Furniture Care Guide

Caring for Your Furniture

Regular care can help furniture maintain its appearance and comfort over time.

Because materials vary between products, always follow the product-specific care instructions provided with your furniture.

The recommendations below are general guidelines.

Upholstered Sofas and Chairs

For upholstered furniture:

• Vacuum gently using an upholstery attachment.
• Remove dust and loose debris regularly.
• Address spills promptly.
• Blot liquids with a clean, absorbent cloth.
• Avoid aggressively rubbing stains.
• Test cleaning products in an inconspicuous area first.
• Follow the manufacturer's cleaning code when available.

Avoid soaking upholstery with water or cleaning solution unless specifically permitted.

Fabric Furniture

Fabric can be affected by sunlight, friction, moisture, and household chemicals.

To help maintain fabric furniture:

• Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight where practical.
• Rotate removable cushions periodically.
• Fluff cushions to maintain shape.
• Avoid placing sharp objects directly on upholstery.
• Keep strong cleaning chemicals away from the fabric.

Leather and Faux Leather

For leather or faux leather furniture:

• Dust with a soft, dry cloth.
• Wipe spills promptly.
• Avoid harsh detergents.
• Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.
• Keep furniture away from excessive heat and prolonged direct sunlight.
• Use only care products appropriate for the specific material.

Cushion Care

Cushion filling naturally changes with normal use.

To maintain a more even appearance:

• Rotate cushions periodically.
• Fluff loose cushions.
• Alternate frequently used seating positions where practical.
• Avoid standing or jumping on cushions.

Wood Furniture

For wood components:

• Dust regularly using a soft cloth.
• Wipe spills promptly.
• Avoid excessive moisture.
• Use coasters or protective pads where appropriate.
• Keep hot objects away from finished surfaces.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Minor variations in natural wood grain or tone are normal characteristics rather than defects.

Metal Components

Metal frames and legs can generally be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth, followed by drying.

Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that may scratch or damage the finish.

Sofa Beds and Moving Components

If your furniture contains moving parts:

• Operate mechanisms gently.
• Keep fingers, clothing, and objects away from hinges.
• Do not force a mechanism if it becomes difficult to move.
• Follow all assembly and operating instructions.

General Furniture Care

We recommend:

• Keeping furniture indoors unless specifically designed for outdoor use.
• Avoiding excessive humidity.
• Protecting furniture from sharp objects.
• Following recommended weight limits.
• Checking assembly hardware periodically.
• Moving furniture carefully rather than dragging it.
