Upholstery Care
• ALWAYS ensure that you follow the cleaning instructions forYOUR
PARTICULARUPHOLSTERY. Your supplier will provide you with
cleaning instructions. Please note that different fabrics will have
different characteristics and cleaning instructions. Ask your supplier if
you are in any doubt about the cleaning instructions. Repose cannot
be held responsible for any damage caused by cleaning.
• Regular cleaning is required to maintain the appearance and
cleanliness of your chair. Small dust and dirt particles can increase the
wear and tear of the upholstery and may dull the fabric.
• Yourfabricshouldnotbeexposedtodirectsunlightforlongperiods
of time as this will cause your fabric to fade. If your furniture is
positioned within prolonged light, ensure your curtains and blinds are
drawn for protection.
• WithcertainfabricssuchasDraylonsandChenillespileatteningmay
occur, which is not a problem, but an inherent characteristic. This will
appear as different shades and may give the impression of the fabric
fading or creasing, which is caused by the pile of the fabric being
moved in different directions. If this does occur, we recommend
gently brushing in the opposite direction or vacuuming and leaving it
to settle for a while. In most cases this will bring the pile back to its
 originalposition.However,youmayexperiencesomemarking
afterwards, which is unavoidable due to the nature of the fabric.
• Ensureyourfurnitureupholsteryisprotectedfromsharpobjectsor
buckles as these may cause the upholstery to snag or become
damaged.
• Avoidallowingpetsontoyourfurnitureastheirclawsmaycause
damage to the upholstery. All animals have a degree of oil in their
coats which may transfer to your fabric if they go onto the chair. This
will cause your fabric to prematurely wear.
• If you have fibre filled cushions regularly plump to avoid the fibres
attening.
• If you have opted for an air cushion, please ensure it is checked and
cleaned regularly as this will help to maintain its lifespan and ensure it
works efficiently. The pump should be free from obstructions at all
times.
• Youmaywishtoprotectcertainareasofyourchairbypurchasing
additional arm, head and seat covers from your supplier.
