Care

How do I clean it?

We recommend vacuuming it once/month and spot cleaning as necessary with the method outlined below

What happens if I spill on it?

Most stains will come off by blotting them with a damp paper towel.

However, if a stain is troublesome, we recommend:

  • Prepare a cleaning solution of 1/4 tsp mild dishwashing liquid per 1 cup of lukewarm water
  • Work the solution into the affected area by lightly scrubbing the area with a sponge or soft bristle brush. Make sure to work from the outside of the stain inward so as not to spread the stain and rinse your sponge or brush frequently.
  • Allow cleaning solution to soak into the fabric.
  • Rinse and dry thoroughly to remove all soap residues, as residues will attract dirt.
  • Allow fabric to air dry
