Care Guide

To keep your furniture looking showroom fresh we recommend the following :-

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

In the vast majority of cases regular maintenance can be done simply by vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, and giving your upholstery a wipe down using a sponge and a mild detergent solution.

Over 850 of the fabrics we offer on furniture are either machine washable or come already stain treated.

Removable covers can be machine washed - select a 30 degree gentle cycle, reduce the spin speed and after washing drip dry. Do not tumble dry or place covers directly on a heat source such as a radiator. Re-fit covers whilst still slightly damp - as they fully dry out they will naturally re-conform to the cushion shape.

Tougher Stains

It can happen that from time to time more stubborn stains and spills may occur, in which case proceed as follows:

• WINE STAINS - mop up excess liquid as soon as possible by dabbing with kitchen towel. For red wine, a good solution is to liberally sprinkle table salt on the affected area and to then pour white wine on top - this helps to neutralise the effect. For white wine, dab the affected area with methylated spirit, then rinse the area with a weak vinegar solution.

• INK / FELT TIP / BALLPOINT PENS - Dab affected area with methylated spirit
  
  
• SHOE POLISH / LIPSTICK - Use a proprietary cleaning agent - Stain Devil make awide selection of specialist solvent
  
  
• NAIL POLISH - Dab affected area with Ethyl
  
  
• CHEWING GUM - You first need to harden the A great way to do this, if feasible, is to put the affected cushion cover in a freezer -once frozen the gum should come off in one piece. If this is not possible then treat with a freeze sprayand remove in the same way. If the gum is stubborn to remove, use Ethyl acetate and this will break it down.

Some of our fabrics feature a revolutionary nanotechnology anti-stain finish, which can be cleaned with just water alone.. The anti-stain treatment is applied to individual yarn filaments prior to weaving, so every bit of the fabric is fully protected.
