- Vacuum the sofa regularly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and loose particles.

5. Troubleshooting
Most issues with your EKTORP Hallarp sofa can be resolved with simple adjustments or proper care. Here are some common concerns:
5.1 Loose Cover
If the cover appears loose or wrinkled, ensure it is properly aligned and smoothed out over the frame and cushions. After washing, ensure the cover is fully dry before re-applying, as damp fabric can stretch.
5.2 Cushion Sagging
Over time, cushions may show signs of compression. Regularly fluffing and rotating both seat and back cushions will help maintain their shape and even out wear, extending their lifespan.
5.3 Stains
For new stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains, refer to the care instructions for the Hallarp fabric cover (Section 4.1) and consider using a mild fabric cleaner suitable for polyester/cotton blends, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
