Your Gainsborough sofa is built to the highest standards, with the correct care will provide years of comfort. Here are some top tips for making the most of your sofa.

Positioning your Upholstery

Direct sunlight and direct heat from radiators or fires will always cause covers to fade or change colour so, if possible, position your furniture away from possible sources of heat and direct sunlight.

We strongly recommend that wooden and delicate flooring is protected from marking by feet by attaching felt pads. Please ensure that your product sits on a level floor to avoid rocking or damage to the frame. Avoid dragging your upholstery and place furniture gently when moving it, as dropping or dragging may damage floors.

Cushions

Most cushion interiors will lose a proportion of their volume in the first six months. To maintain their shape, shake and your cushions daily. Cushions should also be rotated weekly to ensure even wear on seats and back covers.

General care

• Dust will cause wear to the fabric, we recommend gently vacuuming your upholstery regularly.
• We recommend that a professional cleaning company be used to clean your sofa every 12-18 months.
• Always attend to spills immediately, we do not recommend the use of chemical cleaners and clean water should always be the first choice. If you do use a stain removing product always follow the manufacturers’ guidelines.
• Ensure chemicals such as hair product sunscreen etc don’t come into contact with your fabric.
• Be careful with sharp objects such as studs and belt buckles as these can snag even the toughest fabric.
• We don’t recommend that pets use your upholstery, doing so could result in premature wear and damage.
• Pilling (or bobbling) can be kept to a minimum with regular brushing and vacuum cleaning to remove excess fibers which gather together to form the ‘pills’.
