CAUTION
With a little care you can prolong the life of your
Can Sofa and keep the foam and fabric in
good condition.
Follow the instructions for the materials of your
specific sofa to make sure that it stays in the best
shape for as long as possible.
The information below is only intended as a general
guideline. For more information on how to remove
specific stains, please enquire where you bought
the furniture.
• Always remove stains quickly before they can do
any permanent damage to the furniture.
• Avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or
near a strong heat source to reduce changes. HAY
only uses top-quality fabrics but all fabrics fade, and
seams weaken, when exposed to sunlight or strong
heat.
• General exposure to dust and dirt wears down
the fabric. Regular cleaning is important in order
to keep the upholstery looking its best and to
prolong its life.
• The upholstery is fixed and cannot be removed.
• When you move your furniture, make sure you lift it
rather than pulling or pushing it to avoid damaging
the legs and mountings.
• Avoid improper use such as sitting on the back
or armrests, or standing on the sofa.
• Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface
with sharp objects.
• Smooth out creases and wrinkles with your hand
after use to even out the fabric and prevent seam
lines from becoming skewed. (See step 17-18).
• Tighten up the screws after one to two months’
use and whenever required.
• Plump the cushions regularly to maintain the
shape.
• Turn the cushions regularly to avoid patinating on
one side only.
