How to care for your leather sofa.
Most of our leathers are either aniline or semi-aniline and require top-grain leather primary care to ensure longevity.
Maintain your leather sofa with regular cleaning and conditioning. Clean with a lightly dampened cloth to remove dust, and follow up with applying a leather conditioning balm to protect and enhance the leather. Treating your leather sofa with a conditioning or leather balm product is essential to protecting it from environmental stresses. There are specific leather care products for Aniline and Semi-Aniline leathers. Only use leather care products recommended for the particular type of leather you have purchased. The following products by Uniters are recommended

How to care for your fabric sofa.
Because dust is the enemy, always ensure your sofa is vacuumed regularly using gentle low suction and a soft brush accessory. Protect from direct sunlight and any sources of heat.
To maintain the shape and condition of your sofa cushions plump and rotate loose cushions regularly. Fabric pilling can occasionally occur as a result of daily wear and should not be considered as a fault. Fibre pills can be removed by a pilling machine.
Clean all spots and stains by attending to them as soon as possible. Gently remove soil or mop any liquid from the surface of the fabric, do not saturate the cover fabric or the cushion filling with water or other cleaning fluids. You may spot clean with a dry cleaning solvent, however it is recommended that you use a professional dry cleaning service for regular cleaning.
Removable covers require dry cleaning only, do not shampoo clean or machine wash. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation during dry cleaning and or after spot cleaning.

All frames are 10 years. Cushion core materials are covered for a period of 5 years against abnormal loss of resiliency, as long as it remains upholstered in the original covering and is used under normal conditions. Some loss of resiliency of the foam core and fiber and or feather wrap should be expected and will not be considered defective. Feather leeching (loss) over the life time of the product is considered normal and is not a defect.
