Recessed sofas are a crucial component of furniture. Whether it's a European or Chinese style sofa, proper maintenance is essential. Furniture enthusiasts offer the following key points for maintaining a recessed sofa:
1. To avoid disrupting color consistency, it's not recommended to remove and wash individual cushion covers. Fabric sofa covers are best dry-cleaned and should not be washed frequently.
2. Do not pull or drag the sofa armrests, and avoid sitting on them. While sofa armrests are an important part of the sofa, ensuring its integrity and aesthetics, their delicate structure is insufficient to support your body.
3. Natural leather, like human skin, requires careful handling. It's recommended to clean it only with a soft, damp cloth. Leather cannot withstand high temperatures; do not use hot water or a hairdryer. Use a professional leather conditioner for treatment, ideally every six months to a year; avoid frequent use.

4. Strong sunlight, heating, or air conditioning can significantly affect fabric fibers and leather. This effect can be seen within a few months, causing weakened fibers and localized fading.
5. Be careful not to let your jewelry, belts, shoelace buckles, or items in your back pockets snag or puncture your sofa cover. Protect it from sharp objects and animal claws.
6. Do not stand or jump on the sofa. Excessive weight can cause varying degrees of damage, and such man-made damage is not covered under warranty.
Furniture Enthusiast Tip: After sitting for a long time, pat the sofa to smooth it out. This can effectively extend the sofa's lifespan and maintain its shape.
