Cleaning a leather sofa or a fabric sofa to keep it beautiful over time is not an art reserved for upholsterers and, above all, you won't need a magic potions or some secret formulas. The regular cleaning of the sofa is the first and simplest strategy for keeping it at its best and prevent the deterioration of the fabric. Before proceeding with the washing process or use specific products, for example for leather upholstery, we suggest you to read our five tips for the ordinary care of your sofa or armchair at home. Down below, we will also explain how to deal with the cleaning phase and how to read the symbols that you will find in the washing instructions.
Gently brush the fabric, at regular intervals, in order to remove the dust.
Keep a constant hygiene, reduce the washing cycles using a vacuum cleaner.
Avoid the direct sunlight, halogen light or heat sources exposure for long times over your sofas.
Equally use the various seats of your sofas, in order to balance the natural wear of the product over time.
Consult the technical data sheet of the covering before starting the cleaning process.
The Doimo Salotti fabric coverings are all completely removable and washable. When you decide to unsheathe the cover of the sofa, remember to pay attention to the detachment of the velcro: do it carefully and gently. In this way you will avoid to damage the velveteen of the padding.
The seat, back and armrest cushions are easily removable by opening the zipper on the side.
The washing process of the fabric must respect the indications you will find on the techical data sheet, which comes with your sofa at the moment of the purchase. If you are no longer in possession of these indications, we suggest to contact your retailer.
Naturally, the leather upholstery needs special care both during the periodic cleaning process and the daily use. In the first months after the purchase, slight creases may appear in the surface. This is due to the normal settling of the leather.
Doimo Salotti carries out a scrupulous selection of raw materials to ensure the maximum quality in every phase of the production.
Any superficial irregularity such as wrinkles, stretch marks, veins, differences in grain or color, are not defects but evidence of a natural origin of the product, which embellishes each sofa making it unique and different from any other.
Stains and dirt can be removed using a soft wet cloth with neutral soap.
The models in light leather are even more delicate than others. Therefore, avoid the contact and/or the rubbing with clothing that may lose color, such as jeans, because it can be absorbed by the leather and stain it. Never leave newspapers in contact with the covering, because the ink can ruin it.
In the technical data sheet that comes with every sofa we produce you will find detailed instructions about the proper cleaning process of the fabric, expressed by the wash care symbols down below.
