The microfibres are a type of synthetic fabric obtained by very dense weaving. Decreasing the thickness of the yarn as much as possible produces the ultramicrofibre that ensures greater resistance to abrasion and wear and tear. Dreamfibre represents the exclusive family of Natuzzi ultramicrofibres, ideal for covering our products, thanks to its practical and elegant properties.
Cleaning cat. "A" Dreamfibre coverings
The following instructions must be followed to remove stains from the Dreamfibre ultramicrofibres, depending on the type of stain:
Liqueurs
Dab with absorbent paper or a white, nonabrasive cloth and then remove the stain. Wash using only colourless, mild soapsuds, obtained by shaking the container vigorously, if the stain persists. Then remove the stain using only 10% denatured alcohol diluted in water. Dry immediately with warm air using a hair dryer. Direct the jet of warm air from the outside working towards the centre of the damp area.
Soft drinks/wine
Dab with absorbent paper or a white, nonabrasive cloth and then remove the stain. Remove the stain using only a solution of one part vinegar to one part water if the stain persists. Then wash using only colourless, neutral soapsuds obtained by shaking the container vigorously. Finally dab the soapsuds with a cloth dampened with water. Dry immediately with warm air using a hair dryer. Direct the jet of warm air from the outside working towards the centre of the damp area.
Coffee/tea
Dab with absorbent paper or a white, nonabrasive cloth and then remove the stain. If the stain persists, wash using only colourless, mild soapsuds, obtained by shaking the container vigorously. Then remove the stain using only a solution of 10% ammonia diluted in water. Dry immediately with warm air using a hair dryer. Direct the jet of warm air from the outside working towards the centre of the damp area.
Beer
Dab with absorbent paper or a white, nonabrasive cloth and then remove the stain. If the stain persists, remove the stain using only warm water (max 40°C / 104°F) diluted with 3% denatured alcohol in water. Dry immediately with warm air using a hair dryer. Direct the jet of warm air from the outside working towards the centre of the damp area.
Oil
Dab with absorbent paper or a white, nonabrasive cloth and then remove the stain. Wash the stain using only colourless, mild soapsuds, obtained by shaking the container vigorously. Absorb the stain as much as possible using absorbent paper. Remove the stain using a white, nonabrasive cloth dampened only with perchloroethylene, if the stain persists. Absorb as much of the stain as possible with absorbent paper. Dry immediately with warm air using a hair dryer. Direct the jet of warm air from the outside working towards the centre of the damp area.
Warning
•Position the sofa at least 50 cm. from sources of heat such as heaters or radiators.
•Avoid exposing the sofa to direct sunlight or to powerful lamps to ensure the colour of the covering remains bright.
•To remove dust, brush delicately using a brush with soft bristles or use a vacuum cleaner with the medium power output setting using the most suitable accessory supplied with the cleaner and taking care not to rub the accessory directly against the covering.
•To maintain the aesthetic appearance it is advisable to treat each stain immediately before it becomes absorbed excessively: this will avoid prolonged or abrasive treatments being required.
•If it is found necessary to use solvents, avoid applying the solvents directly on the stain. Pour the solvent onto a clean cloth: each treatment should first be tested on a hidden area of the sofa covering.
•Clean the stain using a circular movement, working from the outside towards the centre. Always take care to rub each stain delicately.
•If you purchase a new sofa, with a covering that is an identical article and/or has the same colour as a sofa that you already own, it is possible that you may note slight differences in shades of colour between the two.
