Various factors determine the life expectancy of your fabric: colour, weight, fibre content etc.
Due to these variables, some fabrics may require specific cleaning solutions or procedures. By law,
all furnishing fabrics must be provided with a Fabric Care Label to advise correct and suitable care
instructions for your specific fabric. Your Care Label will be located on the furniture by a hang-tag
or label sewn under the seat cushion or flounce or given to you by your furniture retailer. Always
refer to your Fabric Care Label before attempting ANY cleaning.
