PADDING IN SHAPE
The feather cushions (sterilized at high temperature) must be handled regularly to maintain their original appearance.
For avoiding the feather crushing, also due to uptake of moisture, it is recommended to expose the cushions padding to open air
every three months, if possible in the sun, in order to dry the residual humidity.
The padding made of fibre, feather or mixed, can undergo to variations on use and may present folds and volume changes:
then we recommend to manipulate them regularly to reshape the original look of your sofa.
EXPOSURE
Fabric or leather upholsteries are sensitive to light and heat. For these reasons you will have to avoid exposing your sofa under
direct sunlight, near powerful lamps or in proximity of heat sources.
DUSTING
This operation must be carried out regularly to eliminate dust and prevent it from settling deeply in the padding.
It can be done with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner avoiding contact, rubbing and using it a low power mode.
Hard brushes and powerful cleaners may damages the fibres of the fabric threads, raising the appearance of pilling, as well as creating
abrasions on the leather surface.
To keep a clean leather sofa we recommend dusting the surface periodically with a soft, dry cloth then pass the surface with a specific
neutral cream of good quality.
