Routine care will significantly increase the longevity of upholstery fabric along with maintaining the original shape and appearance of the cushions, filled backs and pillows. Accidents, however, are sometimes unavoidable. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean folded towel. Do not rub, but blot gently to remove as much of the liquid or material as possible. Often times this will prevent the development of a stain, particularly if fabric protection has been utilized.
