We appriciate your choice of Bayview Furniture and know that quality furniture is a major investment. With proper care, furniture can give you beauty and enjoyment, as well as function, for years to come. The following will help you clean and care for it.

All of the upholstered furniture we sell here at Bayview Furniture is crafted for many years of comfort and performance. To help keep your upholstery looking new, certain precautions and cleaning instructions should be followed.
Moondance Collection - Stanley

All cushions and pillows should be reversed on a regular basis. This keeps the filling evenly distributed for maximum comfort.

All fabrics have a cleaning code. Your salesperson will help you learn the code for the piece or pieces you have purchased.

Our furniture complies with all Upholstered Furniture Action Council (UFAC) criteria established to reduce, but not necessarily eliminate, ignition of fabric and filling by a burning cigarette.

Due to the wide range of fibers used today, it is impossible to publish cleaning instructions that apply to all fabrics. We recommend using a professional cleaning service whenever possible.

Satisfactory results are usually achieved by cleaning with a nonwater-based foam cleaner, provided that manufacturer’s directions are carefully followed. Any product or technique should always be tested on an inconspicuous area before attempting overall cleaning. Bayview Furniture cannot endorse any particular product or cleaning method for fabric.
