Three basic rules for looking after your upholstery

- First of all, read the manufacturer’s care instructions and recommended products for each fabric.

- In case of any doubt, it’s always best to get advice or help from a professional, such as a dry cleaner or upholstery specialist.

- For basic maintenance and if the fabric allows, always use a neutral soap. If not, it’s best to remove dust using a dry cloth or duster.
