Caring for Linen upholstery

Linen is one of the easiest upholstery fabrics to maintain.

If you want a little extra stain protection, linen does well with most store-bought scotch guarding. However, if you want to spray your linen furniture and upholstery with stain protector, test a tiny bit in a hidden area first to make sure it doesn’t lead to discoloration.

If you want a little extra stain protection, linen does well with scotch guarding, please check with our sales people with regards to this service offered in store.

In terms of everyday maintenance for linen furniture, regularly vacuuming or dry brushing is usually the only thing to do. If you’re worried that your linen upholstery may fade over time, consider rotating it in the room so that it’s not always in the direct light. You can also close your window coverings during the direct sun hours of the day.

If you notice your linen furniture has some wrinkles, light steam or even gently ironing can help with that.

If you’d like to freshen up linen upholstery, sprinkle some baking soda and let it sit for a while. Then, vacuum it up. It’ll help remove any odours or faint stains that might be a problem.

Upholstery

To ensure the longevity of this piece, avoid excessive sunlight, dampness and hot or cold conditions. Our sofas are generally made with loose covers for easy cleaning. For best results, dry cleaning only as it reduces the chance of shrinkage. We also advise no spot cleaning. Avoid excessive sunlight as this will lead to the colour fading. The cushion inners are made up of three separate layers. The top and bottom layers contain down and the core is made from a foam mix for extra stability. To maintain the original softness and resiliency of the cushions, hand fluff and reverse cushions regularly. Vacuum to remove surface dirt.

We have a number of Care & Maintenance products and services available for your furniture, please enquire with one of our stores for more details.
