Velvet furniture will certainly make a space pop — its vibrant material is deep and rich, and comes in an array of color choices. But, it can end up looking quite tired if you've not cleaned your sofa for a while. Just as with any other fabric sofa, velvet can gather dust and fall victim to spills and stains, but it's not quite as robust as some other textiles, and will need a little bit of maintenance to keep it looking its best.
Learning how to clean a velvet sofa is all about the softly softly approach. It doesn't take much, but it still needs to be done with patience and care. As for how often you should clean your velvet sofa, Ken Doty cleaning expert at The Maids tells us: “Velvet furniture should be vacuumed weekly at the least to stay on top of dust or pet dander that can damage fibers. Deep cleaning should be reserved for a yearly or bi-yearly cadence depending on if you have children. A larger family should think about cleaning twice a year or at most three times a year.”
