Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Do you have a showroom?

Unfortunately we don't currently have any showrooms where our products can be seen in person. In an effort to provide our customers with the most competitive prices all our products ship direct from our warehouse to your home.

We do offer free sample swatches if your are interested in experiencing our fabrics and confirming your color selection. We understand that this is not the same as touching or feeling our products in person, however we encourage you to check out our product reviews from our happy customers!

Does your upholstery show claw marks?

Yes. Our microfiber upholstery fabrics have tiny fibers that stick up from the base of the fabric called "pile" that when brushed against the weave of the fabric will appear darker than the surrounding fabric due to the way light reflects off these tiny fibers. This is a natural characteristic of all microfiber fabrics and cannot be avoided as this is what gives microfiber fabrics their velvety softness. In the case of claw marks, these will typically disappear altogether with normal use, or with a light massaging of the affected area. Please refer to our care guide for additional care instructions.

How do I care for my products?

▪ Vacuum the sofa regularly: Use a soft-bristled vacuum attachment to remove loose dirt, dust, and pet hair. Do this at least once a week to prevent dirt buildup.

▪ Treat spills and stains immediately: Soak stain with cool water and blot spills and stains with a paper towel as soon as possible. Avoid rubbing the stain, as this can cause it to spread.

▪ For stubborn stains, use a specialized microfiber cleaning solution or mild detergent mixed with water to clean the area. Always test the cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't damage or discolor the fabric.

▪ Do not use use harsh chemicals: Avoid using bleach, ammonia, or other harsh chemicals to clean your microfiber sofa. These can damage the fabric and cause discoloration.

▪ Use a soft brush to restore the fabric's texture: Over time, the microfiber fabric may become matted or flattened. Use a soft-bristled brush to restore the fabric's texture by brushing it gently in a circular motion.

▪ In the case of scratches, brushing your microfiber sofa with a soft-bristled brush can help to restore the texture of the fabric and reduce the appearance of scratches. Brush gently in a circular motion.

▪ For more deeply seated scratches, lightly massage the affected area and repeat the above over the course of a few days. Sometimes the fabric just needs a little extra time for the fabric to expand and contract and reset the fiber position before these will dissappear.

▪ Rotate the cushions: To prevent uneven wear, rotate the cushions on your microfiber sofa regularly.

▪ Avoid direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause the fabric to fade and lose its color. Try to position your microfiber sofa away from direct sunlight or use window treatments to block out the sun.

▪ While our fabrics are durable and scratch resistant, they are not indestructible. Pets should be discouraged from scratching or biting the fabric.

By following these care instructions, you can keep your microfiber sofa looking and feeling like new for years to come.
