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.

Avoid excessive sunlight, dampness and hot or cold conditions. For routine cleaning, use a cloth that has been dampened with water or diluted cleaning polish. Clean spills or smudges with a damp cloth moistened in mild soap or cleaning polish. For nickel and brass hardware, simply clean with a damp cloth. Place a felt or leather pad under all lamp bases and accessories to avoid surface scratches. Polish only every six months with a silicone-free polish, as polishing too often may result in a waxy build-up.
