Care & Maintenance
Indoor Upholstery
Fabric Upholstery
Vacuum the product frequently on a low to medium setting, preferably with an upholstery nozzle, and be careful not to rub the material with force as this potentially could damage the textile.
Spot Clean
Treat spills immediately. Blot up as much of the spill as possible with a clean, dry, white cloth. When dusting or spot-cleaning, always use a clean, white cloth— colored cloths can stain your fabric. Do not rub, rubbing can damage fabrics. Remove stains by patting the area gently with a cloth wrung in lukewarm to hot water (preferably distilled), start from the outer rim of the spill and work toward the center. If the stain is persistent we recommend using an environmentally friendly mild detergent, and then again patting the area down. If using soap or a cleaning agent, always test clean your fabric in an inconspicuous area first to gauge your fabric’s response and colorfastness. Always spray cleaner onto a cloth (never directly onto furniture). Do not use any chemical products on your upholstery. If pilling should occur, don’t be alarmed. It’s a result of excess fiber coming off the fabric or from external sources. This is not a defect but a characteristic of many upholstered fabrics and textiles. To remove pilling, use an antipilling machine.
If the stain remains, we recommend getting the fabric dry cleaned professionally.
Caution: After cleaning, always wait at least 24 hours, or until completely dry before using your furniture (a hairdryer on low can be used to speed up the drying process).
Avoid Sunlight
Upholstered furniture may be affected by exposure to direct sunlight or heat, consequently we recommend to avoid placing the products next to windows, radiators or fireplaces.
Professional Cleaning
For best results, we recommend using professional upholstery cleaning services. It is best to have a professional clean your upholstered furniture every couple of years or so.
Leather Care
Regular Maintenance: As leather is semi-aniline, it will mark and patinate over time as it comes into contact with the natural oils from skin, and moisture. Vacuum the product with a soft brush frequently on a low to medium setting and be careful not to rub the material with force as this potentially could damage the leather. Then wipe with a white cloth dampened with distilled water to remove any remaining dust. Leather cleaners and conditioners will help maintain leather. Use a towel to evenly dry the leather. Do not use a hairdryer as it is likely to dehydrate the leather.
Stain Removal: If liquids are spilled on the leather, we recommend acting quickly and dabbing up as much as possible with a dry cloth or paper. Take care not to rub the surface, since this may spread the mark or push dirt into the pores of the leather.
Caution: Avoid placing your leather furniture in direct sunlight and near sources of excessive heat such as fireplaces and radiators. Do not use furniture polishes or waxes. Do not use household detergents or solvents.
Solid or Aniline Leather Upholstery
Vacuum frequently with a soft brush. For stains, use boiled water with a natural soap: Whisp 2-3 tablespoons of soap flakes into 1 litre of water and use the foam. Apply the foam with a soft cloth, let it dry and wipe off the leather thoroughly with a soft cotton cloth.
Nubuck Leather Upholstery
Vacuum frequently with a soft brush only. Water or soap cannot be applied.
