PU & Synthetic Fabric

PU & Synthetic upholstery is a durable and stylish material choice and with proper care, can last for many years.

General Care

- PU & Synthetic materials are sensitive to heat. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources and hot objects to prevent fading and deterioration. Use curtains or blinds to protect your furniture.
 

- Vacuum all fabric surfaces and cushions regularly to remove dust and dirt by using an upholstery brush attachment. Vacuum along the grain of the fabric to prevent damage.
 

- Clean spills immediately. Gently blot with a damp clean cloth at the time that the spill occurs. Do not rub the fabric to avoid damaging the material. If needed, use a mild detergent to clean the affected area. Wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove any residue and dry thoroughly.
 

- Do not use abrasive detergents or chemicals.
 

- Take special care when spraying household chemicals and products near upholstery. Applying non-commercial scented fabric fresheners, neutralisers and fabric protectors is never recommended.
 

- Rotate cushions often to minimise wear on frequently used seats and prevent concentrated fading. Cushioning and fillings will show signs of wear and tear with normal use. This is not covered by warranty. Cushions may crease, foam and fillings will soften and form to the shape of the user over time.
 

- The easiest method to maintain cushions is to regularly “fluff and puff” and if possible, flip them. This is particularly important for feather-filled cushions and if not carried out, can cause them to lose their appearance or comfort level temporarily or maybe even permanently.
 

- Keep your upholstery away from pets and sharp or abrasive objects. Take special care that pointed items such as pens and keys are removed from pockets when sitting on PU & synthetic furniture so that this does not create a mark or hole in the upholstery.
 

- PU & Synthetic upholstery will absorb stains and dyes from fabrics that bleed, such as blue or dyed jeans or bright colours & prints that bleed. In the case of colour transfer, clean the stain immediately. Do not leave newspapers or other printed material lying on the upholstery.
 

- Do not sit directly on scatter cushions or arms of your sofa, sofa chair or similar. Sitting on the armrest will deform the foam on the component and by doing so will void the warranty.

Important Considerations
 

- Speak with your Designer to ensure the products selected are suitable for your specific environment as well as discuss the level of maintenance that will be needed.
 

- Professional cleaning every 12 months is recommended. If your furniture is used every day, we recommend professional cleaning every 6 months.
 

- Use floor protectors on the bottom of furniture to minimise damage to floor coverings.
 

- Always carefully lift furniture with 2 or more people when moving items around the home – never drag furniture along the floor.
