Regular Cleaning
Bouclé fabric has surged in popularity for its luxurious texture and timeless appeal, gracing sofas, chairs, and ottomans in countless homes. However, like any cherished possession, bouclé furniture requires proper care to maintain its beauty and longevity. Discover below how to ensure your bouclé pieces remain as stunning as the day you brought them home.
Cleaning tips
Utilize a soft brush attachment to gently vacuum your bouclé furniture, removing dust and debris from the surface and within the loops. Aim to do this weekly to prevent dirt buildup.
Periodically rotating your bouclé pieces to help distribute wear evenly, maintaining the integrity of the fabric and preventing excessive compression in specific areas.
Bouclé fabric, like many textiles, can fade when exposed to prolonged sunlight. Position your furniture away from direct sunlight to minimise exposure.
Maintaining the Loops
Gentle Brushing
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently groom the loops of your bouclé fabric, keeping them upright and uniform in appearance.
Brush in the direction of the loops to prevent unraveling or distortion.
Avoid Snags
Be mindful of sharp objects or jewellery that could catch and snag the loops of your bouclé furniture.
Promptly trim any loose threads to prevent further damage.
Marks in the Fabric
Protective Measures
Steam Cleaning
For minor marks or creases in your bouclé fabric, a handheld steamer can work wonders. Hold the steamer a few inches away from the fabric and gently steam the affected area, then use a soft cloth to dab and lift the mark.
Spot Cleaning
For stubborn marks, mix a small amount of soap with water and gently dab the affected area with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the delicate fibers.
Spillages and Stains
Long Lasting Boucle
In the event of a spill, act quickly by blotting the affected area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and push it deeper into the fabric.
For specific stains like coffee or wine, create a solution of mild dish soap and water and carefully dab the stain, working from the outside in to prevent spreading. Rinse with clean water and blot dry.
If a stain persists or you’re unsure how to proceed, consider professional cleaning services specialising in delicate fabrics like bouclé. They have the expertise and equipment to tackle tough stains while preserving the integrity of your furniture.
