Proper care for your lounge room furniture ensures longevity and maintains its appearance. Each piece requires specific maintenance, from the luxurious comfort of a lazy boy recliner to the classic appeal of a rocking chair. This Rowes Furniture blog guides you through essential tips to keep your furniture looking and feeling its best.
Regular Cleaning Techniques
Dust and dirt can accumulate on your furniture, diminishing its look and potentially causing damage. Regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment helps keep your lazy boy recliner clean. A rocking chair benefits from dusting wooden parts and spot-cleaning fabric or leather areas. When cleaning a leather lounge, use a soft cloth to wipe it down weekly and apply a leather conditioner monthly to prevent cracking and drying.
Dealing with Spills and Stains
Accidents happen, but prompt action can prevent permanent damage. Dab spills immediately with a clean cloth, avoid rubbing, as it can push the liquid deeper into the fabric. When removing stains on a recliner rocking chair, gently dab the affected area with a mild soap solution. Leather lounges should be treated with specialised leather cleaners to avoid discolouration or damage.
Protecting Your Furniture
The placement of your furniture impacts its durability. Keep your furniture away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading and leather drying. Similarly, positioning a recliner rocking chair in a shaded area reduces wear and tear. Leather lounges should be placed away from heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack over time.
Routine Maintenance Checks
Regularly check the moving parts of your furniture. Accordingly, for example, the rocking mechanism of a rocking chair should be inspected for smooth operation and tightened if needed. You should also inspect the seams and stitching of your leather recliner lounge and repair any minor issues before they worsen.
