All Gus* sofas & sectionals feature kiln-dried hardwood or stainless steel frames and employ no-sag spring construction to produce a dependable, long lasting support. Cushions are made with either PET fill, a high-density upholstery foam, or a combination of both to ensure each one holds its shape while providing outstanding comfort and support.
Upon unpacking your new Gus* sofa, we recommend you take the time to ‘model’ it with your hands in order to ensure it returns to its initial appearance which will altered slightly during transportation. A light smoothing out of the upholstery and cushions will restore the sofa to its intended aesthetic quality.
Fabric
For regular maintenance and to maintain the nap of the fabric, we recommend vacuuming your sofa regularly. Dab spills immediately with an absorbent cloth.
Please ask for our cleaning guide, available by request, for details on how to properly clean a specific fabric. If the Cleaning Code calls for spot cleaning with water/water based cleaners, we recommend using distilled water rather than untreated tap water. Always test in an inconspicuous area first before using any product.
For thorough cleaning, we recommend professional dry cleaning or a professional in-home upholstery cleaning service. Protect your furniture from direct sunlight, as this may cause the fabric to fade unevenly.
Leather
Gus* uses aniline dyed leather, which creates a soft, supple product that will become richer as the years pass. The dye penetrates the hide with colour while allowing the natural grain to show through, as it is a natural product. Leather has unique characteristics shaped by nature, including subtle variations and markings.
All Gus* leather is easily maintained without polishes, preservers or leather soaps; however, it is possible to use a non-toxic leather conditioner if you prefer. For routine maintenance, simply dust or vacuum to keep furniture looking good.
Protect your furniture from direct sunlight as this may cause the leather to fade unevenly. Dab spills immediately with a soft cloth dampened in distilled water.
Most surface marks will fade over time if you rub them with your finger – natural oils are released to help the marks disappear; all leather will wear over time giving your piece its own unique character.
