Fabric Upholstery Care: Homeowner’s Guide to Maintain Your Sofa

No homeowner can go wrong with a fabric sofa - it adds a contemporary and cozy to touch to your home that no one can resist admiring.
But, while it tends to be a focal point of your living room, it can also be a major nightmare when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. In contrast to other materials and makes, a sofa made with fabric often lack the durability of the leather’s hard-wearing properties.
However, as vulnerable as your fabric sofa is to spills and stains, the right level of care can keep it in mint condition for as long as any other upholstery. So, before resorting straight to a fabric sofa cleaning services in Singapore, here are my two cents on how I maintain our sofa and how you can too!
Practical Tips on How to Clean and Maintain Your Sofa
1. Protect your fabric
Your first line of defence against wear and tear is to protect it from damage and stains in the first place. Your upholstery may already be soil- and waterproofed in the finishing process, but it doesn’t hurt to have additional fabric protectors applied for extra precaution.
Although it’s not a substitute for immediately cleaning a soiled piece, it will keep the upholstery from absorbing spills right away. Remember, it’s always, always necessary to clean up spills and stains promptly.
2. Turn the cushions
Extend the life of your fabric sofa by periodically turning and rotating your cushions. I do it at least once every week to make sure that the cushions wear evenly, allowing the fibres and foam to recover from use.
Additionally, it also helps to fluff them once in a while to bring them back to shape and keep them from sagging in isolated places.
3. Vacuum
Like your carpets, your fabric sofa also needs vacuuming every week to remove dirt and dust that have settled on the cushions. If vacuum is not available, you can also use a soft bristled brush to gently whisk dirt away, without the damaging the fabric.
These steps will keep dirt from being deeply seated into the fibre, which in time may be more difficult to clean or worse, may become a permanent stain.
4. Spot clean
Although regular maintenance can do a lot for your fabric sofa, accidents are bound to happen. Baby wipes can do with blotting spills, but for larger problem areas, you may need to use a mild cleaning product that’s safe for use on your sofa. For that, you’ll have to test in a small area before you actually spot clean.
If both of these don’t work on stubborn marks, then it might be time to call on a sofa cleaning provider in Singapore.
5. Avoid direct sunlight
Direct sunlight can cause your upholstery fabric to fade and fray. I’ve learned it the hard way, so to save you from the same situation, place your sofa where it will not be exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time.
You must take extra precautions when your upholstery is made of fabric and other delicate fabrics.
Call a Professional Sofa Cleaner in Singapore

It’s not always easy to avoid damage. However, you can always rely on a professional sofa cleaning services provider to keep your furniture clean and beautiful for a couple of years or so. I recommend doing calling an expert on a regular basis, not only for cleaning but for maintenance as well.
