Upholstered Furniture Care Guide
Make Your Home a Haven
Your furniture isn’t just furniture—it’s where life happens. A little care keeps it looking fresh, feeling cozy, and lasting for years to come. Follow these simple tips to maintain your sanctuary in style.
General Care: Everyday TLC
- Vacuum regularly – A soft brush attachment works wonders for dust and crumbs.
- Fluff & Rotate – Give cushions a good plump and switch them around to maintain their shape.
- Protect from the Elements – Keep furniture away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and from heat sources to avoid drying out.
- Watch Out for Snags – Sharp objects, pet claws, and rough fabrics can damage delicate upholstery.
🍷 Spills & Stains: Act Fast!
- Blot, don’t rub! Use a dry cloth to soak up spills immediately.
- Check the fabric type before using water or cleaners—some materials need special care.
- No harsh chemicals – They can damage fibers and fade colours.
Fabric-Specific Care
✨ Linen – Soft, breathable, and beautifully relaxed. Creasing is part of its charm! Spot clean gently and embrace the natural texture.
💎 Velvet & Crushed Velvet – Luxurious but delicate. Expect natural shading and "crush marks" over time. A gentle brush or steam will help restore its plush look. Keep liquids at bay—velvet isn’t a fan of moisture.
🛡 Clever Velvet & Clever Linen – The stress-free option! These fabrics resist stains and wear, making them perfect for busy homes. Spills bead up on the surface—just blot and go!
Make It Last: Long-Term Love
- Keep furniture away from radiators and fireplaces to prevent damage.
- No acrobatics! Sitting on arms or jumping on cushions can weaken the frame.
- If your piece has removable covers, check the care label—some can be washed, others need professional cleaning.
Your furniture is the heart of your home—treat it well, and it will reward you with comfort for years to come. Need help? We’re always here for advice.
