General tips

• Please remember fluids can penetrate stitching and zips.
• Comfort is subjective and something we cannot account for. Please ask for samples to check if the furniture is suitable for you before purchasing.
• Loose covers can shrink slightly after the first wash. If this becomes a problem, adjustments can be made to the Velcro fixings.
• Wardrobe doors can appear to be misaligned when new. Please fill the wardrobe and move it into position before checking. If the problem persists, make adjustments by using a wedge under one side.

Upholstered furniture

Vinyl & waterproof fabrics

• Should be dusted and wiped clean with a damp cloth regularly.
• Microfibre cloths with warm water will remove most stains.
• For extreme soiling use 5% hypochlorite solution (e.g. Chlor-Clean or Haz-Tabs).
• Solvents including alcohol-based cleaners must not be used as they will cause damage.
• Kitchen cleaners, abrasives, aerosol cleaners and polishes must not be used.
• Cracking and stickiness on vinyl fabrics are known issues to fabric manufacturers. As furniture manufacturers, Pineapple Contracts cannot accept responsibility

Non-waterproof fabrics

• Should be vacuumed and wiped clean with a damp cloth regularly.
• Remove spills immediately with an absorbent cloth.
• Microfibre cloths warm water will remove most stains.
• Kitchen cleaners, abrasives, aerosol cleaners and polishes must not be used.
• Waterproof fabrics are non-elastic which may result in slight puckering on certain models. This may also occur once fabrics have become stretched after use

Leather

• To clean, use mild soap and a damp cloth and wipe dry.
• Always test soap on an unseen corner first.
• Avoid the use detergents, abrasives, polishes or wax.
• Avoid the use of Hide Feeds as this cannot be absorbed into most upholstery leathers, and will form a residue on the surface.

Tables

Mattresses

Foam mattresses (Scorpio):

• For superficial dirt use a disposable wipe and a warm solution of neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Disinfect in situ using 0.1% sodium hyperchlorite solution (1000 parts per million chlorine).
• Avoid the use of biological or phenolic-based cleaners.
• All cleaning agents and disinfectants must be thoroughly rinsed off and the cover dried before storage or re-use.
• It is advisable to turn the mattress from top to bottom and side to side on a regular basis to give the foam core a chance to recover and prolong the life of the mattress.
