SOFA SO GOOD Buying a sofa is a major investment so it makes sense once you get it to look after it to increase its longevity. The Sofa Workshop advises the following care tips:
Plump the cushions regularly to maintain its shape and comfort and rotate them regularly which will help even out wear and tear.
Look after a leather sofa by dusting it regularly. Don't use polishes, creams, detergents solvents, stain removers or saddle soap though as it may damage the leather.
Don't expose your sofa to excessive heat or direct sunlight. Over a period of time this can distort the frame and without the frame you'll be sitting on the floor.
And above all, keep your pets off the sofa. If you can't think about investing in loose covers.
