Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and
heat can damage your fabrics and cause
them to fade and potentially fray. Protect
by placing your furniture away from
prolonged direct sunlight or by drawing
curtains or blinds.
Vacuuming helps to eliminate dirt before it
becomes embedded in the fabrics.
Dust can be removed by pre-brushing
gently with a soft brush.
Loose threads can be trimmed off neatly
with sharp scissors.
Curtains are dry clean only and should
never be laundered in a washing machine.
Spillage and stains
Due to the variety of fabrics used, these
instructions are for general guidelines only.
Soiling can occur from the clothing
you wear when using your upholstery
and some fabrics, for example denim
can transfer dye onto your covering.
Newspaper ink from your hands or direct
from the paper will stain very readily. Food

and drinks can soil and stain the material
and any accidents should be dealt with
straight away. Liquids need to be soaked
up quickly.
Please see the below guidelines on
removal or spillages and stains:
• Do not soak or allow fabrics to get wet.
• Never rub or scrub with wet cloth
to remove spills or stains as this will
damage the fabric and can remove
colour.
• Do not use washing liquid, detergents or
bleach to remove stains.
• Liquid spills: blot or soak up immediately
using dry, soft colour absorbent cloth
using a dabbing action.
• Solid spills (food and mud): remove
excess gently before dabbing to
clean stains.
• Water based stains: dab using a
specialist upholstery shampoo sparingly.
Do not soak.
• Pen, Ink, Fruit or blood: use a
specialist cleaner.
• Oil based stains (butter, margarine,
cream etc.): use a spot remover
containing dry cleaning fluid which can
be obtained from most supermarkets or
hardware stores. Follow manufacturer's
instructions, testing products on a hidden
area first to ensure it does not damage
fabric of affect colours.
• For stubborn spots and stains we
recommend professional cleaning by a
specialist service.

Routine Cleaning
It is good practice to clean equipment
immediately after use. Most deposits can
be removed by washing with soap or mild
detergent and hot water, followed by a
clean water rinse and drying with a soft
cloth to prevent water spotting. For more
tenacious deposits a non-abrasive multi-
purpose cream cleaner may be used. This
should be applied with a soft damp cloth
followed by a clean water rinse and drying.
