The height, width, and depth of every piece of furniture can be found on the website and in the back of the Duresta Collection Brochure. The measurements refer to the maximum size of the sofas. For example the height of the sofa includes the height with the back cushions.

Although every effort has been made to ensure that dimensions are accurate, due to the handcrafted nature of our products, please allow a tolerance of +/- 3cm.

It is important to check that your sofa and chair will fit into your home prior to purchase. We do have a number of options on certain models to allow for ease of delivery.

1. Certain models have removable back legs – this is highlighted on the model specification for each model, on the website, and in the brochure
2. It may help for you to find out the height of the sofa without the back cushions and legs (please ask your retailer)

All Duresta aniline dyed leathers include a light surface finish to help resist stains and scratches. In the event of an accidental spillage, it is imperative to act quickly. If you are in any doubt, please seek help from a professional upholstery cleaning company.

• Carefully soak up any excess liquid, ideally using the edge of a paper towel, then dab gently with a fresh towel, taking care to avoid spreading or soaking in the remaining liquid.
• Please note that not all types of stains will clean away.
• Please bear in mind that all aniline leather requires some maintenance. In addition to regular dusting – light scratches and scuffs can be removed by gently buffing with a slightly damp, soft cloth or chamois.
• It is important to rub very gently, to avoid any colour change.
• Never use saddle soap, cleaning solvents, furniture polish, oils, waxes, abrasive cleaners, general stain removers, and any silicone or ammonia-based products.
• Though scratch removal cream can be very effective, always check that they are suitable for aniline leathers before use.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
We recommend that you vacuum your Duresta furniture occasionally, using a soft brush attachment. If you have feather seat interiors – brush the cover with a soft brush, as there is a risk that a vacuum could pull the feathers into the cushion fabric. Over time, minute dirt particles will settle on your furniture and will impregnate the fibres of the fabric. Even though these particles are small, they can be sharp and could cause premature wearing of the fabric.

PILLING OR BOBBLING
Short and loose fibres that are woven into the fabric during production are present in many new fabrics and can cause fabrics to pill. This results in small tufts of fibres appearing on the top surface of the fabric. These can easily be removed using a de-pilling device. The initial pilling of new fabrics is not detrimental to the durability of the furniture.

DRALONS
Dralons are generally a hard-wearing durable fabric. To meet current fire regulations and to increase durability, many dralons now have a back coating of flame retardant chemicals. This backing can cause the fabrics to stiffen and crease. Creasing is a characteristic of modern dralons and should not be considered a fault, as it is not detrimental to the performance of the fabric.

It is difficult to give precise instructions on cleaning your Duresta furniture as different fibres and fabric construction combined with local environmental factors require specialist cleaning techniques.

SPOTS AND SPILLS
In the unfortunate event of a spillage, we recommend that you act as quickly as possible. Do not rub, soak the material, or allow the stain to dry and set. Absorb the spillage using a white kitchen roll or a white bleach-free dry absorbent cloth. If you are in any doubt, please seek help from a professional upholstery cleaning company.

• Where solids are concerned, scrape up with a blunt knife or spatula, being careful not to spread the stain further.
• Treat wine, spirits, or coffee stains with distilled water only.
• For oil and grease marks, use a proprietary cleaning fluid. We recommend that you purchase an upholstery cleaning fluid and keep it safely stored at home for future use.
• Some stains respond better to removal whilst they are still wet. Before tackling the stain with any cleaning fluid, we recommend that you perform a test on an unexposed part of the fabric to ensure no further damage is caused.
• Some cleaning fluids can affect the dye in certain fabrics, causing ringing or smudging.
