Quick answer: Vacuum fabric sofas weekly, spot-clean spills immediately with a damp (not wet) cloth, rotate cushions monthly for even wear, and for leather sofas use a dedicated leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking.

How to Clean and Maintain a Fabric or Leather Sofa Set

Weekly care

Vacuum fabric upholstery weekly to prevent dust buildup, and wipe leather down with a dry microfiber cloth.

Handling spills

Blot (don't rub) spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth on fabric; on leather, wipe up spills right away to prevent staining or drying out the surface.

Rotating cushions

Rotate and flip seat cushions monthly so wear is distributed evenly across the set, extending the life of the foam.

Leather conditioning

Every 3-4 months, apply a proper leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially in Islamabad's dry winter months.
