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
