Bayside Furniture

The upholstery our the fabric and velvet sofas is not allowed to be washed. Taking off the cushion covers and washing these in a machine (even at low temperature) will lighten the colour and shrink the fabric.

If pilling should occur, don't be alarmed. It's a result of excess fibre coming off the fabric or from external sources. This is not a defect but a characteristic of many upholstered fabrics.

To keep your sofa in optimal condition we recommend the following:

  • Avoid placing the sofa in direct sunlight.
  • If vacuuming is needed, use the lowest suction and a soft upholstery attachment.
  • Treat spills immediately. Blot up as much of the spill as possible with a clean, dry, white cloth. Don´t rub.
  • In case of a stain, use a clean, slightly damp white cloth, blotting from the outer edge to the centre of the stain.
  • Do not use any chemical products not designed for polyester.
  • To remove pilling, we recommend using an antipilling machine.

 

Metal Structure

  • Dust regularly using a soft dry cloth.
  • For a more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and warm water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
  • Do not use steel wool, sandpaper, mineral acid, bleach, or chlorine cleaners on metal surfaces.
  • Do not drag the furniture along the floor, as it might damage the protective coating, cause rusting or leave permanent marks on the floor.
  • Always lift the furniture when moving them from place to place.
