Fabric Care

Fabric

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your fabric furniture, regular and proper maintenance is essential. Here are some practical tips for effectively cleaning and protecting your fabric furniture:


1. Regular cleaning:
  • Dusting: Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, crumbs or pet hair. Gently vacuum cushions, seams and hard-to-reach areas to prevent dirt build-up.
  • Dry Brushing: For fabrics that cannot be washed in water, use a soft brush to remove surface particles without damaging the fibers.

2. Task processing:
  • Act quickly: Immediately blot the stain with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb the liquid. Avoid rubbing to avoid setting the stain further.
  • Mild soap or white vinegar: Prepare a solution of lukewarm water with a few drops of Marseille soap or white vinegar. Gently dab the stain with a clean cloth soaked in this solution, rinse with a damp cloth and let air dry.
  • Specific stain removers: For more stubborn stains, use a stain remover suitable for upholstery fabrics. Always carry out a preliminary test on an inconspicuous area.

3. Deep cleaning:
  • Washing the covers: If the covers are removable, wash them according to the instructions on the label (wash at low temperature or delicate cycle). Dry flat to avoid deformation.
  • Steam cleaning: Use a steam cleaner on low heat to disinfect and freshen durable fabrics. Avoid this method for delicate fabrics like velvet or silk.
  • Professionals: For delicate or heavily stained fabrics, use a professional cleaning service for safe treatment.

4. Protection and prevention:
  • Waterproofing: Apply a waterproofing spray to create a barrier against liquids and stains. Make sure the product is compatible with the type of fabric.
  • Sun Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading and fiber embrittlement.
  • Covers or throws: Protect your furniture with washable covers or throws to limit wear and stains on a daily basis.

5. Additional precautions:
  • Test on an inconspicuous area: Before using a new product or cleaning method, test on a small, inconspicuous area to check compatibility with the fabric.
  • Rotate Cushions: Rotate cushions regularly to distribute wear evenly and maintain a consistent appearance.

By following these recommendations, your fabric furniture will maintain its beauty, comfort and longevity, while remaining attractive over the years.
