2. Sofa and Couch Care
Sofas and couches are often used daily, so regular care can help maintain their appearance and comfort.

Vacuum upholstered surfaces regularly using a suitable upholstery attachment.

Blot liquid spills gently with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which may spread the stain or push it deeper into the fabric.

Check the product's care label before using any cleaning solution.

Test cleaning products on a small, hidden area before applying them to the entire surface.

Rotate or adjust removable cushions periodically, where applicable, to help distribute normal wear evenly.

Keep sharp objects, pet claws, and rough materials away from upholstered surfaces.
