It is important that a love seat is cared for and maintained properly. The appropriate cleaning technique depends largely on the material of the loveseat. However, paying special attention to your new piece of furniture will aid in extending its life and allow you to enjoy it for a longer period of time.

• Upholstery

It is best to clean upholstery every month to two months. Vacuum the love seat with a hand held vacuum or accessories from your canister vacuum. This will help rid of any loose particles in the fabric and reduce the risk of unwanted stains. Because there are so many different types of upholstery that cover love seats, there are also many ways to clean them. Most pieces of furniture contain a manufacturers tag attached to the love seat. This will describe the cleaning code and inform you of the best cleaning agent to use.

• Leather

The unique thing about leather is that if it is properly cared for, it will last for years and years. It is quite easy to maintain and prolong the life of your leather love seat. Simply wipe the leather with a clean, warm and damp piece of soft cloth. It is best to regularly clean your leather love seat once a month. This will prevent any body oils or dust from building up on the fabric. Refrain from using any abrasive solutions or cleaners that are not designed for leather.

• Micro fiber

Micro fiber has become extremely popular, mainly because it is so easy to maintain. It is almost impossible to stain micro fiber and most spills simply bead up and can easily be wiped clean. For periodic cleaning, use a water-based cleaning solution and gently wipe the fabric. This will help keep your love seat looking nice at all times. Micro fiber can be steam cleaned or dry cleaned.
