After finding the perfect sectional couch or coffee table, you probably want to keep your new living room furniture looking as pristine as it did the day you brought it home. Your furniture gets a lot of use, and regular housekeeping will help extend the life of your favorite pieces for years to come.

If you have a busy schedule, you probably don’t have much time to deep clean your home each week. Thankfully, you can still maintain your belongings by doing these five actions:

  • Establish a Weekly Cleaning Day: The best way to get into a regular cleaning routine is to dedicate one day each week for a quick furniture cleaning. Set aside 20 minutes to fluff sofa cushions, dust decorative lamps, and spot clean the rug. 
  • Lift Away Dust & Hair: Keep a lint roller nearby to remove lint, hair, and dust that can build up on fabric furniture. This is a handy tip for pet owners who want to keep their favorite chaise fur-free. For bigger surfaces, you can also use large pieces of packing tape.
  • Vacuum Your Sofa Regularly: If you lifted up your sofa living room furniturecushions, what would you find? Your favorite weeknight lounge spot is a hotspot for food crumbs, dirt, and pet dander. Take off the cushions and use your vacuum’s upholstery attachment or a hand-held model to reach deep into the corners of the couch to remove the debris.
  • Wipe Down Leather Furniture: Leather living room furniture should be cleaned and conditioned regularly to keep the material looking supple and new. Once a week, use a damp, clean cloth to wipe down leather surfaces.
  • Steam Away Tough Spots: For carpeting and water-resistant pieces, use steam cleaning to loosen tough spots and make stains more responsive to cleaning treatments. Steam is also an easy way to remove wrinkles in drapes and curtains, especially those made from delicate materials such as silk and lace.
