Maintenance Guidelines

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to help preserve the sofa’s original colour and appearance.
• Vacuum the upholstery at least once a week to remove dust, dirt, and loose particles.
• Attend to spills and stains immediately to prevent them from setting into the fabric.

Stain Removal

• Vacuum the affected area carefully to remove any loose particles.
• Apply a small amount of clean water and gently blot the stain using a clean white paper towel.
• Do not rub the area or use circular motions with the paper towel, as this may leave fibres on the fabric.
• Repeat the blotting process until no further stain transfers onto the paper towel.
• Apply a little more clean water and gently clean the affected area with a clean microfibre cloth.
• For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of plain white bar soap and gently work it into the fabric using light circular motions. Use the soap sparingly.
• Repeat the process as necessary until the stain has been completely removed.

Drying

• Allow the fabric to air-dry naturally.
• To accelerate drying, direct a fan towards the damp area.
• Do not use a hairdryer or expose the fabric to direct heat, as excessive heat may cause permanent damage.
