Maintaining clean chairs not only preserves their look but also extends their life—whether they’re in a living room, conference room, or restaurant. Follow these steps to keep fabric upholstery fresh and inviting:

1. Regular Upkeep

· Vacuum Weekly
Use the upholstery attachment to remove dust and crumbs. Focus on seams and tufted areas.

· Rotate Cushions
If cushions are removable, flip and swap them regularly to ensure even wear.

2. Spot Test First

Always test any cleaner on a hidden area (e.g., underside of the seat). Wait 10–15 minutes to check for any discoloration.

3. Treating Velvet

· Blot Spills Immediately
Gently press with a clean, dry cloth—do not rub.

· Mild Soap Solution
Mix a few drops of gentle dish soap with lukewarm water. Lightly dampen a soft cloth and dab the stain from the outside in.

· Restore the Nap
Once dry, use a softbristle brush to lift the pile and bring back the fabric’s sheen.

4. Treating Bouclé

· Loosen Debris
Shake or brush gently to dislodge crumbs and dust.

· Mild Cleaner
Combine a teaspoon of gentle laundry detergent with a litre of warm water. Dab the stained area with a damp microfiber cloth—avoid overwetting.

· Rinse & Dry
Wipe away any residue with a cloth dampened in clean water, then blot dry.

5. Deep Cleaning

For heavy soil or setin stains, enlist professional upholstery cleaning every 12–18 months—they’ll have the right tools to refresh your chairs without damage.

6. Protect & Prevent

· Fabric Protector
Apply a spray protector as directed to repel spills and stains.

· Avoid Direct Sunlight
Position away from windows or use UVblocking film to guard against fading.

· Use Armrest Covers
For chairs with armrests, slipon covers shield highcontact areas and are easy to wash.

By following these steps, your velvet and bouclé chairs will stay clean, vibrant, and welcoming—perfect for any setting.
