Fabric Care

Nothing says "home" better than your own favorite room furnished to ensure your comfort. Upholstered furniture adds function and beauty to every room in your home. The choices are many with a wide variety of fibers, fabrics, colors and styles readily available. The following information will help you care for your upholstered furniture.

Quality upholstery should serve you. You should not live in fear of living on your new furniture. So go ahead. Live a little. Live a lot. There are simple solutions to keeping your new upholstery investment crisp and clean for years to come

General Care Tips

For years they've been making this little attachment for vacuum cleaners called an upholstery brush. It works great on the car seats, so why not try it in your home. Your vacuum cleaner also has an attachment used for dusting draperies and furniture. It has longer bristles and is less abrasive to your upholstery fabric. You might want to use this brush versus the upholstery brush if your fabric deserves a softer brushing.

Professional cleaning is the best way to make a slightly soiled sofa look new again, but once a week vacuuming will make professional cleaning a less frequent event. Be sure to dust vacuum the top surfaces as often as possible (i.e. seat cushions, the tops of the arms, the top of the back, etc.)

• If the cushions are reversible, reverse them each week after vacuuming.
  
  
• Vacuum often (once a week) to remove grit that can cause abrasion. Never brush any fabric with a stiff fiber or metal brush, since each is destructive to the fibers.
  
  
• Cushions and pillows filled with down, or similar cushioning material, should be hand-fluffed and reversed regularly to retain original softness and resiliency.
  
  
• Protect fabrics from the sun…. direct sunlight will fade any fabric. Fabrics should not be placed in direct sunlight. Ultraviolet light (sunlight) will cause fiber degeneration and color-fade. Occasionally, dyes can fade from impurities within the air.
  
  
• Keep pets off the furniture. Pet urine and pet body oil can be difficult to remove.
  
  
• Use proper care with structural weave fabrics (design created by the weave) to protect against snags.
  
  
• Rearrange the furniture occasionally to ensure even use of the cushions and wear areas.
  
  
• Caution those wearing clothing with transferable dyes, such as blue jeans, etc., that the dye could transfer onto light-colored furniture.
  
  

Fabric Cleaning Guide

Today's new fabric treatments improve the chances of your fabric's survival. Fabric protection products are usually applied by the retail store for an additional cost. Most of the various brands work the same way by causing spills and soil to sit on the surface of the fiber instead of migrating to the fiber's interior.

Today's fiber protection products are free of ozone damaging chemicals, most are hypoallergenic, and invisible to the eye. Some even provide additional UV protection to color fading caused by intense light. One of the greatest benefits of fabric protection products is that they come with specific written warranties that provide peace of mind.

Whether your new upholstery has been fabric protected or not, one should follow the same basic guidelines in cleaning liquid spills or surface soil that can't be brushed off (such as newspaper ink).

Fabric Cleaning Codes- Before attempting to clean a spill or spot on your furniture, you should identify the fabric and correct cleaning method recommended by the manufacturer. This information is represented by a cleaning code (W, S, WS or X) often found under a cushion, on the bottom of the furniture or on the manufacturer’s tag. If you cannot find this information, contact your salesperson at the furniture store where the item was purchased.

Explanation of Cleaning Codes

W – Spot clean only with water-based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner.

S -- Spot clean only with water-free cleaning solvent. Do not overwet. DO NOT USE WATER

WS –Spot clean with upholstery shampoo, foam from a mild detergent, or a mild dry cleaning solvent. Do not overwet.

X -- Clean only by vacuuming or light brushing with a non-metallic brush. DO NOT USE WATER OR DRY CLEANING SOLVENTS. Do not use a foam or liquid cleaner of any type.

Never Apply Cleaning Solutions to Visible Areas of Your Upholstery Fabric Without First Testing on Areas That Are Not Visible. It is important to pretest for color loss and fabric compatibility.

Cleaning Instructions

As a general rule, when a spill occurs, it is important to clean the fabric immediately. The longer a spot remains, the harder it is to remove; it may even become permanent.

