wood surfaces and fabric of your Maxwell Thomas Upholstered Furniture.
Wood surfaces should be cleaned with a furniture polish, following the
manufacturer’s instructions.

abrasive cleaners, or similar cleaners or chemicals on the wood surfaces of this
product, as such use may void the warranty of this product.

chemicals on the fabric of this product, as such use may void the warranty of this product.
If your Maxwell Thomas Upholstered Furniture features vinyl fabric, use a gentle mix
of any mild soap and warm water to dissipate most common soil from the surface of
the cushion’s fabric. Using a soft cloth, wash the cushion’s fabric area to be cleaned
and rinsed. If stubborn dirt remains, such as a stain imbedded in the grain of the vinyl,
use the soft brush and, if necessary, a touch of cleaning powder. In both situations,
wipe the cushion’s fabric dry with a soft cloth.
If your Maxwell Thomas Upholstered Furniture features Crypton
®
fabric, first wipe off
excess spills with a dry cloth. Then, use a powdered enzyme detergent mixed with
water to clean the cushion’s fabric. If necessary, use a soft brush to treat stubborn
dirt. Wash off the soapy cleaner with water.
•
CAUTION
: Solvent cleaners are NOT recommended for use with Crypton
®
fabric.
NOTE
: Fabric manufacturers recommend regular dusting and vacuuming, and
removable cushions should be fluffed regularly.
