All Kress sofas are bench made using selected hardwoods. We heavily brace all stress joints with corner blocks.

For seating comfort we use exceptionally durable Super-Loop (no sag) spring construction, which compares very favorably with classic hand-tied coils. Super-Loop's rigid quality control program ensures the long life of the springs. Seats made with the springs and subjected to simulated life tests on a severe drop machine have shown no signs of deterioration after years of very hard wear. Our sofa frames are guaranteed for life.

Engineered for durability and comfort, our standard seat cushion filling features a core of high-density, soft-compressed polyurethane foam wrapped in soft 100% polyester fibers. Back pillows are bagged Dacron.

Our upholstered lines have seat cushions of spring and down or foam and down, with down-and-feather back pillows.

Each Kreiss item has a specific cleaning code:

Yacht cloth and polo fabrics feature a soil-and-stain resistant finish that makes clean up a breeze.

Spot wash by sponging briskly with a solution of natural soap in lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove soap and air dry.

For stubborn stains or suntan lotion, use a fabric spot remover. Follow the directions on the container. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove soap and air dry.

Solution-dyed acrylic does not promote mildew growth. However, mildew may grow on dirt and other foreign substances.

Protect against excessive:

Vacuum routinely.

Keep moist. Humidify if the climate is dry.

Do not use chemicals, saddle soap, cleaning solvents, furniture polish, oils, varnish, abrasive cleaners, soaps or ammonia water.

Note:
Always test the cleaning method in a hidden area first to convince yourself of the results.

These are recommended or suggested methods of cleaning, but the manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred while cleaning.

Liquid spills tend to "bead up" on the fabric surface. Quick action with a dry cloth is often all that is needed. Prevent soil build-up and keep the suede service looking crisp and new.

To lift off light stains and smudge marks, use Scotch tape or a soft eraser.

To remove water-soluble stains such as coffee, tea, juice, milk, wine, etc., dab the affected area with clean water, mild soapy water, or a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar. A blotting action is preferred. Eliminate excess soap or vinegar solution by dabbing again. "Rings" that appear after drying are usually the result of some residual soap or cleaning solution remaining in the fabric. Most disappear when cleaned again with water only.

For non-water-soluble stains such as oil, grease, shoe polish, etc., use a petroleum solvent such as naphtha (lighter fluid), mineral spirits, a powder spray such as K2R, or a spot remover containing perchloroethylene or other chlorinated solvent. Using a clean cloth moistened with the solvent, dab the stained area and then blot with a clean, dry cloth. Repeat if necessary. Careful rubbing with fine sandpaper will usually repair minor cigarette burns and any areas with surface damage.

Shellstone is a very delicate marble. Never get it wet. If it does get wet, let it dry naturally.

Do not try to clean shellstone with any sort of chemical. We recommend gently rubbing very fine sandpaper or steal wool on the affected area.

To achieve our superior look and finish, we sand and stain most of our wood furniture by hand, then seal it with a lacquer sealer and, finally, hand-rub it with natural wax.

Always remember that wood fibers are soft and crush or compress easily when heavy objects are placed on them or hit them firmly from above. To preserve the finish on your Kreiss furniture, we always recommend that you:

• Do not place it in direct sunlight
• Do not put it next to a heating unit
• Do not place it next to a humidifier or in a very humid area
• Do not use it in areas where it is wet, flooded, or rainy
• Do not install it in areas where temperatures drastically change.

If water, wine, or soda spills on the wood, simply wipe it off immediately with a water-dampened cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Make sure the spill does not get underneath the base or legs of the piece. Use this method to clean the wood on a regular basis.

On some wood products, lemon or orange oil works well for cleaning and polishing.

Cast stone pieces are made with glass fiber-reinforced concrete known as GFRC, a sprayed mixture of concrete and fiberglass.

The best way to clean scuff marks or fingerprints is to sand the piece lightly with 400 grit sandpaper. The color goes all the way through the material, so there is no danger of sanding too hard and removing the color. You may also use cold water with any kind of soap or cleaner. Water should dry and not leave any ring.

The finish is truly a powder with the color added. Kreiss powder coat finishes are made with polyester (among other materials) to enhance their resistance to ultra violet light, as most of our pieces sit directly in the sun.

These finishes are very easy to clean with most liquid cleaners or sprays applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Although our powder-coat finishes will not chip or scratch, it is best to avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the gloss.
