UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE

The upholstery of the sofas and chairs is dry-clean only, which
means that the use of water and soap is not recommended
since it may leave lighter patches where the fabric has been
cleaned. Washing a cushion cover in a washing machine, even
at low temperature, will not only make the colour fade, but also
shrink the fabric.The upholstery of the teak chairs is made of
100% Belgian linen. It cannot be removed and stains can only
be treated with dry-cleaning products.Our leather N501 sofas
are designed for indoor use only. To keep the leather sofas in
optimal condition we recommend to:

• Wipe the leather furniture down regularly with a clean,
dry cloth
• Apply leather conditioner regularly
• Clean spills immediately with a dry cloth
• Avoid soaking the leather in water or soap
• Avoid using any cleaning products not designed for leather
• Keep leather furniture out of direct sunlight
