New Classic FURNITURE Casegoods Wood Care
WOOD CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep furniture out of direct sunlight to avoid sun and light damage and color
bleaching. Keep furniture away from direct heating and cooling sources as they
affect the moisture content of the wood.
Do not place hot items directly on the wood surface. Use trivets or mats under
hot dishes and placemats under china, ceramics, silver or other objects that
can scratch the surface. Use coasters under all glass, particularly those
containing alcohol or citrus juices. Many common foods and drinks contain
acids that will etch or dull the wood surface. Clean wood with a soft, dry
cloth to remove dust. Use a wood cleaner or protection agent to remove dirt
and grime and restore the sheen to the wood finish, being careful not to
transfer the cleaning agent to your uphol-stered fabrics.
Casegoods Care Instructions
At New Classic Furniture, we use Velvet and Chenille fabrics that are specially manufactured to achieve a slightly distressed or “vintage” appearance. This antiqued or vintage look of the fabrics is achieved by stone washing and finishing the fabric. The fabric will include intentional markings made by the washing and finishing process. Velvet construction fabrics, Chenille yarns, Suede Fabrics, and Faux Furs are common upholstery fabrics that have a nap, using high pile yarns. To “bloom” or “plump” pile yarns to their original state from the compression of packaging materials during shipment, please follow the directions below:
- Using an upholstery brush with soft, flexible bristles, brush the fabric against the grain, to lift the pile yarns up and away from the fabric base; depending on the fabric and yarn type, a second brushing may be required.
- If you own a small hand-held, or commercial steamer, next gently steam the affected areas of the fabric, using small bursts of steam that will “bloom” or plump the pile and yarns. Never touch the steamer directly to the fabric.
- If your steamer has a brush attachment, follow the step above by brushing against the grain of the fabric with the bristle side of the brush attachment to lift the pile and yarns.
NOTE : When brushing your hand with or down the grain of a nap or pile fabric, the fabric will feel smooth; when brushing your hand against the grain of a pile fabric, the fabric will feel rough.
Fabric Care Instructions
Your fabric has a cleaning code that will guide you on proper care. If you cannot locate the cleaning code on the labeling, please refer to our website or email us at sales@newclassicfurniture.com
- Code “W” is used on fabrics that should be cleaned with water based cleaning agents. Spot clean using foam from only water based cleaners, or non-solvent cleaning products. Apply foam with a soft brush in a circular motion, and vacuum when dry.
- On fabrics with an “S” code, use a mild water free cleaning solvent or dry cleaning product. Make sure the room is well ventilated when using.
- Code“W-S”fabric can be cleaned with either water or solvent based products. Use a mild solvent, an upholstery shampoo, or the foam from a mild detergent.
- Clean this fabric by vacuuming or gently brushing only. NEVER use any cleaning agents at all. Any cleaning product whether water or solvent based may cause staining, shrinkage or distortion of the fabric surface pile.
General Guidelines
- Regularly clean your fabric by vacuuming or light brush-ing.
- Test cleaning product in an inconspicuous area first to guard against color bleeding or fabric shrinkage.
- Call a professional when your upholstery needs overall cleaning.
