- Plump up cushions to stop them from creasing and flattening. Turn reversible cushions regularly to enhance their appearance and comfort.
- Where possible, reposition upholstery in your room to give more equal seat usage.
- Lightly vacuum fabric-covered upholstery once a week to prevent dust from building up. Accumulated dirt will dull colours and speed up wear.
- When cleaning leather furniture, dust with a soft bruch weekly and wipe with a damp cloth. Do not useplishes, detergents, solvents, white spirit or stain removers in case they damage the leather. Clean quarterly by qiping over with a lukewarm mild solution of a pure soaping agent. It is important not to wet the leather. Failure to carry out simple cleaning on a regular basis can reduce the life of your leather upholstery.
- Do not leave newspapers on your sofa or chairs, as the ink can stain.
- Avoid sitting on upholstery with heavy soiled or non-colourfast clothing, particularly with light-coloured covers.
- Direct sunlight can cause fading so protect furniture by drawing curtains and blinds whenever possible.
- Avoid sitting om the arms of chairs and sofas to prevent wear and tear. While we know children live jumping on sofas, they can damage the cushion covers and seat.
- Care should be taken with sharp-edged toys, buckles and jewellery. Trim off loose threads with sharp scissors as pulling them could leave a hole.
- Recliner mechanisms should be operated with care, and children should refrain from playing on them.
- Keep furniture away from direct heat or air-conditioning as this can cause joints to dry out and crack.
- Keep pets off furniture to avoid scratches or marks.
- Removable armcaps are available on selected models.
- In the event of accidents or severe soiling, please contact us for further advice.
