Today, a friend of mine finished decorating his house and asked me how to choose a sofa. I just happened to tell you today, you can refer to it!

The most commonly used sofas on the market now are leather sofas, fabric sofas and technical fabric sofas! Today we will talk about their advantages and disadvantages!

Let's talk about leather first. The advantages are beautiful, elegant, high-end, good feel, and comfortable! The disadvantage is that it is more expensive. You can go to the store to check it out. An ordinary 3-seat combination is estimated to cost about 10,000 yuan, not to mention the brand! In addition, it is more difficult to maintain and requires professional oiling and care. It is not recommended for families with children who like to make noise. Don't put sharp objects on it, or it will be scratched!

The second type is fabric sofa. This type of sofa is cheap, hard, and can be made in many shapes. It can be used in all styles. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to maintain and wash. Although it can be disassembled for washing, it is easy to break. If there is a little stain or oil stain, it will penetrate to the bottom and it is difficult to wash it clean. It does not feel very good and is not very comfortable. I will teach you a method. If you have children at home, you can buy some sofa covers online and take them down for washing regularly, but oil stains will still penetrate to the bottom.

Fabric Sofa

Finally, let's talk about the tech fabric material. Advantages: easy to clean, retains the beautiful fabric pattern, has many choices, and is breathable. This material is now mainstream and is very easy to clean. Just wipe it with a cloth dipped in detergent and water, and don't worry about leakage underneath! The price is also moderate, and a set of modular sofas can be done for about 7,000.
Disadvantages: the color will change slightly after washing too much, but this is also the characteristic of the fabric. The edge of the cushion will collapse after a long period of use. This depends on the brand!

Tech fabric sofa

In short, it depends on everyone's choice. Every product has its advantages and disadvantages. If you can accept its advantages, you have to accept its disadvantages.

Below are some sofa maintenance methods. If you are interested, you can take a look.

1. Keep a gap of 0.5 to 1 cm between the part of the sofa against the wall;
2. Avoid direct sunlight, place it in a place away from sunlight, or use translucent gauze curtains to block the sunlight;
3. Vacuum at least once a week, paying special attention to removing dust accumulated between fabric structures;
4. Turn the sofa cushions over once a week to ensure even distribution of wear;
5. If there are stains, wipe them with a clean cloth dipped in water. To avoid leaving marks, it is best to wipe from the outside of the stain.
The maintenance methods of high-tech fabric sofas are:
1. You can soak the soft cotton cloth with a 1:10 soap solution or a 1:20 high-end shampoo, wring out the water, and gently wipe the stain. If the stain is too heavy, repeat several times and the stain will be removed, but do not use excessive force, otherwise the fabric will change color;
2. Vacuum the high-tech fabric sofa at least once a week, and pay special attention to removing the dust between the folds of the fabric;
3. If the sofa cover cannot be removable and washed, you can buy a canned spray or foam sofa detergent and use it according to the instructions. You can buy a separate sofa cover and use a sofa towel;
4. If the outer cover of the high-tech fabric sofa is removable and washable, especially the cotton and linen fabrics, it is better to use dry cleaning to prevent shrinkage and deformation.

I didn’t talk about Chinese wooden sofas here, as they are generally paired with Chinese decoration style. If you want to know more about them, I can write another article about it. If not, forget it!
