Furniture Care

Just like a fine article of clothing, upholstered furniture needs proper cleaning and care on a regular basis. For maximum comfort and long-term enjoyment, we recommend the following:

  • Frequent vacuuming — Upholstered furniture should be vacuumed once a month to remove the dust and dirt which damage fabric fibers and cause premature wear.
  • Clean spills immediately — Spills and accidents can permanently stain upholstery fabrics. Even a water spill can cause permanent damage to some fabrics if not cleaned up immediately. Be careful to follow the recommended cleaning procedures described on the label beneath the seat cushions.
  • If possible, fluff pillows and rotate cushions — Our upholstered furniture is made to be soft and conform to the user's body with use. Often it will not return to its original shape after use unless the cushions and back pillows are plumped by hand. Be sure to hand fluff pillows and cushions to maintain their shape. This becomes more necessary as the upholstered furniture ages through repeated use.
  • Cushions should be rotated once a week to distribute normal wear to both sides of the cushion.
  • Avoid excessive exposure to natural light — Exposure to natural light can cause some fabrics and leathers to fade. Care should be taken to limit the amount of sunlight on any piece of furniture. Fading is not covered under product warranties.
  • A note on leather care — Different leathers have different care characteristics. Refer to care label under seat cushions for proper care instructions of the leather on your furniture.

How to Care for Leather

The most important step you can take to protect your investment is to avoid direct sunlight and heating/cooling sources. Leather is a natural product that is very durable and beautiful. Leather upholstery should be dusted occasionally with a lint-free cloth. Blot spills immediately with distilled water and a soft cotton cloth.

Cleaning Codes and Cleaning Methods

In all cases, dry cleaning by a professional furniture cleaning service is recommended. To prevent overall soil, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to remove dust or grime is recommended.
