surface by building up over time.
Make sure all surfaces are protected from heat and liquids by mats and coasters. Wipe up spills
immediately.
Our furniture will endure most temperatures in the home but it is best to avoid placing
furniture next to heat sources such as radiators or fires. Be particularly careful with solid wood
as the lack of humidity caused by central heating can cause damage such as warping

Prompt attention to your stain is advisable. Clean up as much of the spill as possible with a
clean, dry, white cloth. Blot—don't rub.
If the stain has dried, remove excess by gently using a soft nylon brush.
Never use a cleaning solvent containing bleaching agents. Test a mild upholstery cleaning
solution in an inconspicuous area. Begin with a few drops of the solution on a cloth, hold it
against the color and wait a few seconds. Look to see if any of the fabric color has transferred
to the cloth or if there has been a change in the color of the fabric. If so, contact an
upholstery professional for cleaning.
Apply a small amount of a mild cleaning solution to the cloth. Oversaturation may affect the
upholstery materials (backing, foam, etc.) under the fabric.
When applying a solvent type cleaning solution, use one dry clean cloth to apply the solution
and a second cloth to blot the stain.
If cleaning instructions call for the use of any water, use distilled water only. Tap water may
contain minerals that can cause a ring.
Blot the stain with the cleaning solution. Do not rub, brush or scrub. Excessive rubbing may
cause permanent stains, color distortion or permanent damage to the fabric. Always follow
the instructions on the cleaning solution bottle.
Work from the outer edge toward the center of the stain to avoid enlarging it. The stain
should start to release as you blot.
