Maintenance of chaise longue

　　Furniture is the protagonist of home decoration. Its versatility and practicality determine its price. Therefore, it is impossible for people to replace furniture frequently. Therefore, its maintenance becomes particularly important.

　　A level floor: The floor where the furniture is placed must be flat, with all four legs firmly and levelly placed. Avoid uneven surfaces. If the furniture is constantly wobbling and unstable, the joints or fasteners will loosen over time, and the adhesive will crack, which will naturally shorten the furniture's lifespan. Some people use wooden or iron pads under one leg of the furniture to compensate for uneven floors and stabilize the furniture, but this is inappropriate. Even the slightest movement of the padding can destabilize the furniture. Even if the padding is level, uneven forces can affect the furniture's internal structure over time. The solution is to modify the floor or use a slightly larger hard plastic board to level the furniture's legs.

　　Cleaning and Dust Removal: It's best to use a pure cotton rag and a soft wool brush to remove dust from recessed areas or embossed patterns. Avoid using solvents like alcohol or gasoline to remove stains from painted furniture. Instead, apply a thin layer of colorless furniture polish and wipe dry with a cotton cloth to reduce dusting and enhance the gloss.

　　Avoid moisture: Indoor humidity should be maintained within normal limits. Humidifiers should only be used during dry seasons with low humidity, but should be kept away from furniture sprays. Moisture can cause wood to rot and metal fittings to rust. It can also cause adhesive to delaminate and chrome plating to peel. When cleaning furniture during holidays, avoid using alkaline water. Wipe with a damp cloth, not running water.

　　Maintenance methods of solid wood chaise longue:

　　1. Avoid exposing it to strong sunlight or excessively dry places to prevent the wood from cracking and deforming.

　　2. Do not place heavy objects on the top cabinets of large wardrobes, bookcases and other furniture, otherwise the cabinet doors will appear concave and convex, making them difficult to close tightly.

　　3. Frequently use a soft cloth to remove dust from furniture along the grain of the wood. Before removing dust, apply some spray cleaner on the soft cloth. Do not wipe it with a dry cloth to avoid scratches.

　　4. Try to avoid contact of furniture surfaces with corrosive liquids, alcohol, nail polish, etc.

　　5. Keep the room dry to prevent the furniture from getting damp and moldy.

　　6. When solid wood furniture is used in a relatively dry environment, artificial humidification measures must be adopted, such as: wiping the furniture with a soft cloth dipped in water regularly.

　　7. Wax the furniture regularly. Every 6-12 months, apply a layer of wax to the furniture with paste wax. Before waxing, wipe off the old wax with mild non-alkaline soapy water.

　　8. Use mats under hot plates whenever possible to prevent food and soup from spilling and staining or damaging the table.

　　Maintenance methods of leather chaise longue:

　　Method 1: The key to maintaining a leather chaise longue is its ability to breathe, so it should be cleaned regularly. It's best to use a leather care cream to keep the leather's pores free of dust. Also, avoid frequent ventilation in the room; excessive dryness or humidity can accelerate leather aging. Method 2: Avoid direct sunlight on chaise longues. If your living room receives frequent sunlight, consider periodically rotating the chaise longues to prevent noticeable color differences. If the humidity is high, expose them to low-level sunlight between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM for one hour daily for seven days, approximately every three months.

　　Method 2: To extend the service life, avoid children jumping and playing on the chaise longue, and avoid direct contact of sweaty bodies with the chaise longue. Apply a layer of maintenance cream to the chaise longue regularly. The healthier and more environmentally friendly ones are: Parker's genuine leather chaise longue maintenance cream.

　　Maintenance methods of fabric chaise longue:

　　To keep your fabric chaise longue cover in good shape, cleaning and maintenance are very important.

　　Method 1: Vacuum regularly, preferably weekly. You can wipe with a towel, but most households will likely use a vacuum cleaner. Be careful not to use a brush, as this can damage the fabric's threads and make them fluffy. Also, avoid using excessive suction, as this can cause the threads to break. Consider using a smaller vacuum cleaner.

