6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Fabric

• Regular Vacuuming: 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 specifically designed for corduroy or upholstered furniture. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
• Removable Covers: The seat cushion covers are removable. Refer to the care label for specific washing instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. Do not bleach or tumble dry.

6.2 Frame Care

• Wipe the exposed wooden or metal parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Periodically check and tighten all screws and bolts to ensure the sofa's stability.

7. Troubleshooting

• Sofa feels unstable: Ensure all legs are securely tightened and that the sofa sections are fully engaged in their connectors. Check for uneven flooring.
• Cushions appear flat: Allow up to 72 hours for cushions to fully expand after unpacking. Fluff and rotate them regularly to help them regain their shape.
• Missing parts or damaged components: If you encounter missing parts or damaged components during assembly, do not proceed with assembly. Contact Shintenchi customer support immediately for assistance and replacement parts.
• Difficulty connecting sections: Ensure the metal connectors are properly aligned. Apply gentle, even pressure to slide the sections together until they click into place.
