UPHOLSTERY CARE TIPS
To keep your furniture clean, it's necessary to conduct routine maintenance (e.g. vacuuming, immediate attention to spills), coupled with periodic cleaning by a certified technician every 12 to 24 months. Furniture and fabric manufacturers recommend that consumers not wait until severe soiling occurs before cleaning because the greater the soiling, the less the likelihood of restoring the fabric's original color, appearance and texture; and the greater adverse effect on indoor environmental quality.

Regular cleaning of fabric and leather furnishings by a trained, certified professional can help restore your furniture's appearance, extend its life, and keep it looking like new. Moreover, certified professionals can offer simple suggestions to maintain a clean and healthy home or business environment overall.

Follow the simple guidelines below to keep all your upholstered furniture looking like new:

To avoid fading, keep upholstered home furniture away from direct sunlight.

Vacuum upholstered furniture as often as possible. Even if your home furniture has seen little use, the abrasive action of dirt and dust particles can wear the fibers of your upholstery fabric. For high-use furniture, it's a good idea to frequently beat the cushions and then vacuum and rotate them.

Damp-dust arms and headrest areas with a cleaning solution to prevent body oil accumulation on the upholstery fabric (be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendation as to the type of upholstery cleaning solution to use.

Avoid placing newspapers directly on home furniture upholstery fabric, since ink will accumulate and is difficult to remove.

Never cover your upholstered home furniture with dark-colored blankets, sheets, etc., because the dyes can rub off onto fabric when dry or bleed when wet.

Avoid the use of dyes, paints, inks and nail polishes around your upholstery fabric, since these substances alter color and will stain.

Never remove cushion covers for dry cleaning or machine washing, even though they have zippers.

Periodic professional cleaning will keep soil accumulation from marring the beauty of the upholstery of your living room, dining room and bedroom furniture.
