Natural Fabrics

Linen: Linen is best suited for formal living rooms or adult areas because it soils and wrinkles easily. And, it won’t withstand heavy wear. However, linen does resist pilling and fading. Soiled linen upholstery must be professionally cleaned to avoid shrinkage.
Cotton: This natural fiber provides good resistance to wear, fading, and pilling. It is less resistant to soil, wrinkling, and fire. Surface treatments and blending with other fibers often atone for these weaknesses. Durability and use depend on the weave and finish. Damask weaves are formal; canvas (duck and sailcloth) is more casual and more durable.
Wool: Sturdy and durable, wool and wool blends offer good resistance to pilling, fading, wrinkling, and soil. Generally, wool is blended with a synthetic fiber to make it easier to clean and to reduce the possibility of felting the fibers (causing them to bond together until they resemble felt). Blends can be spot-cleaned when necessary.
Cotton Blend: Depending on the weave, cotton blends can be sturdy, family-friendly fabrics. A stain-resistant finish should be applied for everyday use.
Silk: This delicate fabric is only suitable for adult areas, such as formal living rooms. It must be professionally cleaned if soiled.

Proper protection & maintenance of your fabric furniture are essential!

Cleaning: Soak up spills as quickly as you can & avoid scrubbing too aggressively. Anytime feasible, thoroughly clean up spills before they get an opportunity to dry. Unsightly stains on cloth and leather upholstery, as well as area rugs and flooring such as carpets, tend to be a lot easier to eliminate entirely if given attention before they have an opportunity to set in.

Fabric Treatment Tips:

Always rotate seat coverings as well as pillows. Just about all fabrics will be at risk of fading and color diminishing. Every day wear and tear, along with sun direct exposure, may bring about fabrics to lose coloration and vibrancy. Rotating cushions on a regular basis aids to ensure that fabric ages consistently.

Vacuum! Just like other materials in your home, fabric is vulnerable to soiling and abrasion from airborne dirt and dust. Frequent vacuum-cleaning can lengthen the life and attractiveness of fabric upholstery and window treatments. For very best results, make use of a vacuum cleaner with a filtration system that holds airborne dust in (instead of one that recirculates it back again into the room).
