Use and Care Manual

Upholstery
Rotate cushions and pillows weekly to distribute wear. Vacuum upholstery weekly using the upholstery
attachment and crevice tool of your vacuum to remove loose particles. Periodic cleaning by a professional
upholstery cleaning service is the only recommended cleaning method for your upholstery, including furniture
base beneath slipcovers. Annual cleaning is suggested, but this may vary depending on use. To prevent possible
“bleeding” of ink onto fabric, do not leave newspapers or other printed materials lying on upholstery. Take
special care when spraying household chemicals and commercial products near upholstery. Avoid placing your
furniture indirect sunlight.All fabric and leather will fade overtime. Applying noncommercial scented fabric
fresheners, neutralizers and fabric protectors is never recommended.
Spills and Spot Cleaning
In some cases, spot cleaning can cause a ring or fading. It is best to have the entire piece or cushion casing
cleaned by a professional upholstery cleaning service to ensure uniform results.If you decide to spot clean on
your own, check the standard cleaning code (below) to determine the correct type of product to use.
Slipcovers
Brush or vacuum at least once a month. Rotate cushions and pillows regularly.Protect from direct sunlight,which
may cause fabric to fade unevenly. Immediately blot spills with a clean white cloth. Seat and back cushions should
be reversed and/or rotated regularly.
Dry Clean-Only Slipcovers
Use a reputable dry cleaner or professional upholstery cleaner. Always dry clean the entire slip cover for uniform
results. Close all zippers and fabric tab fasteners prior to cleaning. As with clothing, some fading is to be expected.
Machine-Washable Slipcovers
Use a triple-load washer or divide slipcovers into manageable loads. Always wash the entire slipcover for uniform
results. Close all zippers and fabric tab fasteners prior to washing. Wash in cold water with mild detergent.
Tumble dry on low until slightly damp;remove promptly to reduce wrinkling. Do not line-dry slipcovers as this may
stretch the fabric. As with clothing, some fading is to be expected.
