Fabric Care
Precautionary
Whilst we ensure to deliver the highest and finest quality materials, it’s crucial that you maintain your furniture to preserve its freshness. We aim for your lounge to evolve with you; therefore, we recommend following this guide to enhance the durability of your furniture.
For fabric-based furniture, we suggest applying a surface protective product before use. These products are readily available at your local supermarkets or hardware stores. This protective coating forms a barrier against dust, dirt, bacteria, and stains, ensuring your fabrics remain shielded. Additionally, it simplifies the cleaning process for spills or stains, preventing absorption. It's recommended to reapply this protective coating every six months or as specified on the product label.
General Care
Professional Cleaning
We recommend professional cleaning every 6-12 months to ensure the longevity of your furniture.
Mind the Heat
Maintain a minimum 30 cm gap between your furniture and heating sources to prevent fabric deterioration from prolonged exposure to heat.
Sunlight Caution
Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight, as all materials can fade over time when exposed.
Pet-Free Zone
While we all love our pets and this may be challenging, we encourage to keep pets off your furniture to prevent potential damage. This action will also void your warranty.
Chemical-Free Zone
Never use harsh chemicals such as nail polish remover, bleach, glue, household cleaners, or paint thinners on or near your lounge.
Equal Usage
Instead of having a favourite seat, evenly use your entire suite to maintain a consistent appearance and aging.
Thread Care
Do not pull loose threads; instead, trim them off neatly with sharp scissors to prevent creating holes.
Regular Maintenance
All fabrics require regular care and maintenance. Vacuum with an upholstery attachment to prevent premature wear and discoloration. Treat spills and marks promptly.
Handle with Care
Avoid lifting or moving furniture by pulling on sofa and armchair arms or upholstery. Damage caused by external force is not covered under the furniture warranty.
Machine Washing
Please be aware that none of our fabrics should be machine washed unless explicitly specified otherwise. The SOL fabric range is our only fabric designated for dry cleaning only.

Stains
Initial Clean-up
Use a dry, clean, colourless microfibre cloth to remove any unabsorbed matter from the sofa.
General Stains
You may opt for bleach-free, instant stain-removing foam. Spray the foam onto the affected area, allow it to evaporate for approximately 5 minutes, and then blot dry using a colourless microfibre cloth or as instructed on the product label.
Stubborn Stains
Dampen the stained area and gently rub the sofa with a bleach-free stain remover designed for fabrics. You can find such products in the laundry section of any supermarket. Ensure thorough rinsing, and once dry, brush the furniture fabric with a soft brush to align all fibres back into place for a polished finish.
