6. Maintenance

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

• Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the sofa regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and loose debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first. Follow the cleaner's instructions.
• Cushion Care: Fluff and rotate cushions periodically to maintain their shape and ensure even wear. The cushion covers are removable for cleaning.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading. Position your sofa away from direct sun or use window coverings.
• Frame and Legs: Periodically check the tightness of all screws and connections. Tighten if necessary.

If you encounter any issues with your sofa, consider the following:

• Wobbly Sections: Ensure all connecting brackets between modular sections are properly engaged and tightened. Check that all legs are securely fastened.
• Cushions Losing Shape: Regularly fluff and rotate cushions. This is normal wear and tear and helps maintain their loft.
• Fabric Stains: Refer to the spot cleaning instructions in the Maintenance section. Act quickly on spills.
• Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon unboxing, please contact customer service immediately.