Blot! Don't rub. If the spill is still "fresh", use a clean, dry and very absorbent 100% cotton cloth. Should you have to use paper towels to blot out spills be sure the paper towel (or cloth) is white as colors in the towel may, when applied to a wet surface, fade onto the upholstery. Color from one fabric can rub off onto another fabric, even when dry, a process known in the industry as "crocking".

If blotting with a dry cloth doesn't quite finish the job, and you have cleaning directions from the furniture manufacturer, follow those. If none are available, use the instructions provided here.

Gently scrape away any excess solid matter or liquid using a dull-edge spoon.

1. Pretest the cleaner you intend to use in a hidden area for color loss and fabric compatibility. Look for faded colors, shrinkage or dark rings; these are signs of incompatibility.
   
   
2. If possible, place a clean white cloth under the area to be cleaned, such as the inside of a seat cushion. It will absorb the soil and produce better results.
   
   
3. Apply a small amount of cleaner to a soft, clean white cloth. Begin at the edge of the stain and work toward the center, turning the cloth often. Blot—don't rub—the stain as rubbing can roughen the delicate fibers and leave the fabric looking worn and faded. Apply the solution to the surface of the stain or spill and allow it to slightly saturate the fabric. Water based solutions should be mixed with distilled water to eliminate possible fading due to bleach in the water or discoloration's or "rings" caused by excess minerals found in tap water. Be careful not to allow the solution to penetrate and saturate the inner seat cushion or back pillows. The fabric should be generously moist, but not to the point that the fillers used under the fabric become saturated. Use a clean, soft, absorbent, and colorless towel to blot the spill. This wicking action will further lift the spill from the interior fibers. Also, remember to use cool or cold solutions. Never use HOT solutions or HOT water that could cause fading or fabric shrinking.
   
   
4. After cleaning, "feather" the edges of the spot by brushing gently back and forth with a dry cloth. Dry quickly with a fan. This will help prevent ringing.
   
   
5. Keep a small stain small! A cotton swab, dipped into the proper cleaning solution and squeezed out, will wick up the dissolved stain, stopping it from spreading (this is a good fix for small ballpoint ink marks).
   
   
6. If your first attempt does not remove the spot, you may want to repeat steps three through five a second time.
   

Stain Removal Guide

Some stubborn spots may not respond well to the blotting technique described above. The following hints may help. As noted earlier, you should follow the furniture manufacturer's cleaning guidelines where applicable. Always pretest the cleaner in a hidden area.

Fine leather is soft and luxurious, making it an ideal choice for furniture. Leather is a natural wonder. It breathes ... won't stretch out of shape ... and needs little care during normal use. Natural marks and scars are proudly exhibited as normal characteristics of genuine leather. With the right care, leather improves with age, providing many years of enjoyable use. Even the best leather, however, is subject to damage.

Different types of leather require different care and maintenance products. If you are uncertain about the type of leather you have, check with your salesperson or contact the store where you purchased the item. As a general rule of thumb, pretest all of the care products in a hidden area to make sure they are compatible with the leather.

To maintain the rich, natural look of your leather furniture, we offer the following general recommendations.

General Leather Care Tips

• Avoid using or placing sharp objects on leather goods. Leather is very durable, but not accident or damage proof.
  
  
• Place your furniture a minimum of two feet from radiators and other heat sources.
  
  
• Protect your leather furniture from direct and even indirect sunlight. Some leathers, such as full and semi-aniline, will fade over time.
• Avoid air pollution such as cigar or cigarette smoke and cooking fumes, which can cause leather to fade or change color.
  
  
• Keep leather free from dust by dusting with a cloth, preferably once a week. Use a soft, dry cloth to prevent any build up of dirt, dust, crumbs, etc. For routine cleaning, thoroughly dampen a clean dry cloth with a solution of a mild soap and water. Wring it out well. To avoid any spots, be sure to moisten the entire surface evenly and lightly.
  
