Use a vacuum cleaner or soft brush to remove surface dust on a regular basis. Always take care not to use a rotating vacuum head as this may damage the fabric fibres. Household dust that becomes ingrained in the surface fibres of your fabric will cause areas of abrasion and reduce the lifespan of your fabric. For small spillages we recommend spot clean only. Initially lift the liquid with an absorbent tissue, then blot the area with a sponge or clean folded towel moistened in lukewarm water. To avoid any water marks, dry the area by blowing warm air from a hair dryer across the surface. Larger, more stubborn stains should be cleaned by a professional. Never place your furniture in direct sunlight as this will lead to fading. Natural dyes and yarns can be particularly vulnerable to this.
