The best way to look after any fabric sofa is to give it a thorough vacuum every week. On the Canterbury, the seat and back cushions are removable, so you can take them off to make sure you capture any dust or dirt that may be hiding underneath. This will help to make sure that no gritty particles have the chance to become ingrained in the fabric of your sofa.

Rather than picking up sofa cleaning products that may not be tailored to the particular fabric of your sofa, we recommend investing in one of our specialist fabric sofa care kits to carry out any cleaning. 

This care kit includes specially developed products to help keep the fabric of your Canterbury looking spotless and beautiful. There are products tailored to a variety of different stains, so you’ll have everything you need to tackle any pesky little marks on the fabric of your sofa. This includes fresh stains, grease and oil stains, old and resistant stains as well as pet stains. Full instructions are included to advise you of the best way to clean your sofa. 

If you accidentally spill on your Canterbury sofa, you should try to blot it up as soon as possible - the more quickly you act, the more likely it will be that you can stop any staining. Use a clean, dry cloth and gently dab (never rub), moving the liquid towards the centre of the spillage. 

When the excess liquid has been blotted up, you can gently wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth, rinsing regularly until the stain has been removed. Allow to dry naturally and then vacuum to revive the pile. Your sofa should look as good as new. 

Important tip: To avoid water marks after cleaning we advise that you dampen a colourfast cloth with boiled water from a kettle and gently wipe the entire panel or cushion from seam to seam. This will help to prevent any water stains as the fabric dries.
