What are the precautions for using the daybed?

1. Don't always sit on the soft daybed. If the sofa is too soft, the support of the body's centre of gravity will be unstable. People will move their bodies intentionally or unintentionally to seek new balance and stability. Therefore, sitting on a soft sofa for a long time will tire people. At the same time, it is difficult to maintain the normal physiological radian of the spine when sitting on a soft sofa. Over a long period, it will make the back muscles tense and induce or aggravate low back pain.

2. Children should not sleep on the sofa as a bed. Children should not sit on the sofa for a long time, let alone sleep on the sofa as a bed. Because sitting or lying on the sofa for a long time, if the posture is improper, the sofa will exert some abnormal tension and pressure on the muscle tissue, which will cause excessive growth of collagen over time. Excessive production of collagen will react, causing muscle pain and affecting the bones' normal development over time.

What are the misunderstandings about the daybed?

Exposed to the sun can sterilize fabric sofa at high temperatures (wrong)

In summer, the cloth sofa is exposed to the sun when the sun is shining. Indeed, sun exposure can undoubtedly kill bacteria, but it is very harmful to fabric sofas. The temperature change will affect the fabric's colour, cause fading and discolouration, make the fabric hard and affect the comfort of the fabric sofa.

Frequently slapping the cloth sofa can remove dust (wrong)

Many people have a misconception about the dust removal of the sofa, believing that regular tapping can effectively remove dust and keep the cushion clean. The cushion does not need to be patted frequently. You can clean it regularly. Frequent tapping of the cushion will loosen the cotton inside the cushion, resulting in deformation of the cushion.

Clean the leather sofa with soapy water (wrong)

To clean and maintain the leather sofa, it is not recommended to use soapy water, detergent, care wax, etc. Because soapy water, detergent and other cleaning products can not effectively remove the dust accumulated on the furniture surface, and because such products are corrosive, they will damage the furniture surface and make it dull. In addition, if the water penetrates the wood, it will also cause the wood to become mouldy or partially deformed, shortening the service life of the sofa.

Now many pieces of furniture are made of fiberboard machines. If water seeps into it, formaldehyde and other additives have not been completely volatilized in the first two years, so large-scale mildew will not occur. However, once the additives volatilize, the moisture of the wet cloth will cause the furniture to become mouldy. If the residents with lower floors live, their furniture may become mouldy yearly.

Spray wax on the leather sofa for maintenance (wrong)

Many instructions for furniture care and wax spraying write that you can use it to maintain the leather sofa, causing many homemakers to make mistakes. The sales associates in furniture stores know that you can only use furniture care spray wax to spray the surface of wooden furniture, not the sofa. This is because the leather sofa is the skin of animals. Once the wax is sprayed on it, you will block the pores of leather products. Over time, the leather will age and shorten its service life.

In addition, to make the furniture look shiny, some people directly smear some wax products on the furniture or use them improperly, making the furniture surface have fog-like spots instead.

Maintain the leather sofa and rub it vigorously (wrong)

Don't rub the leather sofa vigorously during maintenance so as not to cause wear of surface materials. Use a dry cotton cloth for regular cleaning. Do not wipe the leather surface of the sofa too hard. Avoid scratching the leather surface with sharp tools; it is better to place it in a dry and ventilated place.
