How do I maintain an IKEA sofa?
You’ll want to keep your new sofa beautiful for as long as possible. Therefore, it is important to occasionally clean your sofa and to shake up the cushions.
Under the heading 'product information' on IKEA.nl you’ll find whether a cover is machine washable and at what temperature the cover can be washed for each product. For maintenance tips for a specific product, we recommend that you look at the assembly manual and the product page on our website.
How do I clean my sofa if the cover cannot be removed?
Try to vacuum the sofa thoroughly with a smooth nozzle every week to keep the fabric and color looking good. If the cover cannot be removed from your sofa, you can clean the sofa with a textile cleaner or make it bacteria-free with a steam cleaner.
How do I maintain my leather sofa?
For loose dirt, you can clean the sofa with a feather duster or gently vacuum it with a soft brush. Easy-to-remove stains can be removed with a damp sponge (with water or a mild soap solution). Don't forget to dry the sofa with a dry cloth. Protect the sofa from direct sunlight to prevent drying out.
How do I keep the loose back cushions in shape?
You can remove the back cushions from the cover. Shake the cushions up and down regularly and turn them before putting them back in the cover. This way, you ensure that air gets back into the back cushions and prevent them from quickly sinking and losing their shape.
