Looking After Your Fabrics
Our fabrics are designed to be used properly and lived with happily, whether on upholstery, curtains or somewhere in between.
A little care from time to time will help preserve the colour, texture and character of the cloth, and ensure it continues to age well over the years.
- EVERYDAY CARE
-
A few simple habits will help keep fabrics in good condition.
- Light vacuuming with a soft brush attachment will remove dust and prevent build-up
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight where possible
- UPHOLSTERY
-
Upholstered pieces tend to see the most use, so a little attention goes a long way.
- Vacuum regularly using a soft attachment
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth
- Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain further into the fabric
- For more stubborn marks, we would recommend professional cleaning
- CURTAINS & DRAPERY
-
Curtains benefit from occasional airing and gentle care.
- Shake out or lightly vacuum to remove dust
- Dry cleaning is often the best option, depending on the fabric
- Avoid over-handling to preserve the structure of the cloth
- CLEANING GUIDANCE
-
It’s always best to test any cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first.
- Use mild detergents only
- Avoid excessive water
- Do not scrub or use abrasive materials
- A soft cloth or sponge is usually sufficient
For larger pieces or more delicate fabrics, professional cleaning is recommended.
