Maintenance Guidelines
ØAvoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to help preserve the sofa’s original colour and appearance.
ØVacuum the upholstery at least once a week to remove dust, dirt, and loose particles.
ØAttend to spills and stains immediately to prevent them from setting into the fabric.
Stain Removal
ØVacuum the affected area carefully to remove any loose particles.
ØApply a small amount of clean water and gently blot the stain using a clean white paper towel.
ØDo not rub the area or use circular motions with the paper towel, as this may leave fibres on the fabric.
ØRepeat the blotting process until no further stain transfers onto the paper towel.
ØApply a little more clean water and gently clean the affected area with a clean microfibre cloth.
ØFor 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.
ØRepeat the process as necessary until the stain has been completely removed.
Drying
ØAllow the fabric to air-dry naturally.
ØTo accelerate drying, direct a fan towards the damp area.
ØDo not use a hairdryer or expose the fabric to direct heat, as excessive heat may cause permanent damage.