  
• Blot spills up immediately. Whenever possible, use a quality leather cleaner to remove the spill (we recommend Guardsman). Most liquids will be initially repelled by the leather, but if left to stand over an extended period of time, they will be absorbed. That's why it is a good idea to wipe spills immediately. If the spill is absorbed, it will dissipate over time, much as a human skin will absorb and eventually diffuse stains.

If there is a spot or spill, here are some stain removal tips...

Spots and Spills - Blot excess liquid immediately with a clean absorbent cloth or sponge. If necessary, use clear, lukewarm water and gently wipe the spill. Be sure to moisten the entire surface evenly and lightly. If water is used to wipe the spill, clean the entire area where the spill occurred. For example, the entire seat cushion or entire arm. Dry with a clean towel and allow to air dry. Never use heat or a hair dryer to dry the leather.

Stubborn Spots and Stains - Use a mild solution of Ivory soap and clear, lukewarm water. Apply the soap to a clean, wet sponge and wash, then rinse well and let the leather air dry naturally. Always try the cleaning method in a hidden area first, to be sure it's colorfast.

Butter, Oil or Grease - Wipe excess off the leather with a clean, dry cloth, then leave it alone as the spot should dissipate into the leather in a short period of time. Do not use water, soap, or a leather cleaner to try to remove a butter, oil or grease stain (e.g. popcorn grease or salad dressing).

Never Use...

Saddle soaps, oils, all purpose cleaners, furniture polish, varnish, ammonia water, or solvents. Use of these products could damage the finish. Modern tanning techniques do not require such products. Most spills will blot up easily with a dry cloth or paper towel.

If you prefer to use a commercially available product to clean your leather, we recommend Guardsman Leather Cleaner, preferably once a month if the furniture is used daily, but at least four times a year. Don't rub! Sponge gently until all grime and stains are absorbed. Treat the leather with Guardsman Protector/Conditioner after each cleaning, to retain its softness and attractive appearance. Please follow Guardsman’s directions when using these products.

Wood furniture represents a significant investment in many homes. To maintain its beauty and help it last, wood furniture needs regular and proper care. Most wood furniture is finished with a fine lacquer or varnish. It has a sheen or gloss… ranging from high to low, depending on the finishing materials the manufacturer has selected. The finish adds to the beauty of the wood and protects it. No finish is totally indestructible, but with regular care and the proper use furniture care products (polish and cleaner) it will last much longer, providing years of satisfaction and enjoyment.

The information listed below was obtained from a variety of sources including: furniture manufacturers, Guardsman Furniture, and Johnson Wax. The recommended remedies are in accordance with general industry procedures. We cannot guarantee favorable results, nor do we assume any liability in connection with their use. You should consult a professional furniture repairperson if you are in doubt about how to proceed.

