Care & Maintenance

Spills
Act fast! Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing, which spreads stains. Use only mild, fabric safe cleaners. For stubborn stains, call in the pros.

General Cleaning
Vacuum regularly to keep dust and dirt at bay. For stains, spot clean with a tested mild cleaner. Don’t soak the fabric, excess moisture risks mold.

Protection
Keep your sofa out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid damp areas and use covers or throws to protect against spills and wear.

Conditioning
Apply fabric conditioner or protector as directed to preserve appearance and durability.

Prevention
Use removable covers for extra defense. If you have pets, keep them off or use pet-friendly covers. Steer clear of sharp objects that could snag fabric.
