The cleaning of fabrics should always be carried out in accordance with the wash label on each product. The first thing to do is to vacuum the stained part to remove any dust that may have penetrated into the fabric. If you are faced with more stubborn stains, use a clothes brush to remove the dirt. The last step is to wash the fabric with a solution of lukewarm water with a small amount of bicarbonate. Once you’ve made this mixture, take some white blotting paper, moisten it and then dab at the stains you want to remove. Repeat this process 2-3 times, taking care never to leave the area wet. At the end, remove the dirt using dry blotting paper and make sure that the part does not remain wet.
We have a section entirely dedicated to our upholstery in which we list types, characteristics and maintenance advice.
As is the case with cashmere jumpers or natural fibres in general, natural upholstery can also be subject to the formation of the ‘pilling’ effect (i.e. the formation of unsightly dots on the seat) when the sofa/armchair is used. This effect is caused by friction and can be treated with a normal lint remover.
It is worth remembering that your sofa should be cared for like any other piece of furniture or clothing and requires constant cleaning and maintenance. The good news is that the pilling effect is only temporary – in fact it tends to disappear over time as it is removed.
The hides used by Calia Italia are exclusively natural products that undergo various tanning processes. However, these processes do not alter the original characteristics of each coat. And the presence of natural signs such as healed scars, differences in grain, wrinkles, veining and different colour tones are not to be considered a defect but instead a guarantee of its pure authenticity.
Rearranging the cushions and backs of our products is an operation that should be carried out periodically so that the product is always well-kept and does not lose its original appearance. This simple operation consists of manipulating the padding (whether fixed or removable) and has the function of reviving the fibres contained within the padding, whether natural (such as feathers) or synthetic (such as polyester fibres).
This is the normal behaviour of our products after even brief use. The polyurethane in the upholstery maintains its characteristics of elasticity and resistance to sinking, which is an intrinsic property allowing it to return to its original position. With use (even brief use) the upholstery will begin to show the formation of surface undulations and ripples due to the movement/relaxation required for the upholstery to ensure (together with the polyurethane) the comfort of the product. Therefore, the product has a normal evolution and does not require any intervention. In order to reduce this surface effect, it is advisable to manipulate the upholstery after use through consisting smoothing of the leather with hand movements that move from the centre towards the outside of the seat.
Products with manual sliding mechanisms are designed so that the seats only slide open when the user requests it and not when the user is simply sitting on the sofa. For this to happen the seats require a certain amount of force to slide open.
Rechargeable batteries need only a few requirements in order to function properly and last for a long time. Each rechargeable battery product includes an illustrated leaflet describing these requirements. It is reproduced below.
The touch sensor system has a control unit capable of detecting the command and transferring it to the actuator. It may be the case that both sensors are inadvertently touched to the extent that the control unit is unable to define whether to open or close the mechanism. In order to reset the control unit and thus resume normal operation of the product, it is necessary to disconnect the power cable for at least 10 minutes and then reconnect it. The control unit will then reset and resume normal operation.

Yes, it is possible, subject to a technical feasibility check and a possible surcharge.
The central foot is designed like this so that it can guarantee the correct support of the sofa on the perimeter feet without hindrance. The function of the central (or structural) foot is to provide greater support to the sofa, giving it an additional guarantee of hold when the sofa is stressed by use. Normally this foot is not present under armchairs and 2-seater sofas due to their reduced dimensions.
