heaters, or gas or wood res where there is increased risk of scorching damage or discoloration to
maximize furniture longevity. Place upholstered pieces where they won’t be exposed to direct sunlight to
minimize fading. Sharp objects such as rings, buckles, or pet claws can tear, scratch, or break upholstery
fabrics. Flip, rotate, and u removable cushions regularly to ensure even wear and to retain the original
soness. Tight, attached seat and back cushions will stretch and wrinkle with use. Restore their appearance
by smoothing the surface and tucking excess upholstery into the sides or back.
