Care and Cleaning of Fabric

To clean fabric, you must first determine the type of fabric and find the recommended cleaning code. This information can be found on the tag attached to the furniture.

Cleaning Codes:

W - Use a water based cleaning agent or foam.

S - Use a mild, water free, dry cleaning agent.

WS - Either a water-based cleaning agent, a dry cleaning solvent or foam type cleaner may be used.

X - Do not use a foam or liquid cleaner of any type. To clean, vacuum or brush lightly to remove soil.

For any type of cleaning, we recommend that a professional upholstery cleaner be contacted. If you have further questions relating to your particular piece of furniture, please contact your dealer.

Care and Cleaning of Leather

Leather is a natural material that when properly cared for will maintain its beauty and appearance for years.

General Care Tips:

  • Vacuum and dust often, using a crevice tool in seams.
  • Though leather is resistant to fading, direct exposure to sunlight can cause any material to fade over time, including leather. Therefore, it's important to keep your leather furniture away from windows, skylights or other intense light sources when possible.
  • Keep your leather furniture at least 12" away from radiators and other heat generators to prevent drying and possible cracking.
  • If spills occur, attend to them quickly. Blot the stain rather than rubbing.
  • Do not leave newspapers on leather furniture. The ink in the newsprint may rub onto the leather. This is true for all upholstery.
  • Take extra care with sharp instruments and animal claws. Leather is much stronger than fabric but can puncture with force, causing the need for an expensive repair.
  • Never use harsh cleaners, chemicals or saddle soaps because they may damage the finish. Before using any cleaner, test-clean on a hidden area.
  • Depending on use, lighter colors may require more frequent maintenance than darker colors.
