Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your CALIFE sofa.
General Care:
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the sofa regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading of the velvet fabric. Position the sofa away from direct sun or use curtains/blinds.
- Rotate Cushions: Periodically rotate and fluff the seat and backrest cushions to maintain their shape and even out wear.
- Check Mechanism: Occasionally inspect the convertible mechanism for smooth operation and ensure all moving parts are free of obstructions.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Spot Cleaning: For spills and stains, immediately blot the affected area with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain.
- Damp Cloth Cleaning: For spot cleaning, use a clean cloth lightly dampened with water. Gently wipe the stained area. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Removable Seat Cushions: The seat cushions are removable. Refer to any specific care labels on the cushion covers for washing instructions. Generally, velvet covers may require professional cleaning or gentle hand washing.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive materials, or strong detergents, as these can damage the velvet fabric.
