Product Care

Keep your furniture looking as new as the day it arrived

Understanding cleaning codes

Understanding fabric cleaning codes is actually quite simple and will keep your furniture looking as new as the day it arrived. All of our fabrics can either be cleaned with a water or solvent-based cleaning solution. Look for these symbols on the product page or fabric guide to see what method is recommended for your fabric of choice. Please note, unless otherwise specified, our cushion covers are not machine washable. Doing so will immediately void the product warranty and any applicable protection plan to the product.

W - Water Based

Fabrics labeled cleaning code “W” should only be cleaned using water-based cleaning methods. Before cleaning, it’s best to vacuum your furniture, being sure to get between cushions and in crevices to avoid rubbing in further dirt.
Mix a few drops of mild soap with warm water (Distilled water may be recommended). Tip: Add a few drops of vinegar or baking soda to help remove odors.
Before applying to soiled area, it’s best to test on an inconspicuous area of your furniture.
Apply a very small amount of your cleaning liquid with a clean, soft rag or microfiber towel, and gently blot the treated area. You can add more cleaning liquid if necessary but it's best to start small to avoid water marks.
Allow to air dry.

S - Solvent Based

Cleaning code “S” fabrics should be cleaned with a dry solvent cleaner only, never with water. Before cleaning, it’s best to vacuum your furniture, being sure to get between cushions and in crevices to avoid rubbing in further dirt.
Prior to cleaning, make sure the area is well ventilated. Open windows or doors if needed.
Before applying to soiled area, it’s best to test on an inconspicuous area of your furniture.
Apply a very small amount of your cleaning liquid to the treated area and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Use a light fabric brush to agitate the area if needed. You can add more cleaning liquid if necessary but it's best to start small to avoid water marks.
Drop cloths should be used to protect wood floors and legs of the sofa. If solvent is accidentally sprayed or dripped onto wood, it should be wiped off immediately.
Allow to air dry.

Caring for leathers

Think of your leather furniture as an investment in luxe style for years to come - a little maintenance and care is needed to help preserve the beauty of your furniture. We only use top grain hides, which is the strongest, most valued part of the hide. Its softness, grain, and ability to show natural character make it perfect for upholstered use. Don’t worry, leather is one of the easiest materials to look after - it’s naturally durable and grows more beautiful with age and use!
