How to Care for a Fabric Sofa: Simple Rules for Lasting Comfort

Fabric upholstery needs regular but simple care. A few easy habits will keep your sofa looking fresh and feeling comfortable for years of everyday use.

Routine Fabric Care

Vacuum with a soft brush attachment once a week, fluff and rotate cushions regularly, and keep the room ventilated while avoiding prolonged direct sunlight.

Dealing with Stains

Blot fresh spills with a cloth instead of rubbing them in. Water-soluble stains usually respond well to a mild soap solution, while grease marks need a dedicated upholstery stain remover. Always test any product on a hidden area first.

If You Have Pets

Remove pet hair with a brush or a sticky roller, and use a throw or cover on spots where your pet likes to rest.

What to Avoid

Skip bleach and harsh chemicals, keep hairdryers away from the fabric, and avoid washing velour or chenille covers yourself without professional cleaning.
