4. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will help preserve the appearance and extend the life of your Sunset Trading Horizon Slipcovered Sofa.
Cleaning Instructions:
- General Cleaning: Regularly vacuum the sofa using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. The fabric is designed to be durable, stain-resistant, and easy-to-clean.
- Slipcover Care: The slipcovers are designed for easy removal and cleaning. Refer to the care tag on the slipcover for specific washing instructions. Typically, machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent is recommended. Tumble dry on low or air dry to prevent shrinking.
- Cushion Care: Fluff and rotate cushions regularly to maintain their shape and even out wear.
General Care:
- Avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight to prevent fading of the fabric.
- Keep the sofa away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns you might encounter with your sofa.
Cushion Sagging:
Over time, cushions may show signs of compression or sagging, especially with frequent use. This is normal for feather down blend cushions.
- Solution: Regularly fluff and rotate your seat and back cushions. This helps redistribute the fill material and maintain their loft and shape. Flipping cushions periodically also ensures even wear.
- Persistent Sagging: If sagging persists despite regular fluffing and rotation, please contact Sunset Trading customer support for assistance.
Stains and Spills:
While the fabric is stain-resistant, immediate action is crucial for effective stain removal.
- Solution: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution (diluted dish soap and water) can be gently applied with a clean cloth, then blotted dry. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
