Cleaning and caring for your upholstered furniture

Fabric can have a pile in the weave and look different from various angles and lighting – this is a characteristic of the material and not a fault.

– Position your upholstered furniture away from heat and sunlight which can cause colour fading and surface degradation

– Dust and vacuum weekly with the appropriate upholstery attachment

– Make sure any accidental spills are dealt with immediately. Don't rub the stain as this could cause it to spread further or set in - carefully blot the stain with a cloth until it comes up completely

– Use a clean, soft lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to remove dirt or body oils

– For tougher stains, use a soft cloth with a little non-alkaline, non-detergent soap

– Do not use bleaches or household cleaning products which can damage the dyes and surface of the upholstery

– Use a bobble remover to even out any surface areas that have bobbles. It is common for fabric sofa cushions to have bobbles from everyday use - this is not a defect nor does it affect the durability of the furniture

– Be careful with sharp objects such as studs, buckles, jewellery, heels, toys or a pet's claws on your upholstered furniture as they can cause scratches or tears

– If you notice a snag, don't pull it - instead, trim it off with scissors

– Regularly tighten any bolts to avoid damage and maintain stability and strength

– Do not drag your furniture when moving, instead lift and place it carefully

– Always follow the care instructions that came with your furniture
