Whether you're choosing a new sofa, bedroom, dining room or even a new mattress, appropriate care to extend the life of your new furniture is very important. Steinhafels offers tips on caring for your furniture, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
 
Fabric Care:

The first step in maximizing the beauty and life of your new upholstered furniture is a professional fabric protection program. Steinhafels fabric protection program features a commercial grade protector. Treating upholstery with Steinhafels fabric protection increases its resistance to common stains and makes it easier to maintain. This treatment won't change the color or texture of upholstery. You can't smell or see it. You'll never know your upholstery has been treated until you need it!

Cleaning Upholstered Fabrics

Accidents do happen. With Steinhafels own Fabric Protection, your fabric resists stains and spills and gives you the extra time you may need to effectively respond to an accident. These tips will help you safely spot clean fabrics:

  • Always blot from the outside to the center of a spot. Doing so will control the spread of a spill.
  • Test your fabric in a hidden area to make sure the color doesn't come off with the stain, or that a ring is not caused by the cleaning agent.
  • If the spot is liquid, use an absorbent white cloth or white paper towl to gently blot up the excess
  • If the spot is solid material, remove the excess by lifting it off with a dull table knife or spoon.
  • Never rub, scrub, or brush a spill.
  • Never use strong chemicals such as bleach, solvents, or acids unless a specialist recommends them.
  • Never use sudsy detergents, as they leave a soapy residue that attracts soil.
  • Don't use tap water. Use distilled water or plain seltzer water. Minerals in common tap water can cause rings, even on treated fabrics.
  • Avoid commercial furniture cleaners. Most foster rapid resoiling.

Minizing Wear & Stains

  • Keep upholstered furniture away form direct sunlight.
  • Rotate furniture in the room from time to time to minimize wear patterns.
  • Keep flowers and household foliage from contact with upholstery
  • Rotate and reverse cushions and pillows weekly with to redistribute wear and prevent seams form shifting
  • Vacuum upholstered pieces weekly with a crevice tool extension to prevent abrasion from crumbs and dust.
  • Do not leave newspapers or other printed materials (which can "bleed" ink into fabric).
  • Blot, don't scrub, sorts and spills with a dry white terry or paper towel before the spot can "set."
  • Before attempting to remove any stain, you must first identify the fabric and correct cleaning method recommended by the manufacturer.

Comfort Folds & Wrinkles

On rounded backs and arms, comfort folds are built in to provide the necessary "give" so that the springs and fillings may respond. This suppleness is intentional and lengthens the life of the fabric.

Cushions generally do not retain an even welt and require occasional smoothing, straightening and rotation. Slight indentations, or "comfort wrinkles", may be noticed at button stress points. A few light pats will refresh the appearance of your cushions.
