Everyday Care
A few small habits go a long way. Weekly and monthly maintenance keeps the sofa looking consistent, helps cushions recover their shape, and reduces deep-set dirt over time.
Weekly
- Fluff cushions lightly to maintain the relaxed look and even out the down comfort layer.
- Vacuum fabric surfaces using a soft brush attachment to lift dust, crumbs, and lint.
- Check high-contact areas (armrests, seat fronts, and chaise edges) for early signs of staining and spot-clean as needed.
Monthly
- Rotate cushions occasionally for more even wear across the seating surface.
- Gently shake or pat back cushions to redistribute fill and restore loft.
- Inspect seams and zippers to make sure covers remain properly aligned and seated.
Sofatica cushions are designed to recover naturally, especially with real goose down layers that respond well to regular fluffing and light reshaping.
Spills & Spot Cleaning
Sofatica performance fabrics are designed to resist everyday spills, which makes most cleanups straightforward. The key is responding correctly in the first few minutes.
For Fresh Spills
- Blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel.
- Do not rub. Rubbing can push liquid deeper into the fabric weave and spread the stain.
- If needed, use mild soap and cool water on a damp cloth. Work from the outside of the spill inward.
- Blot dry with a clean cloth and allow the area to air dry fully.
For Dried Stains
- Vacuum first to remove any dried particles on the surface.
- Spot clean gently using a mild detergent diluted in cool water.
- Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area before applying to a visible section.
- Blot, then air dry completely. Avoid applying heat directly to the fabric.
For persistent stains, repeated gentle spot cleaning is usually more effective than aggressive scrubbing. If you are unsure, contact Sofatica support for guidance before using stronger products.
Washable Covers
Many Sofatica fabrics feature removable, machine-washable covers. Always follow the care label and fabric-specific instructions, as washability can vary by collection.
Recommended process:
- Remove covers fully before washing and close any zippers to reduce abrasion.
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Do not use bleach or harsh stain removers.
- Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on low heat if your care label permits it.
- Reinstall covers once fully dry to help maintain fit and prevent stretching.
Washable covers are designed to simplify ownership, especially for homes with kids, pets, or frequent guests. They also reduce the need for professional cleaning for day-to-day maintenance.
Cushion Care & Comfort Longevity
Sofatica cushions use layered construction, including real goose down for comfort and supportive core materials for structure. Like any premium cushion system, the feel stays most consistent when the fill is redistributed occasionally.
To maintain comfort over time:
- Fluff cushions regularly to redistribute down and maintain loft.
- Avoid sitting in the exact same spot every day when possible, especially on chaise modules or favorite corners.
- Rotate seat cushions every few months for more even wear patterns.
- Reshape edges and corners with light patting to maintain a clean silhouette.
These simple habits help preserve the “sink-in” comfort without sacrificing support. Goose down naturally rebounds with light maintenance, and the foam core is designed to maintain structure through daily use.
Pet & Family Homes
Sofatica is built for real households, not showrooms that never get used. If your sofa is part of a busy home routine, prioritize quick cleaning habits and occasional cover washing rather than heavy treatments.
Why it works for everyday living:
- OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics designed for frequent skin contact
- Performance textiles that resist common household spills
- Washable covers that help manage fur, dirt, and accidents
Practical tips:
- Use a lint roller or vacuum brush weekly to control pet hair buildup.
- Keep nails trimmed and avoid rough play on upholstered surfaces to reduce snag risk.
- Consider a throw or cover on high-traffic zones if pets have a favorite spot.
Modular System Maintenance
Sofatica’s modular design is built to stay stable in daily use without constant adjustments.
- ModuleSecure™ connectors help keep sections aligned.
- CushionSecure™ helps reduce cushion shifting during normal sitting and lounging.
- No regular tightening or adjustment is typically required.
If you reconfigure your layout, simply ensure connectors are fully engaged and modules are seated flush. After moving modules, do a quick cushion reset (light fluffing and repositioning) so everything sits evenly.
What to Avoid
To protect fabric performance and maintain long-term appearance, avoid the following:
- Abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals
- Bleach or strong solvents
- High-heat drying on fabric covers
- Sharp objects that may snag fabric (buckles, pet claws, exposed hardware)
- Placing the sofa in direct, prolonged sunlight, which can accelerate fading over time
If your sofa sits in a bright room, consider rotating modules periodically or using window treatments during peak sun hours to minimize uneven exposure.
