Fabric & Upholstery Care

Vacuum regularly or brush with a nonmetallic, stiff-bristle brush to remove dust and grime.
Reverse and rotate seat and back cushions to increase longevity.
Protect from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Don’t remove the seat or back cushion casings for cleaning. Unlike slip covered cushion casings, upholstered casings are not meant to be removed.
Don’t wait until severe soiling before cleaning. The more soiling, the less likelihood of restoring fabric.
Overall professional cleaning is recommended approximately every 12 to 24 months.

Pat spills immediately with a soft white cloth.
Know your fabric’s Spot Cleaning Code so you can act fast if a spill occurs.
Always test cleaners first in an inconspicuous place.
Do not saturate fabric with cleaner.
Pat instead of rubbing to avoid altering surface texture. (Pile fabrics may need a nonmetallic, stiff-bristle brush to restore their appearance.)
Clean stains from the outer edges in to prevent “circling".

Vacuum or dust using a soft cloth dampened with distilled water for routine maintenance.

Never use detergents, polishes, preserves or saddle soap. They can remove natural oils.
Most surface scratches will fade over time if you rub them with your fingertips. The warmth of your hand releases natural oils that help marks disappear.
