Performance Fabric Upholstered Sofas
For some of our sofas, we use performance fabrics such as polyester, acrylic and various blends for the upholstery.
These fabrics can pill due to friction of continuous movement on the same spot.
Important to note:
Pilling is not a fabric defect or fault. It is also not an indicator that the fabric is wearing away or disintegrating. Pilling is a normal occurrence and does not affect the durability or functionality of the fabric.
How to care for Performance Fabric Upholstered Sofas:
- Carefully follow the general care instructions for sofas.
- Remove pilling with a fabric shaver.
- Rotating the position of your loose cushions will minimise fabric pilling.
Sofas
Our sofas are made by hand from start to finish. While the frames, foam and panels are measured and cut using standard templates, height and structural differences occur during the upholstering process.
Important to note:
Exposure to sunlight, UV and heat can cause fading, discolouration and damage to the upholstery.
Cushion fillings settle, and foam seats soften over time. Regular maintenance, not sitting on the front of the sofa, and avoiding overuse of the same area on the sofa will minimise this effect.
How to care for Sofas:
- Plump and aerate cushions regularly to maintain shape.
- Reverse and rotate cushions to ensure even wear.
- Dress seams to keep them aligned and neat.
- Immediately blot spills; avoid rubbing and use recommended cleaners.
- Use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh detergents.
- Dust or lightly vacuum regularly to prevent damage.
- Consider annual professional cleaning for optimal maintenance.
- Avoid washing slip covers in the machine; opt for professional cleaning.
- Apply Fabritect for invisible, protective coating against spills and soils.
