We do not recommend using heavy detergents or spot cleaners as they may damage and / or discolour the fabric. To prolong the life of your upholstery, we recommend using a professional cleaning company. Avoid direct sunlight if possible as this may cause colour change and aging of your fabric.


Please refer to the Care Section on our website for care information specific to your fabric.

To keep your cushions looking full and fluffed, regularly rotate and shape your cushions. Overtime, your cushion filings will settle, and seat foam will soften. Some of our fabrics contain feathers in compartments, and occasionally feather quills can pierce through the covers. They can be removed by pulling the feather.
