Cushions

Plump your cushions regularly. Vigorously plump and pat your cushions into shape if they contain fibre or feather. Cushions with foam content will lose some of their hardness within a few weeks of wear. Regularly turning reversible cushions and changing their position helps maintain shape or prolong life.

If the cushions are not turned and plumped regularly they may begin to look out of shape. If this happens unzip the cover, reposition the interior and follow the steps above.

Cover

Avoid direct sunlight , sharp objects and spillages. Sunlight can cause the covers to fade , discolour and rot. Protect your fabric by drawing curtains or blinds. Similarly direct heat from radiators, heaters or fires can cause these effects; reposition your furniture away from any of these possible source. Cat's claws , jewellery, buckles , rivets etc. can cause this. If a snag appears do not pull it or cut it just tuck it in.

Velvets

Avoid getting velvets wet as it can permanently damage the appearence of the pile and any finish the velvet may have.

Stains & Spills

With spillages , act quickly. Absorb the spillage with dry white kitchen paper or a white cloth. Do not rub or soak the fabric or allow the stain to set. Do not use proprietary cleaners or any other household cleaner. Contact professional upholstery cleaner

Regular Cleaning

Vacuum clean your upholstery at least once a week; dust removal may be improved by pre-brushing with a soft brush. Accumulated dirt will accelerate wear and dull colours.

Your furniture has been hand made and engineered to last for years, treating it carefully will help prolong its life and look. Do not allow the furniture to be used as a trampoline, climbing frame or any other such use. Likewise do not sit on the arm or edge of the cushions, as they will wear pre-maturely.

Professional Upholstery Cleaning

Sooner or later your upholstery may require cleaning . At that time have it cleaned by a bona fide upholstery cleaning specialist. We would advise that you do not attempt this yourself as the cleaning materials and methods are specific to the fabric type. The weaving, dying and finishing of upholstery fabrics is complex and technically particular to the type of fabric.

Zips

The zips on your upholstery and cushions are not necessarily there so the covers can be removed, but as a method of effectively fitting interiors during manufacture. Your upholstery has been made in accordance with the relevant fire retardancy legislations and this might mean that the cover has a backcoating treatment that may be removed by the improper dry cleaning process.

Leather

No two pieces of leather are exactly the same. Beautiful colour variations and distinctive natural markings make leather furniture uniquely your own. Colour variation is a natural occurrence in top grain leathers. Each piece of leather has a different unique structure; therefore, it will absorb dye in varying amounts, causing some areas to be darker or lighter than others. Each piece of leather also contains markings known as 'natures signatures'. Healed scars, scratches, insect bites and wrinkles provide yet another dimension of individuality to your leather furniture.
