To keep the fabrics looking their best, we recommend regular hoovering with a soft nozzle designed for upholstered furniture.
Stain removal instructions
- the golden rule is to always remove the stain as quickly as possible before it soaks into the fibres,
- most stains can be removed with lukewarm water, preferably using soap or a pH-neutral dishwashing detergent,
- avoid prolonged soaking, as this could damage the underlying fabric or adhesive,
- never rub hard to remove a stain,
- always use a clean, white cotton cloth and a small amount of detergent at a time,
- first, use a white paper towel or cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible,
- if the stain dries out, the first thing you should do is suck it up as much as possible using a hoover, only then should you consider using liquid detergents,
- try to place a dry cloth or white paper towel on the underside of the fabric each time you add liquid. This will help to absorb any moisture and dirt,
- use clean, soap-free water for the final rinse.
NOTE!
When soaking, the upholstery foam can be dissolved by solvents such as benzene and acetone. Therefore, the use of any solvents is not recommended. If it is necessary to use a solvent for very difficult stains, use the minimum amount possible and ensure it does not come into contact with the foam. Always follow the product supplier's instructions when using solvents.