General Wood Care Tips

• Common sense is just what the name implies: don't do anything that will cause the furniture to be damaged. For example, be very careful when vacuuming the carpets not to hit the furniture bases or table legs. Don't set abrasive items such as cardboard boxes, grocery bags, ceramic lamps, ashtrays, etc. on a finished surface. Be careful when an item such as a plate is lifted from the table. A fork falling from a plate can seriously dent the tabletop. Hot items, such as a dish just removed from the oven, can blister or darken the finish. Use a hot pad or a table pad under the tablecloth to prevent this. Don't wait to wipe up spills or to clean up after a party.
• Lift and place objects, do not drag them across the furniture surface.
• Dust frequently to remove everyday abrasive particles from wood surfaces. Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, such as an old white T-shirt or cotton baby diaper.
• In addition to regular dusting, wood surfaces also benefit from occasional polishing to remove smudges and particles and enhance the appearance of the piece.
• Clean up spills immediately. Use a blotting action rather than a wiping action.
• Do not expose furniture to continuous direct sunlight. With extended exposure, ultraviolet rays can create hairline cracks in the finish or cause fading, bleaching or darkening. We recommend arranging your furniture away from direct sunlight and using window treatments (sunscreens, drapes, or blinds) to block the sun’s rays.
• Avoid extremes in room humidity. Too high or too low humidity can cause wood to warp or the glue lines to fail.
• Avoid extreme changes in temperature. Arrange furniture away from radiators, registers and air-conditioning units. Hot blasts of air, such as those from a central heating vent, should be avoided, because they cause extreme localized drying of the wood.
• Rotate accessories on furniture so they do not sit in the same spot all of the time. Many wood finishes need to "breathe" to maintain their appearance and durability. The furniture finish should have exposure to the air, rather than being covered for extended periods of time. Periodically move desktop components such as computer equipment, audio/video components, clocks, staplers, etc.
• Rubber, plastic, or vinyl products can stain or cause furniture finishes to soften. Avoid leaving plastic tablecloths and placemats on a wood surface for extended periods of time. Chemical components in the plastic can damage finishes. Affix felt discs on the contact points of computer equipment, alarm clocks, lamps, telephones and other desktop items. The plastic, rubber or nylon feet on these items may contain chemicals that can migrate into the finish, causing indentations, softening and discoloration. Even plastic toys left on shelves for extended periods can cause damage to the finish, if not protected.
• Use pads, cloth or felt to protect the furniture surface from hot dishes, beverages, bookends, flower pots and vases.
• Use a protective pad when writing with a ballpoint pen. Protect the surface when working with items which could stain or damage the wood, such as crayons, markers and glue. Note that potpourri and scented accessories may contain oils that can, on contact, cause damage to finishes.
• Nail polish remover will soften furniture finishes. Never use it where it could spill onto wood furniture.
• Be careful to avoid rubbing on matte or low-sheen finishes. For example, repeatedly placing your stocking feet on a coffee table which has a matte finish can create a shiny spot. Through normal use, matte and low sheen finishes tend to develop an overall increased sheen level.
• Make minor repairs while they are still small. Use the proper materials or professional help to repair badly damaged surfaces.
  
  

Cleaning Instructions

Furniture care means knowing the quickest and simplest methods, and the newest and best products to keep furniture attractive and new looking. It means a minimum of fuss and bother, even though there are many types of surfaces to maintain.

To assist in caring for wood furniture, there are a variety of polishes with different methods of application and performance characteristics. Most quality furniture care products can be used to beautify, clean and protect fine wood furniture. Base your selection of a product on the type and condition of the finish, level of gloss and amount of convenience preferred.

Dusting

• Dust often to remove everyday abrasive particles from wood surfaces. We recommend dusting at least 2 times a week.
• Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Old diapers, white T-shirts, cotton knitwear, and cheesecloth that has been laundered several times are excellent choices for dusting or polishing. (Remember to wipe with the grain!) Do not use a sponge or dishcloth on your fine wood furniture. Note that feather dusters scatter the dust particles into the air, which then resettle back on your furniture.
• Moisten the cloth slightly with water, since a damp cloth cuts down on friction, avoids scratches and holds dust. It also helps reduce static electricity which attracts dust. Do not let any moisture remain on the wood surface.
• When dusting, always pick up your accessories and replace them gently.
  
  

Polishing

In addition to regular dusting, wood surfaces also benefit from occasional polishing to remove smudges and particles and enhance the appearance of the piece. If nothing is done to the furniture (except dusting) the finish will, over a period of time, become dull looking. This is caused by minute scratches made by dirt particles and deposits which result from cooking fumes, fingerprints, etc.

An easy method to clean and maintain furniture is to use furniture care products (polish) available from Wilcox Furniture or at the local grocery store. These polishes contain cleaners to remove most household soils, plus they deposit a finish on the surface which produces a pleasing shine. The best cloth to use to clean and polish furniture is soft cotton (or cotton blend) that has been washed several times to remove the lint.
Be sure to choose a polish that is formulated for your furniture and its finish. You will find several choices available, including those designed for furniture with high sheen finishes and others that are designed for furniture with matte or low sheen finishes.

