Upholstery

          Rotate all loose cushions frequently to assure even wear. Vacuum dust and dirt from all fabric, cracks and crevices. By far, Fabric Protection is the best possible way to extend the life of your upholstery. Read the short section on how fabric protection works to find out why.

• Vacuum often to reduce grit that can cause abrasion.
• Reverse loose cushions weekly for even wear.  
• Protect from the sun. Ultraviolet light can cause deterioration.
• Keep Pets off of furniture. Pet’s body oils rub off and are very difficult to remove.
• Use caution with clothing such as Blue Jeans. Fabric dyes can transfer onto upholstered furniture.

• Blot (don’t rub) spills immediately with a clean absorbent cloth while spill is still fresh.
• Dried spills are more difficult to remove.
• Identify the cleaning code for your type of fabric.
• Always read & follow the instructions on the cleaning agent.
• Use distilled water with the cleaning agent if water is called for (W & WS Codes Only)
• Pretest any cleaner on any fabric in a hidden area.
• Check for Color fastness and fabric compatibility.
• Keep a small spill small.
• Work lightly, blotting from center to the edges.
• “Feather” the edges by dampening edges irregularly and blotting quickly to avoid rings.
• Quickly dry a cleaned spot using a small fan or blow dryer on low.
