Simmons Sofa Maintenance Tips

A Simmons sofa can be a great addition to any home. Simmons products are not only beautiful and stylish, but they are also very durable. While a Simmons sofa will surely last a long time because of quality construction and materials, you can’t stop small accidents like tears and spills. So, if you own a Simmons and you want to make sure it stays clean for a long time, here are some tips for caring and maintaining your sofa.

Stains can make even the newest sofas look dirty and older than it is. Some stains can also cause odors to stick, as well as diminish some of the fibers of the upholstery. You should treat the sofa with a stain resistant spray as soon as possible. Clean up any stain as soon as possible. Remember to blot (not rub) stains to pick them up. Some sofas may have removable covers that you can just wash in the machine.
In some instances, spills can seep through the covers and into the cushions. In such cases, this can be a problem because you may end up with a stinky cushion as damp conditions can cause mold to grow. Stains like pet urine can also stick around for a long time. Don’t place the cushion in the washing machine. You can take the cushion and hand wash it in the tub with warm water and detergent. Place it in the sun to dry. Sunshine can act like a natural deodorant. See the step by step process of sofa bed from here.
