Proper care is important when it comes to extending the attractiveness of our textiles. Be sure to follow these guidelines when caring for your items:
- Always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations.
- Just as you do with your garments, be sure to also clean all household textiles before storing them away.
- Be sure to address stains and spills as soon as they occur to ensure a greater likelihood that they will be removed.
- Don’t allow items to become extremely soiled before cleaning. The heavier the soil, the less likely it is that it can all be removed.
- Repair tears and damage immediately.
- Protect textiles (and furniture) from sunlight.
