Care Guide for Benches and Seating

Velvet is a delicate, high-pile fabric that requires soft handling to preserve its rich lustre, deep pile, and handcrafted details. Follow these guidelines to maintain its structure and finish over time.

Routine Dust Removal

• Vacuuming: Use a clean, soft-upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner at low suction. Gently glide across the surface along the nap; avoid pressing down hard, which can create permanent crush marks.
• Lint Handling: Avoid sticky lint rollers, as residual adhesive can attract dirt and alter the velvet texture. Instead, use a damp microfiber cloth lightly wiped in one direction.

Spot Cleaning & Emergency Care

If spills occur, act immediately:

1. Dab, Never Rub: Gently blot liquids using a dry, clean white paper towel or microfiber cloth. Never rub or scrub velvet, as this distorts the pile and forces liquid deeper into the weave.
2. Mild Solution: Dilute a drop of gentle liquid detergent in lukewarm water. Dampen a clean cloth with the foam (not soaking liquid) and gently press onto the stain from the outside edge inward.
3. Air Dry: Allow the area to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (hairdryers, radiators).
4. Restore the Nap: Once completely dry, brush the area gently with a soft brush to lift the crushed fibers back into alignment.
