With proper care, your Stanton upholstered furniture will retain its beautiful appearance and superior comfort for many years. We suggest that you observe the following simple care steps: Do not attempt to close a sleeper unit with sheets, bedspreads, blankets or pillows on the mattress as this can cause failure of the sleeper unit and will void sleeper warranty. Avoid placing furniture where it is exposed to direct sunlight. Loose cushions should be turned periodically. An occasional "once over lightly" with a soft brush vacuum attachment will prevent surface dirt from being forced into the fabric. Exposed wood should be dusted as needed with a clean, lint-free absorbent cloth. To clean wood parts, use a soft, damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild soap solution and rinse with clean, cool water. Dry with a soft cloth. For extra protection of exposed wood parts, use a light application of good quality furniture polish, rubbing with the grain. When dry, buff with a soft cloth. Wood scratches and nicks can be touched up with a crayon, shoe polish or touch-up stick. The following cleaning techniques have been sorted into industry-accepted clean-ability codes. Before attempting to remove any stain, however, fabric should be tested with a stain-removing product to ensure that the color and / or fabric will not be damaged.     W - Fabric coded with "W" should be spot cleaned with water-based shampoo or foaming upholstery cleaner. A solution of two tablespoons of ammoniated detergent (such as "Ajax") mixed with a quart of water can be used when removing water-based stains such as ketchup, soft drinks, or alcoholic beverages. The stain should be wiped gently with a dampened cloth or sponge. (A soft bristled brush may be used.) Mixture should be used sparingly, being careful not to over wet. To avoid circling, move from outer edge of stain toward its center. Cushion casings should not be removed and laundered.   S - Fabric coded with "S" should be spot cleaned with dry cleaning solvent only. Care should be taken not to saturate the fabric. For oil-based stains such as salad dressing, butter and greasy foods, spot cleaning shold be done using a cloth dampened with a water free dry cleaning product, such as "Carbona" or "Energine," using the same procedures outlined above. Texize K2R Spot Remover" can be used on woven fabrics only. Cushion casings should not be removed and dry-cleaned.   WS - Fabric coded with "WS" can be cleaned using either the "W" or "S" cleaning methods.   X - Frequent vacuuming or brushing only are recommended to prevent soiling. Spot cleaning and complete cleaning should be done by a certified professional cleaning service only.   Basic Care of Leather Upholstery Keep leather looking new with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, gently wipe spots with a clean cloth and lukewarm water. If the stain persists, use a mild soap and dry excess moisture with a clean cloth. Never allow spills to set. Never use detergents or alcohol-based products to celan spots. Never place leather goods in direct sunlight. All natural leather may fade. Take care not to place your furniture too near a radiator or similar heat source. Do not use a commercial leather cleaner. Repairing Leather   If you happen to rip, cut, burn or scratch your leather furniture, it can be repaired rather easily by a professional leather technician. In most cases, these leathers can be repaired so the eye will never see it.   Overall Cleaning   The furniture industry recommends professional cleaning when overall cleaning is necessary.
