Regular Cleaning: Dust and vacuum your soft furnishings regularly to remove dirt and debris. Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum to avoid damage.
Spot Cleaning: Treat spills immediately by blotting with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing, as it may damage the fibers or cause stains to set.
Machine Wash (if applicable): For machine-washable items, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Ensure the item is washed according to the care label instructions.
Dry Cleaning: For items labeled “dry clean only,” take them to a professional cleaner to avoid shrinkage or damage.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade colors and weaken fabric fibers. Position items away from windows or use protective curtains.
Storage Tips
Store soft furnishings in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and mildew growth.
Use breathable storage bags to allow airflow while keeping dust away.
For larger items like cushions or throws, ensure they are completely dry before storing to avoid moisture-related issues.
