5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your CALIFE sofa:

  • Fabric Care: The seat cushions are removable and feature a polyester fabric. For general cleaning, vacuum regularly to remove dust and debris. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, follow the care instructions on the fabric label. It is generally recommended to use a mild fabric cleaner or have it professionally cleaned.
  • Cushion Care: Periodically fluff and rotate cushions to maintain their shape and even out wear.
  • Mechanism Care: The convertible mechanism is designed for durability. Avoid forcing the mechanism if it feels stiff. If needed, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts, but consult a professional if issues persist.
  • Frame Care: Wipe the visible parts of the frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Sunlight Exposure: Avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause fabric fading.

6. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
