4. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CARE AND CLEANING
Vacuum your fabrics regularly to prevent build-up of dust and dirt on the fabric surface.
Get to spills and stains quickly. Mop up the excess liquid using kitchen roll or a damp cloth. Then clean
using upholstery shampoo, detergent or hand wash.
Always use a branded upholstery shampoo. Alternatively, both wool and polyester can be dry cleaned.
For spill or stain prone areas, a stain repellent finish can be applied to certain fabrics. Alternatively, choose
a wipe down upholstery solution.
• Use a stiff cleaning brush to keep the fabric clean, if applicable use soft soapy solutions or special cleaning
products for vinyl fabrics to remove stains on the surface of the material. Remove only with a damp white
cloth.
• Lacquers, strong cleaners, detergents, xylene based solutions, acetone, or MEK cause immediate damage and
contribute to the deterioration of the material. The use of such cleaners is at the owner’s risk.
Removing Stains. If something should get spilt or dropped on your furnishing fabric, the golden rule for
removing the stain is speed. Most spots will vanish if treated immediately and not allowed to dry in, so keep
the necessary cleaning materials all together in one convenient place. First mop up any excess liquid with
absorbent tissue (preferably white) or clean cloth and scoop up dry solids with a spoon. Most stains can be
treated with one or two cleaning liquids - dry cleaning fluid or upholstery shampoo. Use the cleaning method
shown on the chart. Always work inwards from the edge of the stain to prevent spreading. Use small amounts
of cleaning fluid at a time, and blot between applications. Continue until the stain has disappeared. Never rush
or panic, work patiently and thoroughly. If the stain cannot be removed, get expert advice from a reputable
cleaning organisation.
WARNING!
DO NOT SATURATE PRODUCT WHEN CLEANING
IF PRODUCT GETS SATURATED DURING CLEANING, THIS COULD ACCELERATE
CORROSION, REDUCING THE PRODUCTS LENGTH OF SERVICE.
