5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Novogratz Bowen Sectional Sofa.

• Cleaning: Professional cleaning is recommended for the upholstery. For minor spills, spot clean immediately with a clean, damp cloth and mild detergent. Blot gently; do not rub.
• Cushion Covers: The seat cushion covers are removable. While removable, professional cleaning is still advised to maintain fabric integrity and color. Do not machine wash or tumble dry unless specifically instructed by a professional cleaner.
• Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the sofa using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading of the fabric.
• Legs: Periodically check the tightness of the wooden legs and re-tighten if necessary.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your sofa, refer to the following common solutions:

• Cushions Sliding: If cushions tend to slide, ensure they are properly aligned with the Velcro strips on the sofa frame. If the issue persists, consider adding non-slip pads underneath the cushions.
• Odor from Cushions: New, vacuum-sealed cushions may have a temporary odor. Allow the cushions to air out in a well-ventilated room for several days. Lightly misting with a fabric freshener may help.
• Sofa Wobbles: Check that all legs are securely tightened. Ensure the sofa is placed on a flat, even surface. If the issue persists, inspect legs for any damage.
• Firmness: Initial firmness may vary. Cushions typically soften slightly with regular use.
