloth, which will make the furniture surface lastingly bright and moisture-proof. Metal fittings and metal handles can be wiped with a little engine oil and dried for smooth rotation and rust prevention as well as anti-oxidation.
NO.1 Fabric Sofa Maintenance: The maintenance of fabric sofas is relatively simple. You can vacuum once a week, paying attention to removing dust between the fabric structures. An easier way is to exchange and use the cushions, using both sides alternately, flipping them once a week, which allows even wear distribution and saves much effort in maintenance. If there are stains, you can wipe them off with a clean damp cloth. To avoid leaving marks, start wiping from the outside of the stain. Velvet furniture should not get wet, dry cleaning agents should be used instead. Generally, all covers and linings should be cleaned by dry cleaning, not water washing, and bleaching is prohibited. Besides, you'd better not sit on the sofa with sweat, water stains, or mud to ensure the service life of the furniture.
NO.2 Leather Sofa Maintenance: Maintaining leather sofas is more complicated. Furniture should definitely be placed away from high temperatures. Excessive heat can cause changes in the appearance of leather, making it stick together. Therefore, furniture should not be placed near fireplaces or radiators, nor close to windows where sunlight shines directly. Similarly, placing leather sofas in rooms with low temperatures is not advisable. Low temperature or prolonged exposure to cold air can cause synthetic leather to freeze, crack, and harden. Placing furniture in humid rooms can also easily damage the surface membrane, shortening its lifespan. Therefore, bathrooms, showers, and kitchens are not suitable for placing "precious" leather or solid wood furniture. When wiping leather furniture, don't use wet towels or wet cloths; dry cloths are better. When lying down or sitting on the sofa, no metal items (such as keys, knives) should be carried, and writing or drawing on the leather should be avoided.