　　Method 2: It is best to clean the fabric chaise longue cover once a year with detergent, but the detergent must be thoroughly washed off afterwards, otherwise it will be more susceptible to dirt. If there are stains, wipe them with a clean cloth dipped in water. In order to avoid leaving marks, it is best to wipe from the outside of the stain.

　　Velvet furniture: Avoid contact with water and use dry cleaning agents. Fabric chaise longue covers: Chair covers are generally washable. Elastic covers can be washed in the washing machine at home, while larger cotton or linen covers can be taken to the laundry.

　　Tips : When ironing a cover, be aware that some elastic covers dry easily and require no ironing. Even if you do iron, consider the appearance of the fabric, so ironing the inside of the cover is best. Cotton covers should not be ironed.

　　Fabric chaise covers aren't as wear-resistant as leather ones, so avoid sitting in the same seat frequently. If pilling occurs, remove it with a pair of scissors. If the cushion is reusable, flip it weekly to evenly distribute wear. You can also take the cushion outdoors and pat it regularly to loosen the fibers and maintain the cover's elasticity. If you find loose threads, don't tear them apart by hand; trim them neatly with scissors.

　　Cleaning the chaise longue

　　How to clean a wooden chaise longue:

　　Method 1: Frequently use cork to remove dust from furniture along the grain of the wood. Before removing dust, apply some spray cleaner (such as Pledge) on a soft cloth.

　　Method 2: When using, place a mat under the hot plate to prevent food and soup from spilling and staining or damaging the table.

　　How to clean a leather chaise longue:

　　Method 1: If the leather chaise longue has slight dirt, you can use furniture maintenance wax to clean it directly.

　　Method 2: When a leather chaise longue is severely soiled, it not only loses its original luster, but also penetrates into the leather's pores. To clean this dirt, you need to use a steamer specifically designed for chaise longue cleaning and a dedicated cleaning agent. When using a chaise longue steamer, first perform a test on an inconspicuous area to see if the leather has faded. If so, use another method.

　　Method 3: After cleaning, apply a layer of professional protective liquid to the chaise longue to prevent dirt from seeping into the leather pores again and causing secondary pollution. It is best to use a liquid soft wax specially made for leather chaise longues as the protective liquid will otherwise harden and age quickly.

　　Do not use water to scrub the leather chaise longue, as this will harden the leather over time and make it lose its softness. To prevent changes in the softness and color of the leather chaise longue, the leather chaise longue should be placed away from direct sunlight.

　　Cleaning method of fabric chaise longue:

　　Like fabric sofas, some fabric chaise longues can be disassembled and washed. So how do you wash the disassembled and washable chaise longues and the non-disassembled ones? Maybe what you knew before was wrong. There are ways to remove some stains.

　　Cleaning method of detachable fabric chaise longue:

　　Method 1: Cleaning of cotton fabric chaise longue: It can be washed in low-temperature water, but try not to use a washing machine to wash it, and do not use bleach to wash it to avoid fading.

　　Method 2: Jacquard fabric: Its advantage is that it is not easy to fade and can be machine washed. However, if the fabric contains artificial cotton, rayon, etc., it must be dry cleaned.

　　Note: Whether it is printed fabric or jacquard fabric, when the fabric is made of natural fibers that are easy to shrink, such as linen and wool, it can only be dry cleaned.

　　Cleaning method of non-detachable fabric chaise longue:

　　Method 1: Dust cleaning: First use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust on the surface of the fabric chaise longue, then wipe it gently with a towel. Remember not to scrub it with a lot of water, so as to avoid water penetrating into the chaise longue and causing the edge frame inside the chaise longue to become damp, deform, and shrink the chaise longue fabric.

　　Method 2: Cleaning of colored beverages such as coffee: If coffee or other beverages drip onto the chaise longue fabric, immediately take a towel dipped in warm water to absorb the beverage from the chaise longue fabric. The sooner you deal with it, the better. If it is left for a long time and becomes a stain, it will be difficult to deal with.

　　Method 3: Cleaning of chaise longue with velvet fabric surface: Use a clean brush dipped in a little diluted alcohol to sweep it again, and then blow dry with a hair dryer. In case of juice stains, mix a little baking soda with clean water, and then wipe it with a cloth, the stains can also be removed.
