General Information
Rotate all loose cushions frequently to assure even wear. Vacuum dust & dirt from all fabric, cracks & crevasses. By far,
Fabric Protection is the best possible way to extend the life of your upholstery. Read the short section on how fabric protection
works to find out why
|
|
- Vacuum often to reduce grit that can cause abrasion.
- Reverse loose cushions weekly for even wear.
- Protect from the sun. Ultraviolet light can cause deterioration.
- Keep Pets off of furniture. Pet's body oils rub off and are very difficult to remove.
- Use caution with clothing
such as Blue Jeans. Fabric dyes can transfer onto upholstered furniture.

All upholstered furniture will become soiled through use.
Most spills & soil on fabric protection treated upholstery will clean easily and quickly provided that the proper cleaning
procedures are followed. A fabric protection application is not an absolute impenetrable barrier and improper cleaning methods
can damage both the fabric and the treatment.

|
- Blot (don't rub) spills immediately with a clean absorbent cloth while spill is still fresh. Dried spills are more
difficult to remove.
- Identify the cleaning code for your type of fabric. This is very important to determine
the type of cleaner to use.
- Always read & follow the instructions on the cleaning agent.
- Use
distilled water with the cleaning agent if water is called for (W & WS Codes Only)
- Pretest any cleaner
on any fabric in a hidden area. Check for Color fastness and fabric compatibility.
- Keep a small spill small.
Work lightly, blotting from center to the edges. "Feather" the edges by dampening edges irregularly and blotting quickly to
avoid rings.
- Quickly dry a cleaned spot using a small fan or blow dryer on low.

Fabric Protection
Choosing to apply fabric protection is the best possible way to protect your new upholstered furniture and keep it looking
new.
Treated Upholstery will: - Last Longer
- Look Better
longer
- Clean easier
The fabric protection treatment is a spray applied
to all surfaces of the upholstered item. The application "wicks" into the fibers of the fabric creating a protective
barrier against soil and stains.
Fabric Protection Treatment
- Has no smell & is non-allergenic
- Does not change the look of the fabric
- Does not change the
feel of the fabric
Not only does a fabric protection treatment create a barrier
against stains and spills, it has been shown to provide a barrier against the dirt and dust particles that cause excess abrasion
and can cause premature fabric wear.
