Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Merax sofa.

• General Cleaning: Regularly vacuum the sofa using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
• Spot Cleaning (Code W): The upholstery fabric has a cleaning code of 'W', meaning it should be cleaned with water-based cleaning agents. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild, water-based upholstery cleaner. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure no discoloration occurs. Do not saturate the fabric.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading. Position your sofa away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds.
• Fluff Cushions: Periodically fluff and rotate seat and back cushions to maintain their shape and even out wear.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the fabric and frame.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Sofa feels wobbly: Ensure all legs are securely tightened. Check all connecting brackets between sections to confirm they are fully engaged.
• Missing parts: Refer to the 'Package Contents' section. If parts are missing, do not attempt to assemble. Contact Merax customer support for assistance.
• Cushions appear flat: Allow cushions time to expand after unpacking. Regularly fluff and rotate them to help maintain their shape and loft.
• Fabric discoloration: Ensure the sofa is not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight. For cleaning, always follow the 'W' cleaning code instructions and test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
