UPHOLSTERY

General Care

Rotate cushions and toss pillows periodically to ensure even wear and lasting comfort.
Keep upholstery out of direct sunlight and away from heat or moisture to reduce fading and damage.
Vacuum occasionally using the upholstery attachment.
Light fabric pilling is natural—use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills over time.
For deep cleaning, we recommend using a trusted professional upholstery cleaner.

General Cleaning Guidelines

Always follow the instructions on upholstery cleaners carefully and avoid overuse.
Pre-test any cleaner on a hidden area to ensure color safety and fabric compatibility.
When spot cleaning, use an undyed absorbent cloth and blot gently from the outer edge inward.
Avoid hard-bristled brushes and aggressive rubbing, which can damage fibers.
