Your Carolina Chair furniture is made for living! Here are a few maintenance suggestions to help sustain the life of your quality, upholstered furniture.

General

• Arrange your furniture with the environment in mind. Protect your upholstery from sunlight, excessive humidity and dryness by carefully choosing where your furniture will be placed.
  
  
• Vacuum your furniture regularly using a soft brush attachment.
  
  
• Blot spills immediately with a clean dry white cloth. If the spill becomes a stain, check the fabric’s cleaning instructions. The cleaning code can be found under the center seat cushion.
  
  
• Furniture is for living, however, two common things can decrease the lifespan of your upholstery fabric:
  
  
  1. Allowing pets on the furniture.
  2. Placing newspaper on the furniture.

Cushions, Backs, and Throw Pillows

• Reverse all seat cushions and back pillows regularly. The cushions should also be rotated from side to side where possible.
  
  
• Back and throw pillows should be fluffed regularly to maintain full appearance and total comfort.
  
  
• Remove the cores for seats, backs, and throw pillows where applicable before any cleaning.
  
  
• Do not wash or dry cushion, back or throw pillow cores ... this will cause melting and bonding of the fibers.
