Proper care and maintenance will keep your furniture looking beautiful for years to come. Just like a fine article of clothing, upholstered furniture needs proper cleaning and care on a regular basis.
Avoid placing your fabric and leather upholstery in direct sunlight and maintain a safe distance from any heat source. Exposure to natural light can cause fabrics and leathers to fade. Care should be taken to limit the amount of light on any piece of furniture.
Fading from sunlight exposure is not covered under warranty, so proper placement is essential for maintaining your furniture's appearance.
Vacuum your fabric upholstery often to prevent dust and other debris from becoming embedded in the fabric. Use the upholstery attachment to vacuum the surface of your upholstery as well as underneath the cushions.
Upholstered furniture should be vacuumed at least once a month to remove dust and dirt which damage fabric fibers and cause premature wear.
Clean all spills immediately, including water spills. Spills and accidents can permanently stain upholstery fabrics. Even a water spill can cause permanent damage to some fabrics if not cleaned up immediately.
When spills occur, blot the stain rather than wiping to prevent spreading and deeper penetration into the fabric.
An annual professional cleaning will keep your upholstered furniture looking at its best. Maintenance requires promptly treating spots and stains and should include routine, on-going care which reduces soil build-up on a fabric's surface.
Do not rub or brush excessively, or you may cause fuzzing. Professional cleaning is recommended for best results.
Spot clean this fabric with only the foam of a water-based cleaning agent to remove soil. Do not saturate the fabric.
Cleaning should be performed by a professional furniture cleaning service, using a solvent based cleaning agent. Do not use water.
Clean water type stains with water-based cleaning agents and for oil type stains, use solvent-based cleaning agents, both designed for upholstery. Do not saturate.
Spot clean this fabric with only the foam of a water-based cleaning agent or with a pure solvent in a well-ventilated room.
Cleaning should be performed by a professional furniture cleaning service, using a solvent-based cleaning agent. Do not use any tumble method cleaning service as this may damage the fabric. Never remove cushion covers for dry cleaning, even though they have zippers.
Clean only by vacuuming or light brushing with a non-metallic stiff brush. DO NOT USE WATER OR SOLVENT BASED CLEANER.
Performance Fabrics: Our performance fabrics are specially treated to resist stains and moisture. However, they still require proper care:
Performance fabrics maintain their protective properties with proper care and cleaning.
In all cases, dry cleaning by a professional furniture cleaning service is recommended. To prevent overall soil, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to remove dust or grime is recommended.
Avoid excessive rubbing or brushing as this can cause fuzzing and damage to the fabric surface.
The most important step you can take to protect your leather investment is to avoid direct sunlight and heating/cooling sources.
Leather upholstery should be dusted occasionally with a lint-free cloth. Blot spills immediately with distilled water and a soft cotton cloth.
When properly cared for, leather will maintain its beauty and appearance for many years. Take extra care with sharp instruments and animal claws. Leather is much stronger than fabric, but can be punctured by force.
Dust with soft cloth only. For spots and spills, blot excess liquid and let air dry. For oil and grease, absorb excess with dry cloth and leave alone. Avoid cleaning solutions, saddle soap, polish and wax which could damage finish. Protect from direct heat and sunlight.
Dust, clean with soft cloth slightly dampened with distilled water. For spots and spills, blot excess liquid and let air dry. For oil and grease, absorb excess with dry cloth and leave alone. Avoid cleaning solutions, saddle soap, polish and wax which could damage finish. Protect from direct heat and sunlight.
Dust, wipe with mild soap and water only, and then buff with dry cloth. For spots and spills, blot excess liquid and let air dry. For oil and grease, absorb excess with dry cloth and leave alone. Avoid cleaning solutions, saddle soap, polish and wax which could damage finish. Protect from direct heat and sunlight.
Reverse (top-to-bottom) and rotate (side-to-side) seat and back cushions often to distribute wear. Seat cushions should be rotated once a week to distribute normal wear to both sides of the cushion.
This simple maintenance step significantly extends the life of your cushions and maintains consistent comfort.
Fluffing cushions at the same time will keep the fill evenly distributed to minimize wrinkles and maintain the cushion loft and shape.
Our upholstered furniture is made to be soft and conform to the user's body with use. Often it will not return to its original shape after use unless the cushions and back pillows are plumped by hand. Be sure to hand fluff pillows and cushions to maintain their shape. This becomes more necessary as the upholstered furniture ages through repeated use.
With use, "comfort wrinkles" will begin to appear in the cushions and will be more noticeable with larger/longer cushions. This slight and expected softening of the foam and flattening of the fiber and feather components is a natural part of the upholstery maturing process and is not a material or manufacturing defect.
These wrinkles are a sign that your furniture is adapting to your comfort preferences and are considered normal wear.
LuxDown pillows require frequent fluffing to maintain the loft and shape. Feathers and down may occasionally work their way through the downproof ticking. This is normal and evidence of air properly moving through the pillow.
Daily fluffing of down pillows helps redistribute the fill and maintains their luxurious feel and appearance.
