Taking care of your sofa with sofa.com
You've taken the time to create the sofa of your dreams, handcrafted and delivered and now taking pride of place within your home. To ensure your sofa gives you a lifetime of style and comfort, take a look at sofa.com's care recommendations, from cushion plumping to fabric and wood care.
Caring for your cushions
When your new sofa arrives, you may find that the seat and back cushions look and feel firmer than you were expecting. Don't worry, this is perfectly normal, and they will settle down after a little while! If you wish to speed up the process, give them a good plumping to redistribute the feathers and turn them over every so often to soften.
For pads that contain feather, regular plumping will be required to keep those cushions looking full and feel sumptuous to sit on.
Caring for your fabrics
Almost all of sofa.com's beautiful fabrics are made in Italy, and most require special care particularly when it comes to cleaning.
We recommend not to spot clean any fabrics with a wet or damp cloth, unless otherwise stated on the care instructions.
Be careful not to rub too hard when cleaning as this may change the appearance of the fabric.
Always follow the care instructions and if you need to hire a cleaning company, always ensure they do a patch test.
Cotton matt velvets does not like water. To maintain the natural pile of the fabric and keep the velvet looking beautiful, please wipe with a clean dry cloth or a velvet brush to avoid marking the fabric.
Sofa.com's machine washable fabrics should always be washed on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees or lower. Use a non-bio detergent with no optical brightening agents. If you find the covers have shrunk a little try ironing them out with a damp press.
