How to Care & Clean Your Furnishings
Now that you’ve invited Ashley HomeStore into your home, you’ll want to enjoy the furnishings
for years to come. To ensure that you do, we encourage you to follow through with proper care
and cleaning. This useful guide covers all types of furniture—from upholstered to painted—and
mattresses and rugs.
Fabric Upholstered Furniture
We offer countless options in upholstery—from fine leather and skillfully matched manmade
alternatives (faux leather), to cotton, nylon, polyester, rayon and wool blends. For your
reference, our upholstered products have a tag either under one of the seat cushions or beneath
the unit itself. The tag provides a universal cleaning code indicating best cleaning practices.
