SECTION 9 – FURNITURE AND SOFTGOODS
BLINDS AND PLEATED
SHADES
Operating Instructions:
Shades should be opened or closed by pushing
the bottom rail up or pulling down with the knobs
provided. For a duplex (day/night) shade or free-
floating shade, move only one rail at a time.
Shades should remain up when not in use to aid
pleat retention. If tension adjustments become
necessary, simply wind cords around center of
the bobbin fastener to tighten or retie to loosen.
Any adjustments should be made equally on both
cords for shade to remain level. Rubbing cords
with paraffin wax (or candle) will help lengthen
the life of the cords by reducing friction and
fraying.
Cleaning Instructions:
Dry brush or vacuum only. Pleated shades
should not get wet. Use a damp cloth with mild
soap to remove small stains.
DRAPERIES/BEDSPREADS
Draperies and upholstery fabrics are treated
with fire-retardants and are dry-clean only unless
the manufacturer label indicates otherwise.
When dry cleaning, be sure to inform attendant of
fire retardant items. Spots and stains should be
removed with a non-water based commercial
spot remover manufactured for this purpose.
Washing a dry-clean only bedspread could cause
premature deterioration, fading, shrinkage and/or
possible damage.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRY OR FLUFF
BEDSPREADS OR DRAPERIES IN A
DRYER. THE BACKING MATERIAL WILL
MELT WHEN EXPOSED TO CONTINUAL
HEAT.
Professional cleaning will preserve the
finishes and appearance of these products.
FABRIC AND UPHOLSTERY
Do not laundry upholstery fabrics. Blot up
stains promptly and use an upholstery cleaner or
mild solvent, depending on the stain. Never soak
the fabric and use as little water as possible. Blot
rather than rub. Towel dry or have professionally
cleaned. Upholstery can be vacuumed regularly
using a soft brush attachment.
CARPETING
The carpeting installed is made of nylon and is
easy to maintain. Vacuum regularly to remove
abrasive grit. Water-based spills and spots should
be removed immediately with a damp cloth.
Grease or oil-based stains and spots should be
spot cleaned with a good commercial spot
cleaner made for this purpose. If complete
shampooing is desired, it is best to have it done
by a competent professional carpet cleaner.
Never soak or waterlog your carpeting.
FABRIC COLOR FADING
The minimum light fastness for home
furnishings is 40 hours of direct sunlight. In
addition, drapery fabrics are affected by gas
fading; the upholstery wallboards and carpeting
emit a gas and in extreme heat can cause fading.
Sun fading/gas fading is not a warranty item.
When storing vehicle, it is suggested to avoid
direct sun and keep ventilated to avoid heat build
up.
