Here are some tips from furniture experts Don Maibach and Pat Dimitroff on caring for a sofa:

– Vacuum weekly. Dust and other dirt get rubbed against the fibers, and they can wear out the fabric prematurely.

– Flip seat cushions once a month.

– If the sofa has back pillows, fluff them monthly.

– Don’t eat on the couch.

– Consider having the sofa treated with a stain protector.
