Overview
Century builds to order, so care follows the specific cover and finish chosen — not the model. Keep the order specification with your home records; it is the only reliable long-term record of how the piece should be cleaned.

Cleaning Recommendations
- Test any cleaner on a hidden seam first
- Vacuum weekly; professional cleaning every 18–24 months for high-use pieces
Care Recommendations
- Plump and rotate down-blend cushions weekly — they need it more than foam does
- Have hand-tied seating inspected professionally rather than tightened at home
Protection Tips
- Consider a professionally applied fabric protector on light custom covers at delivery
Florida Considerations
- Down and feather blends absorb humidity; run the room's A/C rather than letting a closed vacation home sit warm and damp
Common Problems
- Down cushion flattening
- Finish marking from damp glassware
Common Mistakes
- Skipping weekly plumping on down blends and then calling it sagging
Warranty Information
- Construction coverage is long; cover wear, down softening, and finish handling are treated as maintenance
Registration Information
- Keep the order specification sheet — it lists the exact fabric, finish, and cushion fill
