BCS-Design-and-Finishes

Due to the fact that our products are made individually by hand and not mass-produced, and also because of the nature of some of the timbers used there will be natural variations in colour and possible slight differences in design. No guarantee is given that the furniture supplied will be an exact replica in terms of colour, finish and design as those displayed in The Baby Cot Shop showroom or on the website. The same applies to fabric which are produced in lots. Lots may vary slightly from the samples. Please note, the colours of fabrics and wallpaper can sometimes vary greatly from the original image on a computer screen, if required, you can always order a sample.

 

BCS-Upholstery-Fabric

Pile pressure marking and shade variations are common amongst pile fabrics like velvets and chenilles. This happens through normal use when the pile direction is changed, causing differences in light reflection when the pile is flattened. This can be minimised by vacuuming and brushing the pile in the opposite direction and frequently turning cushions. Please be advised this is a natural characteristic of these fabric types. It is not a fault and does not affect the durability and hard-wearing properties of the material.

The natural bleaching effect of direct sunlight may cause fabric colours to fade if exposed for long periods of time. To keep your fabrics out of direct sunlight make note of how direct sunlight travels through your room throughout the day, especially during the midday sun when it is at its most powerful. Rearranging your room to keep direct sunlight to a minimum will help to preserve the colour of our fabrics. Other solutions include window film, solar blinds and curtains to block out the sun.

In some cases, dye transfer from clothing such as denim may be transferred onto upholstery fabrics. So watch out for wearing brand new dark clothing on lighter coloured fabrics, where it is likely to be more apparent. 

Please note that the colours of fabrics can sometimes vary from the original image on a computer screen, if required, you can always order a sample. Natural fabrics such us cottons, silk, etc. can have slubs, this is not an imperfection it is a natural characteristic of the fabric.

 

Cleaning-BCS-Furniture

Each fabric has its own cleaning instructions and we advise you check these before you start any cleaning. Most of our fabrics are machine washable to 30 degrees. Wash with ordinary detergent and water and drip dry after washing (do not tumble dry or place over a direct heat source such as a radiator) and re-fit covers whilst still damp - this will ensure a good fit as covers have a little more give if damp.

 

Cleaning Your Furniture

Professional Clean only, we advise testing an unseen part of the fabric first.
Absorb wet stains immediately by pressing firmly with a clean dry cloth.
Scrape off solids but make sure you don’t go against the grain.

The bases on which we process information about you

The law requires us to determine under which of defined bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.

If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant, then we shall immediately stop processing your data.

If the basis changes then, if required by law, we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.

1. Information we process because we have a contractual obligation with you

  • record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of our business
  • responding to unsolicited communication from you to which we believe you would expect a response
