To preserve your furniture's longevity and appearance, follow key practices. Dust accumulates daily. Regular, weekly vacuuming with low suction prevents fabric deterioration. Address inevitable pilling with a battery-operated tool. Avoid contact with external walls or radiators to prevent moisture damage. Place upholstered furniture away from direct sunlight to minimize fading. Regularly rotate reversible cushions for extended seating life. Professional cleaning every 12 months is recommended.
