How do I clean and care for my Tamarama Sectional Sofa?Updated 5 days ago

Removable covers
The Tamarama's covers are removable and washable. Follow the instructions on the care label, and make sure covers are completely dry before you put them back on.

Fixed frame, arm and lining covers
Don't remove the lining covers to wash them, even though they have zippers. Spot clean only, with warm water and a mild detergent. Blot with a clean cloth, don't scrub, and don't wet the filling.

Everyday care

  • Vacuum on low suction to remove dust and grit.
  • Rotate and plump your cushions regularly to avoid "favorite spot" wear.
  • Keep it out of direct sunlight to stop the fabric fading.
  • Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid stiff brushes and harsh chemicals.

Are the covers meant to look wrinkled?
Yes. The covers have a relaxed, lived-in look with a slight wrinkle, a bit like fresh linen. Smoothing and straightening them now and then keeps the shape sharp.

Pilling
Small fabric balls (pilling) can appear with everyday use and aren't a fault. Check your care label to see whether a battery-operated pilling tool is suitable.

Don't stand or jump on the cushions, backrests or arms, and lift the sofa rather than dragging it.
