Caring for Your Furniture
From time to time, it may be necessary to clean your fabric upholstery. To ensure the best results
possible it is important to know the type of fabric your upholstery is covered in and to properly
clean based on the fabric. For Fabric type please refer to the Law label on the upholstery.
It is always best to consult a professional upholstery cleaning service before attempting to clean
your fabric upholstery. Please keep in mind that all fabric has different outcomes after cleaning,
please test a hidden spot (on the bottom or back of the piece) to make sure that your upholstery
will not be damaged by the cleaning agent you have chosen.

Caring for Your Leather
Natural leather is a noble and resilient material, treasured throughout the ages. It offers ideal
comfort in hot and cold climates due to its excellent breathability. Leather's unique elastic
properties, in addition to molding perfectly to the body's shape, gives a pleasant, enveloping
sensation of comfort. Characteristic only of real leather, each hide has its own history that may
be read throughout the natural surface markings, scars, wrinkles, insect bites, veining, graining
and color variations. Processes are applied individually to each hide highlighting natural
characteristics.
Periodically dust your furniture with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
For stains from soft drink, coffee, tea, milk, chocolate, oil, grease, cosmetics,
foundation cream: remove the excess liquid from the surface by wiping with a cloth
or absorbent paper. With a clean cloth, soaked in a mild solution of water and neutral
soap, gently rub the stain from the outside inwards. Do not soak the leather surface
and dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not dry the leather in sunlight or with a
hairdryer. Use only water and mild soap.
Avoid placing your furniture close to heat sources, such as heaters or radiators.
