Daily sofa care
Keep the colour on point
First things first, take a look at where you’ve decided your new sofa is going to live. Is it near a window? It’s important to bear in mind that direct sunlight can cause colour fading on your sofa. So it’s a good idea to keep your curtains or blinds drawn during the brightest part of the day. Another option is to invest in a throw to cover your furniture during any sunny spells.
If your sofa is a pale colour, you’ll need to make sure any throws or scatter cushions you use are made from a colourfast fabric.
Keep your pale-coloured sofa looking pristine by changing out of jeans, or dark clothes.
Before you snuggle up for the evening.
The perfect excuse to spend lazy days in your pyjamas!
Plump to perfection
No matter what your sofa cushions are filled with, we recommend you try to plump them as much as possible.
To keep them looking full.
Be sure to encourage the filling to move from the back of the cushion to the front.
And aiming to spread the filling evenly.
If you have fibre-filled cushions and the cover unzips and you can get inside with your hands.
And manually separate the fibres as well.
This helps to stop them matting together over time.
And will make it easier to plump regularly.
Smooth operator
In order to keep your fabric sofa in perfect condition.
And when you’ve finished plumping you should smooth the cover.
Following the care instructions below.
We like to call this the “Union Jack method”.
As it follows the stripes of the Great British flag.
Using clean, dry hands, begin by smoothing your cushions from the centre to the outside.
And following a horizontal and then a vertical line.
Start at the centre again.
And smooth diagonally out to each corner.
Smooth the fabric right to the edges.
And tuck down the sides and back.
We’re all guilty of having a favourite seat.
Unfortunately, if you sit on one seat more than the others.
You’re bound to end up with one cushion that starts to show signs of extra wear.
We recommend using your sofa as evenly as possible.
