How to Care for Your Sofa So It Lasts Longer
Proper sofa care helps extend its lifespan and preserve its beauty over time. Start by vacuuming or wiping the sofa at least once a week to reduce dust and dirt buildup. If the sofa has removable fabric covers, wash them or send them for professional cleaning according to the manufacturer’s instructions to prevent shrinking or fading. For leather sofas, use a dedicated leather-care product regularly to maintain softness and help prevent cracking.
Avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight or directly in front of an air conditioner, as this may cause the fabric or materials to deteriorate more quickly. Rotating or switching the position of cushions and seat pads can also help distribute weight evenly and reduce sagging in the same areas. If a stain occurs, clean it immediately to prevent it from becoming deeply embedded.
Finally, check the sofa structure and legs from time to time to ensure overall safety and stability. If you notice minor damage, repair it early before it becomes more serious. With thoughtful care and attention to these details, your favorite sofa can stay beautiful and remain part of your home for years to come.

SOFA PLUS+ Answers Frequently Asked Questions About Choosing a Sofa
If you have questions about choosing a sofa, we have gathered the answers for you here.
Q: What type of sofa should I choose for a small room?
A: If you have limited space, such as a condominium or small living room, we recommend choosing a 2-seater sofa or a small sofa with a simple, compact, and lightweight design. Choose a sofa with slim legs or a raised base to help the room feel more open. If you want added function, a space-saving recliner sofa can also be a good choice.
Q: Is a recliner sofa suitable for homes or condominiums?
A: Yes, it is very suitable, especially for homes that want a sofa for sitting during the day and reclining during rest time, or when overnight guests visit. For condominiums, we recommend a manual or electric recliner sofa that saves space and is easy to use. Choose a simple design that can be folded away neatly for flexible living areas.
Q: Is a leather sofa easy to care for?
A: A leather sofa is generally easier to care for than a fabric sofa because it collects less dust and can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. However, it should be kept away from strong direct sunlight, and leather conditioner should be applied every 4–6 months to help prevent cracking. It is suitable for those who appreciate a refined, premium, and elegant look.
