To keep the fabric on your upholstered furniture looking bright, new and
inviting for as long as possible, follow these suggestions:
Periodically, lightly brush or vacuum the upholstery to remove soil particles and dust and prevent them from imbedding between fibers.
Turn and rotate cushions after vacuuming to prevent excessive wear and soil deposits.
Avoid placing newspaper on fabric. The ink will permanently stain and discolor the material.
Keep fabrics away from direct sunlight if possible.
Do not use acids, dyes, paints or nail polish near fabrics.
Do not cover fabrics with darker fabrics when having work done in the home, since dyes may rub off.
Liquid spills should be absorbed immediately. Blot with white absorbent cloth or paper towel.
Spills such as jelly or soft spills should be scooped up with a soft edge spoon. If the spill has dried up, scoop it gently and vacuum the rest.
Never throw your fabric in the washer or dryer unless the fabric says it is machine washable.
Remove the pillow forms before washing.
To spot clean, always test an area of the fabric that is not seen first, such as under a chair/sofa skirt. Let it dry, and then proceed if the results are positive. Do not oversaturate an area with any cleaning solutions.
Do not rub strongly and try not to let a stain dry.
Professional cleaning will prevent the gradual buildup of dirt and grime, but discuss with the dry cleaner any fire retardant finishes that may not endure through some methods of cleaning.
