How to keep an armchair looking like new

An armchair is designed for everyday use, but with a few basic care routines you can maintain its appearance and comfort for many years.

• Balanced use
• Regular cleaning
• Everyday care

It is not about carrying out major maintenance tasks, but about being consistent with small habits.

1. Distribute the use evenly

It is common to always use the same side or sitting position.

Try to change positions regularly to avoid uneven wear and keep the seating comfort uniform.

2. Fluff and reshape the cushions

With use, fillings adapt and may lose volume over time.

Shake and reposition the cushions regularly to maintain their shape and comfort.

3. Clean frequently

Dust and dirt affect both the appearance and durability of the armchair.

• Vacuum using a soft attachment
• Clean regularly
• Act quickly when stains appear

The sooner you clean a stain, the better the result.

4. Use the mechanisms correctly

If your armchair is a recliner:

• Do not force the mechanism
• Open and close it gently
• Make sure it is fully closed when not in use

Correct use helps prevent long-term problems.

5. Avoid bad habits

Some habits can shorten the life of the armchair:

• Sitting on the armrests
• Dragging it to move it
• Using it incorrectly

Small details can make a big difference.

6. Protect the fabric

• Avoid direct sunlight exposure
• Keep away from heat sources
• Be careful with objects that could snag the fabric

This will help preserve both the colour and condition of the upholstery.
