Caring for a light color accent chair with a leather-look fabric involves a few key steps to keep it looking its best. Here’s a guide specifically for your ARV Furniture chair:
Regular Cleaning
Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris from the surface and crevices.
Wiping: For regular cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Wipe down the chair gently to remove any spots or stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: After cleaning, use a dry, soft cloth to remove excess moisture and prevent water spots.
Spot Cleaning
Blot, Don’t Rub: If you spill something, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
Mild Cleaners: Use a mild soap solution or a fabric cleaner designed for synthetic or faux leather. Apply it to a cloth first, then gently clean the affected area.
Rinse and Dry: After cleaning, wipe the area with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue, then dry with a soft cloth.
Preventing Damage
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Position the chair away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and heat damage.
Keep Away from Heat Sources: Avoid placing the chair near radiators, heaters, or air vents to prevent cracking or warping.
Protect from Sharp Objects: Be cautious with sharp objects or rough materials that could scratch or damage the surface.
Conditioning (If Applicable)
Check the Manufacturer’s Instructions: Some faux leathers might benefit from occasional conditioning. Check ARV Furniture’s care guidelines to see if this is recommended.
Use a Suitable Conditioner: If conditioning is advised, use a product designed for synthetic leather. Test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Professional Cleaning
Consult the Manufacturer: For deep cleaning or persistent stains, consult ARV Furniture or a professional upholstery cleaner who specializes in faux leather.
Follow Guidelines: Adhere to any specific recommendations from the manufacturer to avoid voiding any warranties.
By following these steps, you can keep your accent chair looking fresh and stylish for years to come!
