Care Instructions

GENERAL PRODUCT CARE TIPS

DO

  • Always carefully lift furniture when moving it around the home and never drag.
  • Rotate cushions regularly to even out the wear and fading.
  • Use floor protectors on the bottom of furniture to minimise damage to floor coverings.
  • We love our pets but keeping off the furniture will avoid any little “accidents” or damage.
  • Where applicable, when assembling your furniture please follow the instructions! This will allow you to check that you have all the parts and show you the right way to put your furniture together.
  • Some items are heavy and may require additional people to help assemble.

DO NOT

  • Don’t place any indoor furniture in direct sunlight as this may cause fabric, leather and other materials to fade or crack. Direct sunlight includes sunlight through a window - use curtains or blinds to protect your furniture.
  • Don’t place furniture too close to a heater or air conditioning vent as this may distort the material or surface finish.
  • Don’t sit on the arms of the sofas and chairs. They're not designed for that.
  • Avoid standing on chairs and stools or rocking on the back of it, as this may weaken the structure and possibly cause joint failure.

 

CLOUDS

  • PROLONG LIFE BY PROTECTING WITH A FABRIC SCOTCHGARD.
  • We recommend professional dry cleaning only for our Cloud Slipcovers.
  • To spot clean use warm water or upholstery wipes (such as Britex). Please refrain from using any detergent and ensure you use distilled water to minimize the chances of water stains.
  • Regularly vacuum frames to remove any dust and debris that may accumulate over time.
  • Regularly Shake cushions to keep them in shape. It's perfectly fine to be a little aggressive with your cushions, but always be mindful of your nails and any jewellery you might be wearing.

CORDUROY FABRICS

  • PROLONG LIFE BY PROTECTING WITH A FABRIC SCOTCHGARD.
  • Protect by not placing furniture in direct sunlight and heat, this will ensure a longer last.
  • Vacuum regularly to remove as much surface dirt and dust as possible.
  • Clean up surface stains as soon as possible, being careful not to rub stain into fabric. Make sure to use a microfiber cloth for cleaning, as a standard cotton rag can leave lint behind.
  • We recommend using warm water or upholstery wipes (such as Britex) for spot-cleaning corduroy, excessive use of cleaning products can strip the fabric of it's natural oils and leave it feeling stiff, dry and brittle. If using upholstery wipes always test a small area to make sure it won't cause any stains or discolouration. 
  • Do not rub the fabric when cleaning.
  • Use a dabbing motion with a clean section of the cloth for each dab.
  • Do not over wet fabric and allow it to dry naturally between repeated spot cleaning procedures. Although corduroy is a sturdy fabric, excessive exposure to hot water can make it shrink. 
  • To soften fabric use a soft bristle toothbrush or upholstery brush and brush in the direction of the corduroy's nap (the direction of the channels in the material). 
  • DO NOT MACHINE WASH.
  • Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals on fabric. 
  • For the tough stains or discolouration, dry cleaning may be necessary and recommended for best results. 
  • We recommend professional cleaning for heavily soiled/stained fabrics.

 

RATTAN/WICKER

  • Dust regularly with a dry soft cloth, a soft brush, or vacuuming the piece with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner. 
  • Use a soft bristled toothbrush for those hard to reach places. 
  • Periodically wipe down with a soft damp cloth.
  • To restore dry, cracked, or split rattan, apply boiled linseed oil with a soft cloth or soft bristled brush. When the furniture won't absorb any more oil, wipe it clean with a soft cloth. Allow it to dry or harden before using again.

We do not recommend leaving your rattan items undercover for an extended period of time outside, where possible, natural rattan furniture should be stored in dry conditions as it is organic material. Prolonged dampness can lead to mold and paint deterioration.

 

TIMBER

  • Dust regularly with a dry soft cloth. 
  • Periodically wipe down with a soft damp cloth followed by the application of a surface polish such as Mr Sheen. This will polish and protect the wood and glass and prolong life.
