Water-Based
Cleaner
Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. To spot clean, apply water, blot with a clean, light-colored cloth, and let air dry. For lingering stains, use water-based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner. Do not oversaturate. Clean from the outside of the affected area toward the center to prevent the spot from expanding. Always test a small, discreet area first. For large stains or deep cleaning, contact a professional upholstery cleaner.
Dry-Cleaning
Solvent
Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. To spot clean, apply a mild, water-free dry-cleaning solvent, blot with a clean, light-colored cloth, and let air dry. Do not oversaturate. Clean from the outside of the affected area toward the center to prevent the spot from expanding. Always test a small, discreet area first. Professional cleaning is recommended.

We suggest washing your entire slipcover to ensure the color remains consistent across all pieces. If your slipcover is dry clean only, we recommend having it professionally dry cleaned.
Slipcover Care
We suggest washing your entire slipcover to ensure the color remains
consistent across all pieces. If your slipcover is dry clean only, we
recommend having it professionally dry cleaned.
Washable slipcovers may be professionally cleaned or washed at home.
To wash, begin by removing the cover from one arm, then remove around
the back of the frame to the other arm. Wash the slipcover body separate
from the cushion covers, so as not to overload your washer. Before
washing, close the zippers on pillow and cushion covers.
Run a gentle cycle using cold water and a mild detergent. Air dry or tumble
dry on a "no heat" setting until slightly damp. While slightly damp, place
the slipcover body on the frame, beginning at the back and moving to each
arm, then replace the cushion covers as well. You may need to stretch the
slipcover slightly in the process. Stand the cushions on their side, rotating
every 20—30 minutes until dry.
Performance
Fabric Types
To properly care for your performance material,
we recommend following the cleaning
instructions below, specific to each brand.
Crypton®
Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. For thicker substances, use a spoon to remove any excess. To spot clean, mix 16 oz. of warm water with 1 tsp. of an enzyme detergent
(e.g., Tide laundry detergent, Dawn dishwashing detergent) in a misting spray bottle. Apply the cleaning solution and lightly scrub with a soft brush, working from the outside
of the stain inward. Rinse your brush frequently during this process. Blot excess moisture and repeat as needed. Once the stain is removed, rinse the area with water to
remove all soap residue, blot with a clean cloth, and let air dry.
FibreGuard®
For stains like mud, ketchup, lipstick, or silly putty, first remove any stain residue with the edge of a flat utensil. Apply water to the stain and blot with a white paper towel,
repeating this process until you can't see the stain on the paper towel anymore. Apply more water to the area and rub with gentle circular movements with a clean microfiber
cloth (for lingering stains, use soap in this step, then rinse thoroughly to ensure all soap is removed). Repeat until the stain is removed and let air dry.
InsideOut®
Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. To spot clean, use a soap and water solution (¼ tsp. mild detergent per 1 cup of water), apply the solution using a spray bottle, and
lightly scrub with a sponge or soft-bristled brush, working from the outside of the affected area toward the center to prevent the spot from expanding. Allow the solution to
soak in for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly, blot excess moisture, and let air dry. For tougher stains, use a 1:10 solution of bleach and water.
Perennials®
Blot any excess liquid from the surface. Using a clean, damp cloth or sponge, gently dab the spot to remove the stain. For stubborn stains, apply a natural soap or a mild
detergent such as Dawn, Formula 409, or OxiClean to the cloth and gently dab (avoid excessive rubbing to avoid damage to the surface). Rinse thoroughly and let air dry.
A 1:2 solution of bleach and water may be used to clean solution-dyed acrylic fabrics.
Revolution™
Remove any loose debris and blot spills with a dry cloth. Apply water or any household cleaner to the area and blot until the stain is removed. Rinse thoroughly and let air dry.
For tougher stains, use a 1:15 solution of bleach and water.
Sunbrella®
Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. For oil-based spills, apply an absorbent like cornstarch and remove with a straight edge. Spray a solution of mild soap and water on
the area. Work the solution into the stain by lightly agitating the entire surface area with a sponge or very soft-bristled brush. Avoid scrubbing or using a hard-bristled brush,
which may damage the fabric. Rinse thoroughly and blot excess moisture with a clean towel or sponge, repeating each step until all soap residue is removed. Let air dry.
Sustain™
Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. To spot clean, use a soap and water solution (¼ tsp. mild detergent per 1 cup of water), apply the solution using a spray bottle, and
lightly scrub with a sponge or soft-bristled brush, working from the outside of the affected area toward the center to prevent the spot from expanding. Allow the solution to
soak in for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly, blot excess moisture, and let air dry. For tougher stains, use a 1:10 solution of bleach and water.
Leather Care
For regular care and cleaning, dust
periodically with a dry cloth to remove
residual dust and prevent dirt from building
up. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth.
To treat lingering stains, use a cloth to
massage the area with lukewarm distilled
water, blot with a fresh dry cloth, and let air
dry. No harsh cleaners or solvents
should
ever be used on leather. Leather should be
kept out of direct sunlight and heat which dry
out leather's natural oils and cause cracking.

Regular Cleaning
Use a soft, dry brush to gently loosen and remove dust and
debris on the surface of the fabric. Vacuum regularly with an
upholstery attachment. Brush high-pile fabrics such as velvet
in the direction of the pile to restore the loft.
Cushion Care
Fluff and rotate loose cushions as needed to keep them
looking fresh and encourage even wear. If a cushion shifts
within its cover and no longer lines up with the seams, unzip
the cover, reach inside to grab the front of the cushion, and
pull in opposite directions to shift the cushion to its correct
position.
Fade Prevention
Place furniture away from direct sunlight to avoid fading over
time and preserve its original beauty.
