Care for Upholstery

Synthetic Leather Upholstery

Weekly Maintenance:

Dust off light dirt/particles and wipe with a clean, damp cloth. You may use a mild soap but be sure to wipe thoroughly after rinsing the soap water. Allow to dry. Perspiration, grime, body oil, hair cream or gel will damage the leather if not removed often.

Removing Stains:

Synthetic leather is quite water resistant and coffee or tea spillage will not stain unless left to soak for a long time. Many stains can be removed by a mild soap solution applied with gentle rubbing. After general cleaning, rub over stain gently with cloth dampened with soap water. Do not use detergent or aerosol. Wipe with a cloth dampened with clean water. Allow to dry before polishing with a soft dry cloth.

Fabric Upholstery

Weekly Maintenance:

Removing Stains:

For fabric chairs the fabric should be vacuum cleaned at least once a week.

For stains due to liqueurs, wine, drinks, tea and milk, use a dry, clean cloth to remove the matter that has not been absorbed. Dampen the stain with warm water and rub gently with a neutral soap. Rinse thoroughly and after drying, brush the fabric with a soft brush.

If the spill is chemically reactive, immediate blotting (avoid rubbing/spreading) is required to minimize possible fading of colour.

Promptly treat spots and stains. An international Fabricare study confirmed the detrimental effects of allowing stains to age, when they could have been successfully removed, if treated immediately. After one week, 20% of stains could not be removed. After 3 weeks, 50% of stains could not be removed. If a stain has oxidized, or totally hardened, it forms an insoluble product that cannot be removed.

It is advisable to pre-test any cleaning solution on your sofa upholstery for colour loss and fabric compatibility. The pre-test can be done on the rear / invisible part of the sofa.

Protect from the sun. Ultraviolet light can cause deterioration.

Keep pets off the furniture. Pet's body oils rub off and are very difficult to remove.

When large areas must be cleaned, it is recommended that a professional cleaning firm be employed.

It is important that one carefully protects the upholstery of the chair against sharp objects or objects with sharp edges to prevent tearing of the upholstery.

For removing stains of ink, cosmetics, shoe polish, oil and grease, dampen the stain with warm water and rub gently with a neutral soap. Rinse thoroughly and after drying, brush the fabric with a soft brush.

General instructions:

Care for Wooden Parts

Dos

Cleaning and dusting your furniture on a regular basis will help extend the life of the product. Dusting is best done with a mildly damp cotton cloth. Before dusting, moisten cloth lightly with mild non-alkaline soap and water. A dry cloth can leave hairline scratches on the finish. Ensure that no water is left in the grooves and edges after cleaning as this will result in beginning of deterioration of the wood, which will ultimately result in swelling and weakening of the structure.

Clean spills immediately preferably by blotting with a soft and dry cloth/sponge.

For natural wooden/natural veneered surfaces, hire a professional to polish the furniture once a year.

Don’ts

Avoid contact of solvents, alcohol, nail polish and polish removers with the furniture surface.

Avoid sliding of objects across the furniture's surface. Always lift and place the object.

Do not allow sharp objects to come in contact with the furniture.

Avoid prolonged water contact as water along with corrosive substances may damage parts of the products.

Avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight, hot conditions (near fireplaces, heaters, radiators) and damp conditions (areas like basement, attic, garages and areas prone to leakage, seepage) to prevent deterioration in the furniture quality.

Do not polish processed wooden surfaces (laminated, membrane pressed).With proper care, these surfaces will maintain their finish.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents like nitro based thinners, acetone, nail varnish remover as these can damage the surface.

While mopping the floor, avoid contact of the mop with the sofa legs as prolonged contact may result in fading of the finish/colour.

Care for Metal Parts

Dos

Surfaces to be regularly cleaned and dusted to extend the life of the product. The surface can be cleaned with a soft moist cloth and a neutral soap followed by a dry cloth to wipe it completely dry.

For chrome plated surfaces the above process should be followed. Occasionally and for removing stubborn marks and stains, chrome polish should be applied. The polish should then be wiped out with a clean towel after burnishing.

Avoid prolonged water contact as water along with corrosive substances may damage parts of the products.

Avoid exposure of furniture to damp conditions to prevent deterioration of furniture quality.

Do not use abrasive cleaners as these tend to scratch or dull metal surfaces.This particularly is important for chrome surfaces, where vinegar, nail varnish remover,nitro based thinners, petrol, should never be used for cleaning.

Do not use steel wool or scouring pads to clean the metal parts.

Don’ts

Transportation & Shifting of Furniture

When moving home…

• Transporting furniture from one location to the other involves dismantling/reassembly• Please contact a company representative for dismantling and reassembly

7

While shifting furniture within one's home

Do not lift the sofa using the armrest.

Lift sofa by the seat rails/frame.

Check the furniture thoroughly for any loosejoints, cracks etc. and fasten/secure or fixthe same before shifting.

Always lift the sofa to move it from one place to another - don't drag it.

While lifting, always hold the sofa at itsstrongest point, normally the understructureof the sofa.

General Instructions

• Do not stand or sit on the sofa backrest and armrest as this will damage the sofa. This usually happens when someone is trying to access heights in the house (for cleaning the ceiling, retrieving an object stored at a height etc.) and uses the sofa as the means.

• Also avoid standing on your sofa to ensure durability and stability

Defects arising due to natural wear & tear/property of basic material used:

• Wood is a natural product and as such natural wood surfaces have irregularities in their structure and colour which are unavoidable. Such irregularities are characteristic features of natural wood. However, processed wood surfaces show more uniformity in terms of structure and colour.

• Natural wood shrinks or expands in conditions of extreme low or high atmospheric moisture respectively

• Leather/Synthetic leather is a natural product, and as such each hide will reflect its own individuality. Leather/Synthetic leather has natural markings such as variation in grains, wrinkles, skin folds, cleanly healed scars or patterns of original hair follicles, which are inherent in leather and are not quality defects. Colour variation within and between hides is normal and expected. Over time, leather will stretch and produce a soft puddling effect and wrinkling.