Although it won't hurt the finish to do it more often, we recommend polishing only two or three times a year, depending on use. Over-polishing can detract from the appearance of the finish.

Here is the recommended polishing procedure:

1. Dispense the polish onto a clean, white, lint-free cloth, preferably of natural fiber such as cotton. Use the polish sparingly -- a little goes a long way.
2. Wipe the polish onto the furniture following the direction of the grain. Wipe off excess polish with the other side of the cloth, or a second cloth, if needed.
3. Avoid excessive rubbing. Excessive rubbing can actually be detrimental to matte finishes, as it causes uneven shine. Be aware that over-polishing can be a main cause of damaged finishes.

No matter what brand of polish you choose, be sure to avoid those that contain silicone. Silicone oil is an ingredient used by many furniture polish makers to create a high degree of shine. Silicone seeps into even the most lacquered finishes, making it difficult to remove. Should it become necessary to refinish a piece of furniture, silicone makes it a very difficult process— even for a professional refinisher. Most furniture manufacturers recommend using polishes that do not contain silicone.

Most of today's fine lacquer finishes do not benefit from waxing. Regular use of wax-type polishes may result in the build-up of wax film on the surface of the furniture. This build-up may then pick up dirt, smoke and other pollutants in the air, which may result in smudges and streaks. Used long enough, this may cause the finish to soften, requiring expensive refinishing work. Wax build-up over time hardens, making it difficult to remove from the furniture's finish.

Cleaning

Even well-cared for furniture may begin to look a bit cloudy or smeary. To remove accumulated air pollutants, greasy film from cooking, smudges from handling and residue from polishing, we recommend using a Furniture Cleaner product.

Although most furniture cleaners can be used often without harming the finish, we recommend using it only two or three times a year.

Here is the recommended procedure:

1. Pour a small amount of the furniture cleaner onto a clean, soft cotton cloth.
2. Wipe the wood surface in the direction of the grain (Clean crevices, carvings, etc. with a cotton swab). Turn the cloth and wipe the area dry immediately while the cleaner is still moist (use a second or third cloth if necessary).
3. After completely cleaning the furniture, follow with an application of the appropriate furniture polish.

Before using any cleaning product on your furniture, test a small inconspicuous area to make sure that your finish has not deteriorated or softened, and to ensure that the finish is not lifted with old polish or wax.

Guide to Handling Spills and Stains

As careful as you may be, accidents do happen. Some spills may blot up quickly and easily, others may penetrate the wood in seconds. For most spills, quick action can reduce the possibility of damage. Here is a guide to immediate care of spills and stains:

Food Stains: Butter, mayonnaise, ketchup and a variety of juices can leave a slight penetrating stain. Wipe up the spill immediately and polish with a soft, clean cloth.

Candle Wax or Gum: Harden fresh candle drippings with an ice cube wrapped in plastic; then gently pop up the wax with a non-stick spatula or credit card. Remove any residue with furniture cleaner, allow the surface to dry and then follow up with polish.

Alcohol: Many liquids containing alcohol -- cocktails, colognes, medicine and other household fluids -- will dissolve the finish on contact. Let all such spills air dry. If damage results, seek the expertise of a furniture repair specialist.

Paint: Water-based paints should be wiped up immediately with a damp, clean cloth. Oil-based paint should be allowed to dry and then pushed away gently with a non-stick spatula or credit card.

Nail Polish and Polish Remover: These are dangerous solvents. If a spill occurs, do not rub or wipe it, but blot immediately and let the surface dry. If damage has occurred, seek the expertise of a furniture repair specialist.

Vacuuming is the only recommended way to clean a mattress. We suggest using a quality, washable mattress pad to help keep the sleep set free of stains. Don't allow your mattress to get wet. Protect it from water or other liquids. Don't use dry cleaning fluid of any type on your mattress. These chemicals could damage some of the comfort and upholstery materials.

