General Cleaning:
1. Regular Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust buildup. Alternatively, dampen a clean cloth with water, wipe the surface gently, and allow it to air dry completely.
Stain Removal:
For tougher stains, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Dilute a neutral detergent in lukewarm water.
2. Test in an inconspicuous area: Apply the solution to a hidden spot on the furniture to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.
3. Clean the Stain: Dip a clean, white cloth in the solution, wring it out thoroughly to avoid soaking the furniture. Gently dab the stain, working from the outside inwards to prevent spreading.
4. Rinse and Dry: Use a separate clean, damp cloth to remove any cleaning solution residue. Finally, pat the area dry with a soft, dry cloth.

Due to the different yarn types, dyeing process and production technology of fabrics, different fabrics have different cleaning instructions. We can divide into 3 types, spot clean, machine washable and dry clean.
The fabric used for Slipcover program is better to have washable or dry clean properties.
1. Spot Clean
The Cleaning code stand for the cleaning instructions for furniture covers. It's a guideline to teach people how to deal with "Spot stains" with right cleaner.
●W
Spot clean only with water based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner.
Pretest a small, inconspicuous area before proceeding.
Do not over wet. Do not use solvents to spot clean.
Pile fabrics may require brushing with a non-metallic, soft bristle brush to restore appearance or reset nap.
Cushion covers should not be removed and laundered.
●S
Spot clean only with a water-free dry cleaning solvent.
Pretest a small, inconspicuous area before proceeding.
Do not saturate. Do not use water.

2. Washable
Most fabrics can actually be washed, the question is what happens afterwards, the main concern is shrinkage or wrinkling. Technically, a fabric can be designated as washable if it is does not shrink more than 3% when subject to the designated laundry programme.
●Wash the entire slipcover, washing only select parts may result in color variations on the piece of furniture (you may want to consider washing all pieces in thr collection at the same time, i.e, wash the sofa, the chair and the ottoman covers at the same time - again, to minimize color variations which may occur with washing).
●Zip all zippers (closed) on pillow and cushion covers to prevent damage when washing.
●Use the gentle cycle on your washing machine. Use cold water (105 degrees) and a mild detergent. Do not use a detergent with bleach or a bleach additive.
●Remove the slipcover from the washer immediately at the end of the cycle. While aire-drying is preferred, you can use the dryer - on the NO HEAT setting.
3. Dry Clean
Furniture lasts longer and performs better when preventive maintenance
is practiced.
Upholstery in daily use is exposed to various strains such as body
oils, perspiration, general wear and color transfer from clothing. Please use the
following care tips as a guide to protecting your furniture:
1. Leather and fabrics, like any other natural material, can fade when
exposed to direct sunlight over a long period of time. To minimize
fading, avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight.
2. Keep your leather fresh and moisturized using leather conditioners and/or wipes, every few
months.
3. Avoid cleaners which use harmful chemical products. Many of these are harsh and are not safe for use on upholstery.
4. Evade stubborn stains and protect your upholstery by avoiding household chemicals such as detergents, window cleaners, bleaches, nail polish, nail polish remover, glue, shoe polish, paint and other corrosive materials.
5. Leather is a natural product and any stress will result in tears. Additionally, when stretched, the upholstery might not completely return to its original shape. Therefore, when leather is used more
intensively, it may become looser over time.
6. To keep your cushions looking fluff and new avoid sitting in one area and use the seating areas evenly.
7. Leather and fabrics are not resistant to animals. Allowing pets on your upholstered furniture is not recommended. Their claws may scratch the covers, which can lead to an expensive repair. Their saliva is acidic and may also harm the upholstered finish.
