FABRIC CARE

UPHOLSTERY GENERAL*

We recommend a professional cleaning service for most of our fabrics*. Never soak or saturate the material. Routine vacuuming or light brushing is recommended. Test any fabric cleaner in an inconspicuous location. Pilling is natural: remove with a lint or fabric shaver. Always blot, do not rub.  Darker colours will fade over time and beware of colour transfer from dark to light fabrics.  If using an item as a footstool, always ensure you place a protective barrier such as a glass top or tray (being careful the underside is suitable/will not colour transfer or pull the fabric) on the surface.

LEATHER

Dry-dust or vacuum regularly. Avoid direct sunlight. Immediately tend to spills. Blot with dry, clean cloth. Do not saturate.

SUEDE

Brush with soft suede brush and vacuum occasionally.

CUSHIONS*

Dry clean only.

SLIPCOVER CLEANING*

We recommend a professional cleaning service. Do not remove cushion or pillow casing for separate cleaning. Clean all pieces at once.

HANDFINISHED*

*Some of our products, such as our hand finished block print materials, are perfectly imperfect and may fade – avoid using these in a high traffic area as they are not suitable for cleaning, even professionally.
