# How to Care for a Microsuede Sofa
Microsuede is a synthetic material made from polyester designed to look and feel like natural suede. Microsuede resists staining and wear, but it requires basic care and maintenance to keep it looking and performing its best. Spot clean and vacuum your microsuede sofa regularly to prevent a buildup of stains or debris. Microsuede can be safely machine washed for deeper cleaning if the covers are removable. With the proper care, you can maintain the luxurious appeal of your microsuede sofa.
