Things tend to become dirty and deteriorate over time. Leather sofas are no exception, so how should we clean and protect them on a daily basis?
(1) The leather of the sofa is prone to hardening and discoloration due to strong light and heat, so we should place it in a cool and shady place. But that place cannot be too humid, because genuine leather is prone to moisture and mold. So it's best to place the sofa in a cool and dry place.
(2) Remember not to jump around on the leather sofa, and do not place hard objects on the leather surface, as this can easily damage the leather surface.
(3) If you want to move the sofa, you should grab the bottom of the sofa with your hand, not its skin, as it will damage the skin.
(4) It is best to clean the stains on the crevices of sandy hair in daily life. Use a soft cloth to apply some neutral light soapy water, wring it out, and gently wipe it off. If you find any marks left by ballpoint pens or other materials, please use an eraser to remove them in a timely manner.
(5) It is best to choose some soft sofa cushions to prevent them from being damaged by friction.
(6) Irregular sitting habits can easily damage the sofa, such as sitting on the armrests of a leather sofa or sitting at the edge of its seat.
For newly purchased genuine leather sofas, first wet a towel with clean water, wring it out, and then wipe off the dust and dirt on the surface of the sofa. Avoid washing with water or wiping with gasoline. Gently wipe the surface of the sofa with a care agent once or twice to form a protective film on the leather surface, making it difficult for dirt to penetrate into the pores of the leather.
Maintenance and cleaning of rattan sofas
1. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the rattan material from fading and drying out.
2. Do not let it come into contact with or be close to fire or heat sources, and do not expose it to prolonged sunlight, otherwise it is prone to deformation, bending, cracking, loosening, and detachment.
3. Due to the large amount of dust on the surface of rattan furniture, cleaning can be done by first vacuuming or using a soft bristled brush to sweep away the floating dust from inside out, then wiping it with a damp cloth, and finally wiping it clean with a soft cloth.
4. Vine utensils in use
After a period of time, you can use diluted salt water to wipe rattan furniture products, which can not only remove dirt, but also maintain their flexibility for a long time, and have certain anti brittleness and anti insect effects.
5. The renovation method for original color rattan furniture: first clean and dry it, then use sandpaper to polish the outer rattan frame of the rattan furniture to remove stains and restore smoothness, and then apply a layer of gloss oil protection to make it look brand new.
Other precautions:
Never touch the surface of the sofa with sharp or rough objects to avoid damage. When smoking, attention should be paid to the possible damage to the sofa caused by cigarette butts, matches, lighters, etc.
Attention should be paid to preventing damage to the fabric caused by scratching by pets such as cats and dogs.
If there is no one living in the house for a long time, it is best to cover the sofa with bed sheets or other materials.
