Cleaning & Care
Recommended Cleaning Solution: Mixture of Tide® or Oxiclean® and warm water (1 teaspoon of soap for every 16 ounces water)
For general spills, such as water, coffee, wine, etc.:
Gently blot with dry cloth to remove spill, if the spill has dried, dampen the cloth with water and gently work the spill in a circular motion. Avoid rubbing the infected area aggressively. Once the spill has been completely removed, it is important to wipe the surface with a dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
If the spill has evolved into a stain, a mixture of a mild soap, and water (See recommendation above) should be used to remove the stain. Dampen a cloth with the mixture and gently work the stain in a circular motion. Avoid rubbing the infected area aggressively and be sure not to over saturate the fabric. After the stain is removed, dampen a cloth with water only and wipe away any excess soap left behind, and wipe the surface with a dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
For tougher, non-liquid spills, such as mustard, mayonnaise, sunscreen, etc.:
Remove the excess contaminant from the surface of the fabric before cleaning. If the spill has dried up on the fabric, a soft brush or butter knife should be used to remove the dried contaminants before any liquid cleaning treatment is performed. After the contaminants have been removed, proceed with the cleaning method above.
For Healthcare stains, such as Blood, Urine, Disinfectant, etc.:
A water to bleach solution of 5:1 is recommended. It is important to rinse the cleaned area with water, and dry after applying the bleach solution.
Solvents:
The use of solvents may be necessary when all other cleaning methods have been exhausted, and the stain remains. (It is recommended that solvents are used on Polyurethane and Vinyl fabrics only). Spray the solvent directly onto the stain and allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes, avoid over saturating the fabric. Gently work the stain in a circular motion, and be sure to avoid rubbing the infected area aggressively. After cleaning, make sure to wipe the fabric down with a damp cloth to remove any excess cleaning solution, and then wipe down with a dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
Sample Ordering

Non-Express colors can be ordered from Culp Contract.
Mixed Upholstery Orders
Mixed upholstery orders are encouraged. If one upholstery is used on the seat and a different upholstery is used on the back, pricing is calculated by averaging the grades of the two upholsteries and rounding up. If a product has 3 or 4 upholstery locations, the grade for each location is added together then averaged. All decimals are rounded up to the next higher grade.
Example 1: Seat at Grade 4 and back at Grade 2, the chair will be priced at Grade 3.
Example 2: Seat at Grade 4, back and arm panels at Grade 10, the chair will be priced at Grade 8. (10+10+4 = 24)
For any other special combinations or requirements, please inquire.
