Tips For Care
If your furniture has reversible cushions, it's best to flip and rotate them on a regular basis. This will even out the wear and help to prolong the life of the cushions and fabric. The backs and arms on most furniture today are stuffed with a synthetic fiber fill. You should fluff them occasionally by pushing up from the bottom. By doing this, you're working air back into the fibers making the upholstery fluffy again. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can cause fabrics to fade. It's best not to place upholstered furniture in direct sunlight. If near a window, use curtains or blinds to minimize the sun light's rays. Also, changing your room setting around periodically gives your room a fresh look and helps reduce fading.
UPHOLSTERY CARE & MAINTENANCE:
Vacuum upholstered furniture every few weeks. Even if your furniture has been treated with fabric protection, the dust and soil can build up over time, damaging the fabric. For liquid spills, blot with a clean, dry, absorbent 100% cotton cloth. DO NOT rub. It is best to use a white cloth because dyes from a colored cloth may bleed into the fabric. If after blotting, your fabric is still stained and you did not purchase the Ultra Shield Plan, check the fabric cleaning code and complete the cleaning process using the proper cleaning method.
RECLINERS & SLEEPERS CARE & MAINTENANCE
Foot rests are not designed to support a person's entire body weight. Twisting or jumping on a foot rest will cause permanent damage to the mechanism. Never force a mechanism. If a sleeper or reclining mechanism will not open or close, check for loose bolts, screws or foreign objects (such as a child's toy) that may be jamming the mechanism. Never close blankets or pillows up in your sleeper sofa. This will damage the mechanism. Make sure you sit in the center of a recliner. Recliners are designed to be used with your weight centered, and your back resting against the back of the chair. If you favor one side of the chair, it will tend to lean in that direction. To allow the reclining mechanism to operate smoothly and easily, you must sit in the correct position. Check for loosened bolts occasionally. Some bolts and screws may loosen with use. Turn chairs over by tilting them forward to check bolts and screws. Sleeper sofas can be checked by extending the mechanism and removing the mattress.
UPHOLSTERY CLEANING CODES

FABRIC SPILLS & MAINTENANCE
If you purchased the Ultra Shield Fabric Protection Plan, you should contact them within 24 hours of the time the damage or stain occurred and prior to attempting to clean a stain. Please read your Ultra Shield Plan for stains covered and how to file a claim. If you did not purchase the Ultra Shield Plan, lightly soiled fabric can be spot cleaned according to the cleaning code chart below. However, professional cleaning is the best way to make a more seriously soiled piece look its best . DO NOT wash removable cushion covers or throw pillows in your washing machine, this would probably ruin your fabric.
