Care Tips for Leather, Linen & Fabric Sofas

Your sofa is the heart of your home β€” a place to rest, gather, and unwind. To keep it beautiful for years to come, here’s how to clean and care for different types of upholstery.

πŸ›‹ Leather Sofas

Timeless, luxurious, and surprisingly low-maintenance.

Regular Care

  • Dust weekly using a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
  • Vacuum crevices gently using a soft brush attachment.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and heat to avoid fading or cracking.

Deep Cleaning (Every 3–6 months)

  • Mix a few drops of mild liquid soap with warm water.
  • Dampen a cloth (never soak it) and wipe the surface gently.
  • Follow with a dry cloth to remove excess moisture.
  • Optional: Apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.

Tip: Never use alcohol-based cleaners or harsh chemicals.

πŸͺ‘ Linen & Cotton Sofas

Natural, breathable, and elegant β€” but more delicate.

Regular Care

  • Vacuum weekly using a low-suction setting to remove dust and lint.
  • Flip and fluff cushions to maintain shape and reduce wear.
  • Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth β€” do not rub.

Deep Cleaning (Every 3–6 months)

  • Spot clean using mild upholstery shampoo or fabric-safe soap diluted with water.
  • Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Use a white sponge or cloth to avoid dye transfer.
  • Air dry naturally β€” avoid direct heat or sun.

Note: Linen is more prone to wrinkles and marks. Use a fabric steamer for light creases.

🧡 Fabric Sofas (Polyester, Blends, etc.)

Durable and family-friendly β€” great for everyday use.

Regular Care

  • Vacuum weekly, especially if you have pets.
  • Use a lint roller to remove hair and debris.
  • Rotate cushions to promote even wear.

Deep Cleaning (Every 3–6 months)

  • Mix a solution of mild detergent + warm water.
  • Use a soft cloth to gently blot stains.
  • For stubborn spots, use a fabric cleaner approved for your sofa type.
  • Let air dry completely before use.

Caution: Avoid over-wetting. Too much moisture can leave water stains or damage the foam.

🟒 Extra Sofa Care Tips

  • Use slipcovers or throws for added protection.
  • Treat new stains as soon as possible β€” speed is key.
  • Consider professional cleaning once a year for best results.
