Looking After Your Sofa
Please give your sofa the love and care it deserves so it stays looking its best. Here, we've put together some tips and advice for the care and maintenance of your sofa.
Looking after your sofa
All our sofas are made to the highest standards, using premium materials designed for longevity. To keep yours in showroom condition, we recommend following a few simple steps to preserve its appearance and luxury feel.
Sustainable style
At the heart of The Crafted Home is a belief that furniture should be for life. By caring for your pieces properly, you contribute to a more sustainable future, ensuring your investment remains a centerpiece of your home for years to come.
To ensure your sofa ages gracefully, avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to heat sources like radiators, as this can cause fabrics to fade and timber to crack.
We recommend plumping and rotating cushions weekly to maintain their shape and prevent uneven wear of the internal fillings. This simple routine helps preserve the sofa's silhouette and comfort levels for years to come.
Regular maintenance is essential for fabric longevity. Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum your sofa fortnightly, removing dust and grit that can wear down fibres.
In the event of a spill, blot immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Never rub the stain, as this can damage the fabric's integrity. For deep cleaning, we recommend consulting a professional upholstery specialist.
One of the characteristics of velvet is that it will reflect light in different ways, creating natural shading and pressure marks. This is a sign of a high-quality pile fabric rather than a defect.
To restore the pile, gently brush with a soft clothes brush in the direction of the grain. If the pile becomes heavily crushed, lightly steam the area without direct contact to lift the fibres back to their original state.
Leather develops a unique patina and character over time. To keep it looking its best, wipe the surface weekly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
For deep cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soapy water followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using multi-purpose household cleaners, which can strip the natural oils from the leather and cause premature cracking.
At The Crafted Home, we stand by our craftsmanship. Every piece is designed to be a permanent fixture in your life. Our quality assurance team is dedicated to ensuring your complete satisfaction.
If you have specific questions regarding a material or a unique stain, our Compliance and Support team is available via compliance@thecraftedhome.co.uk to offer expert guidance and aftercare support.