How to maintain a consistent comfort feel throughout the life of your bedding.
The consistent rotation of your bedding is the single, most important thing you can do to ensure the comfortable lifetime of your bedding.

Rotating your bedding.

Rotate your mattress once every two weeks during the first three months. To rotate, turn the mattress over and every other time switch the head end and the foot end. It is very important to rotate your mattress regularly during the first three months. After the first three months, rotate the mattress every other month throughout the life of your sleep set. Warning: Do not attempt to turn your mattress by yourself. This may cause personal injury or damage to your mattress.

How to avoid body impressions in your mattress?

Body impressions are a normal occurrence in your new mattress and indicate that the deep cushioning layers are conforming to your body's individual contours. Typically the impressions will be more noticeable where the hip and shoulder areas come in contact with the bed. Impressions are a good indication that it’s time to rotate your mattress. To help minimize body impressions, please turn your mattress every two weeks in the first three months; then, once every two months thereafter.

Carrying or moving your mattress.

Carry your mattress flat on its side. It's easier to handle and less likely to get damaged. Don't carry your mattress using the handles. Use handles only to position your mattress on its foundation. Don't bend your mattress under any circumstances. Such treatment may damage the innerspring unit. Flex rather than bend the mattress when going through doorways, and don't bend the corners when putting on fitted sheets.

Use a bed frame that has a center support.

If you purchased a Queen size mattress or larger, it is imperative to use a bed frame that has a center support. Without proper support, the risk of structural damage is greater.


Cleaning Instructions

How to clean your mattress?

• Keeping your bedding clean is simple with the use of a protective mattress pad, especially if children use the bed. Vacuuming is the only recommended cleaning method. If you must clean a stain, use mild soap with cold water and apply lightly! Don't ever soak a mattress or foundation, and don't use dry cleaning fluid of any type on your mattress--these chemicals could damage some of the comfort and upholstery materials.
  
  
  

Combinations of wood and glass are often found on today's furniture. Since the finish of the wood may be susceptible to some glass cleaners, it's best to use a multi surface product that is formulated to clean both surfaces in one step.

Vinyl

Vinyl upholstery is likely to accumulate dirt and finger marks quickly, calling for frequent cleaning. Wipe gently with a solution of mild soap and water only and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Multi-surface polishes are also a good choice for this type of surface because they work efficiently and unlike some household cleaners do not contain abrasives.

Metal and Wrought Iron

Metal (chrome and stainless steel) furniture can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Follow by drying thoroughly.

Metal furniture can also be dusted, cleaned and polished in a single operation with a multi-surface polish.
Wipe up spills immediately.

Brass

Clean with mild soap and water—refrain from using a brass cleaner (it can damage the lacquer finish.)

Stone

Wipe up spills immediately--stone is porous.
Clean with mild soap and water, dry thoroughly--always rub with the grain.

Wicker

Vacuum gently or brush with a soft bristle brush.

Butcher Block Tops

Clean with mild soap and water.
Preserve and enhance the surface with an occasional application of vegetable or mineral oil.

Plastic

Plastic furniture can become dull and shabby from excessive wear, or when harsh abrasive cleaners are used. To keep plastics looking new and to help protect them against wear, they should be cleaned and polished periodically. A good choice for care is a multi-surface cleaner-polish.

Marble

Marble is a very porous material and most things that stain wood finishes will stain and dull marble too if not removed immediately. This includes the new molded type marble that is made from marble dust and a bonding material. Most quality furniture polishes can be used, according to label directions.

Acrylic

Acrylic furniture (Plexiglas and Lucite) has a surface that is highly polished and resistant to many stains but is easily scratched. Wash this furniture with a mild soap or detergent and water, using soft cloths totally free of grit. Rinse with clear water and blot dry with soft, clean material. For dusting use a damp cloth or chamois, wiping gently.

Other

Other materials, like slate and mosaic, as well as specialty finishes can be cared for with modern furniture polishes. If in doubt, test the product you choose to use in a small, inconspicuous spot to be sure you will be pleased with the results.
