Fine furniture is made to be lived with. A little regular attention keeps fabric fresh, leather supple, finishes bright, and mechanisms moving smoothly for years to come. Below you will find simple, safe care practices for every material in our collections. If your piece comes with its own care instructions, those take precedence over this guide.

Everyday care

The essentials

Most care comes down to a few unhurried habits.

  • Vacuum upholstery weekly with a soft brush attachment.
  • Blot spills at once with a clean, dry, white cloth. Never rub.
  • Keep pieces out of direct sunlight and away from radiators, fireplaces, and air vents.
  • Rotate and plump loose cushions regularly so they wear evenly.
  • Test any cleaning product on a hidden area first.
  • For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, call a professional upholstery cleaner.

Fabric

Fabric upholstery

Vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment to lift dust before it settles into the weave. Blot spills at once with a clean white cloth, working from the edge of the mark inward, and let the area air dry away from direct heat. Avoid soaking the fabric or using solvents, bleach, or harsh detergents.

Light pilling on some woven fabrics is natural and can be removed gently with a fabric shaver. Rotate cushions, keep upholstery out of direct sunlight to preserve color, and book a professional cleaning when a deeper refresh is needed.

Leather

Leather upholstery

Leather is a natural material, and subtle variations in grain and tone are part of its character. Dust weekly with a soft, dry cloth and use a brush attachment along seams. Wipe spills promptly with a slightly damp cloth, then dry with a clean one.

Keep leather away from direct sunlight and heat, which can dry and fade the hide, and from oils, inks, and dye transfer from clothing. A conditioner suited to your finish, applied sparingly and only as needed, keeps the surface supple. For stains or scuffs, consult a leather care specialist.

Covers

Removable covers

If your piece has removable covers, a thorough refresh is straightforward. Check the care label first; it will tell you whether the cover is machine washable, hand washable, or dry clean only.

Close all zippers, choose a gentle cold cycle, and skip bleach and the dryer unless the label allows them. Wash all covers from the same piece together so the color stays consistent, then reshape and refit them as the label directs, smoothing seams into place.

Metal

Metal legs and finishes

Dust metal legs and frames with a soft, dry cloth. Fingerprints and light marks lift with a cloth barely dampened with mild soapy water, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive pads, ammonia, and acidic cleaners, which can dull brushed, painted, and plated finishes.

Fit felt pads to protect your floors, lift rather than drag when moving a piece, and check occasionally that fasteners remain snug.

Wood

Wood elements

Wood surfaces respond best to a soft, dry cloth. Wipe spills promptly and place felt or coasters beneath objects to prevent rings and scratches. Avoid silicone polishes and multi-surface sprays, which build up and cloud the finish over time.

Keep wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and maintain a steady indoor humidity where you can. Gentle movement in the grain is normal in a living material.

Sofa beds

Sofa beds and mattresses

Open and close the mechanism slowly, using the handle or strap if your piece has one, and keep the path clear of cushions, rugs, and pets. Never sit or stand on the frame while it is partly extended, and do not overload the folded seat.

Vacuum the mechanism lightly now and then to keep dust out of moving parts, and leave any lubrication or adjustment to a professional. Air the mattress whenever the bed is open, rotate it head to foot from time to time, and use a fitted protector. Store bedding separately so the mechanism can close fully.

Storage beds

Storage bed mechanisms

Lift and lower the base with both hands, keeping fingers clear of the frame and allowing the mechanism to take the weight. Distribute stored items evenly and favor lightweight, soft goods over heavy or bulky objects that could strain the lift mechanism.

Keep the compartment dry and ventilated, and vacuum the frame when you change your bedding. Do not let children operate the lift, and never leave the base raised unattended. If the base becomes heavy to lift or will not stay open, stop using it and contact us so it can be assessed.

FAQ

Care questions, answered

Can I use a steam cleaner or spot-cleaning machine on my upholstery?

Only if the care label permits it. Heat and moisture can affect fabrics, foams, and adhesives, so for anything beyond blotting we recommend a professional upholstery cleaner.

How often should upholstery be professionally cleaned?

It depends on how the piece is used. Regular vacuuming and prompt attention to spills do most of the work; book a professional cleaning when the fabric needs a deeper refresh or as your care label recommends.

A mechanism on my sofa bed or storage bed feels stiff or noisy. What should I do?

Stop using it and get in touch with your order details. Our team will assess the issue and confirm the next steps with you. Please avoid forcing the mechanism or attempting repairs yourself.

Can you advise on care before I buy?

Certainly. Visit the showroom or book a Design Concierge consultation through our site, in person or virtually, and we will walk you through the materials and finishes best suited to your home and the way you live.
