Non-Waterproof Fabrics

Should be vacuumed and wiped clean with a damp cloth regularly
Remove spills immediately with an absorbent cloth
Microfiber 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 of 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

Color and Pattern

Whether you want to create a warm, cozy snug or a serene environment inspired by nature, color can be a useful tool for establishing the atmosphere of a room.

Color zoning can also be a useful tool for visually separating large, open spaces by grouping furniture in similar tones.

For residents living with dementia or reduced vision, it is important to choose upholstery which sufficiently contrasts with the flooring, and to avoid complex patterns to aid recognition and prevent confusion.
