How to take care of your upholstered furniture.

Upholstered pieces should be vacuumed or brushed once a week to remove soil and help to prevent the embedding of dirt or grime between fibers, which can increase abrasion and wear. You should also rotate cushions if possible to get more even wear.

Spills and spots should be attended to immediately. Blot up as much of a spill as possible and then clean according to the cleaning codes shown below. The cleaning code should be shown on the decking under the cushions. If you cannot find the cleaning code call the service department of the store where the item was purchased. As with all cleaning products it is best to pretest in a small inconspicuous area before proceeding to clean the front of your sofa. We recommend that you use a professional cleaning service when the upholstered piece needs to be cleaned. Do not unzip the cushions to have only the covers cleaned. The covers may shrink and/or loose their shape.
