Fabric Care & Cleaning
|
| Fabric Selection |
| The useful life of an upholstered piece or recliner can be
increased if the consumer follows a few simple rules. It is very important
that a fabric be chosen that is appropriate for its intended use. For
example, if velvet covers are available in cotton, nylon, and olefin, the
nylon velvet might be appropriate for a large family for use in high
traffic areas. The olefin velvet could also take heavy use and would be an
excellent choice for humid climates where mildew is a problem. The cotton
velvet has less abrasion and soiling resistance and so might be more
appropriate for moderate activity areas. |

| Vacuuming |
| Weekly vacuuming or light brushing helps to remove soil and
prevent the embedding of dirt or grime between fibers which can increase
abrasion and wear. |
| |
| Turning, Fluffing |
| The life of upholstered cushions can be increased through
periodic turning. The weekly reversal of loose cushions will allow even
distribution of wear over long periods of time. Consumers should also
fluff up loose pillows to even out any lumps or settling in head or kidney
cushions. Lane also installs zippers in all our loose cushions in order to
add or delete any fiber, which may be needed. Normal use will cause
cushions to loose some of their firmness, and should be expected. |

| Cleaning |
| All our furniture fabrics carry the Furniture Industry’s
cleanability code adopted in 1969. It gives the consumer information about
the proper methods to clean specific fabrics. Care instructions may be
found on the care and cleaning label attached with the Fabric Description
Hangtag. (To
locate your piece's care instructions, see this page.) When spot
cleaning, it is always a good idea for consumers to first pretest fabric
for discoloration and shrinkage on an inconspicuous part of the furniture.
When overall cleaning is required, professional cleaning will often
achieve the most satisfactory results. Never remove cushion covers or arm
caps for separate cleaning. This may destroy the backing, cause shrinking,
and color changes. |
