Care and Maintenance of Your New Upholstery UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE CARE TIPSKeep upholstered furniture away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of colours. Never Place newspaper on upholstered fabric, ink can rub off just as it does on your hands. It is very difficult to remove. Covering upholstered furniture with dark coloured blankets and sheets is not a good practice. Dye can rub off or bleed onto your fabric. Vacuuming your upholstered furniture frequently is important even if your furniture does not get heavy usage. Dust and dirt in small amounts can damage your fabric by acting like sandpaper on the fibers. Rotate cushions when you vacuum them to get even wear. Although cushions have zippers do not be tempted to put cushion covers in the washing machine. It is not recommended to have your cushion covers dry cleaned. About once a year it is good to have your upholstered furniture professionally cleaned. A word about spills The single most important rule in cleaning spills is to act quickly. Be sure that you know what to do before a spill happens. Another universal rule is to not make the spot any larger. Print and keep these tips for a quick reference. Liquid Spills Use an absorbent cloth or white paper towel to absorb as much of the liquid immediately. DO NOT RUB! Keep increasing the pressure and use fresh cloths until no more liquid can be absorbed. Solid Spills For solid or semi-solid spills such as food, gently remove the spill by lifting it with a dull knife or some simular object. Gently scrape the edges toward the middle of the spill. Remove the remaining residue as a wet spill then treat any spot that remains. Dry Spills For spills like ashes or makeup, do not use water or any other liquid. The vacuum cleaner is your best option. Tamp with ruler and vaccum again. | ||||||||||||||||||
