The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Togo Sofa: Maintenance, Cleaning & Longevity Tips

Togo sofas by Ligne Roset (and high-quality replicas) are made with distinctive low-slung foam structures and no inner frame. Their signature slouchy silhouette and pleated covers make them incredibly cozy—but also require mindful maintenance to retain shape and cleanliness.

If you've invested in a Togo, you're likely seeking both style and long-term comfort. Here’s how to care for it properly, based on fabric type.

🧼 Daily & Weekly Togo Sofa Maintenance

✅ Daily Tips

• Fluff and adjust the sections daily to maintain shape and support.

• If you eat or drink nearby, use throws or sofa protectors to avoid accidental stains.

• Wipe spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never let moisture soak in.

🌀 Weekly Routine

• Vacuum the surface using a soft brush attachment to remove dust, crumbs, and pet hair.

• Gently shake cushions (if detachable) and rotate seating spots to avoid uneven wear.

• Use a lint roller for quick upkeep on velvet or suede surfaces.

🧵 Fabric-Specific Togo Sofa Cleaning Guide

1. Suede Togo Sofa Care

Suede is a luxurious and delicate material that needs special attention:

Do:

• Use a suede brush weekly to restore texture.

• Spot clean using white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio), applied lightly with a microfiber cloth.

• Keep suede away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Don’t:

• Avoid using water directly on suede—it can leave rings.

• Never rub a stain harshly; blot gently.

🧴 Pro tip: Apply a suede protector spray after professional cleaning to repel stains and liquids.

2. Velvet Togo Sofa Care

Velvet is soft and elegant but prone to pressure marks:

Do:

• Vacuum with a soft nozzle weekly.

• Use a steamer to lift crushed areas and restore the nap.

• Blot spills with a dry towel immediately—avoid rubbing.

Don’t:

• Never use harsh chemicals or bleach on velvet.

• Avoid sitting on velvet in damp clothes (moisture can stain).

🧴 Pro tip: A handheld garment steamer is your velvet Togo’s best friend.

3. Leather Togo Sofa Care

Leather is durable but requires conditioning to avoid drying out:

Do:

• Dust and vacuum regularly to prevent dirt buildup.

• Use a damp cloth followed by a dry wipe for general cleaning.

• Condition the leather every 3–6 months using a leather cream.

Don’t:

• Never use alcohol-based cleaners—they dry out the leather.

• Avoid excessive sunlight and heat exposure (it can cause cracking).

🧴 Pro tip: Always test leather cleaners in an inconspicuous spot first.

🧺 How to Remove Common Togo Sofa Stains

⚠️ Always check manufacturer fabric tags before applying any cleaning product.

🛋️ How to Keep the Shape of Your Togo Sofa

Because the Togo is made entirely of foam, it can lose shape over time if not maintained.

Tips to prevent sagging:

• Avoid sitting in the same spot every time.

• Gently push and redistribute foam weekly with your hands.

• Don’t place heavy objects (like trays or decor) on the sofa for extended periods.

• Rotate sections if you have a modular setup.

🧑🔧 When to Professionally Clean Your Togo Sofa

While regular maintenance is key, professional deep cleaning is recommended at least once a year—especially if your sofa sees daily use.

Look for upholstery cleaning services that:

• Specialize in delicate materials (like suede or velvet)

• Use steam or dry-clean methods

• Offer protective treatments post-cleaning

🧾 Typical cost: $80–$250 depending on fabric, size, and location.

☀️ Bonus: Preventative Care Tips

• Keep away from direct sunlight to avoid fading and fabric damage.

• Use a slipcover or throw in high-traffic homes (especially with pets or kids).

• Maintain a stable room temperature—avoid placing the Togo near heaters or AC units.
