Technical information & care guide
Cleaning/regular maintenance
Dust settles on your upholstery and can not only spoil the look and colour of the fabric, but can also accelerate wear and tear as it contains abrasive and gritty particles which can cut and break down fibres. Care should be taken not to use a high pressure vacuum cleaner when cleaning feather filled cushions. There is the possibility that feathers could be pulled through the cover
Sunlight
Do protect your upholstery from prolonged exposure to sunlight as this may cause fading and in some excessive cases may cause the fabric to deteriorate. On sunny days draw the curtains or pull down the blind. Avoid placing the furniture close to a source of direct heat such as a fire or radiator. Velvets especially can be permanently damaged by leaning against a radiator.
Wooden feet
Please appreciate that all our wooden products are made from a high quality natural timber. Natural timber will display small colour variations which have to be accepted as a feature of purchasing a product of this quality.
Castors
We recommend that you check the condition of your castor feet on a regular basis. This action is suggested on the basis that a damaged or faulty castor could dirty or damage both wood and carpeted floors.
Spot cleaning
Accidents happen and all stains and spills should be dealt with quickly (with the exception of mud, which should be left to dry and then lightly brushed off). Soak up any spills as soon as possible using a clean white cloth or white kitchen paper.
Specialist cleaning - fixed cover furniture
We would recommend that the cleaning of your furniture is best left to a specialist cleaning company. It is important that cleaning is done before dirt or soiling becomes too ingrained. We would advise that the cleaning is carried out on the piece in its entirety. Do not take cushions to be dry cleaned separately as this could result in a mismatch of colours.
Servicemaster is a specialist cleaning company and can be contacted on www.servicemasterclean.co.uk. They will be able to direct you to their closest representative.
Cushion interior care
We select only the highest grades of filling materials for our cushions. However, after constant use, if may be found that your cushion will show signs of compression. For this reason it is recommended that the cushions are 'plumped' on a regular basis in order to maintain loft and appearance. It is also recommended that cushions are turned andalternated on a regular basis in order to minimize wear and tear
