Hard-wearing by design
We call our fabrics clever for a reason.
Each one is developed to be:
- Exceptionally hard-wearing, while bringing out the best in our colouts
- Spill-proof by design
- Tested to a high rub count
- Soft to touch, with its own weave and character
- Ready for real life: pets, kids, crumbs and all
Quality assured
- All our upholstered products conform to strict UK standards for domestic fire retardancy.
- Most of our fabrics are woven from natural fibres and colours may differ ever so slightly from one batch to another. Our supplies carry out visual checks to ensure they meet our exacting standards.
- Sometimes our upholstered peices may have a slight chemical smell when delivered. This is due to a special flame-retardant coating used to treat and protect our upholstery. The smell will soon disapear within a couple of days in very rare cases, two weeks.
How to clean your upholstery
- Vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment.
- Spot clean any spills as soon as they happen.
- Dab with a clean damp cloth, do not rub.
- Use a professional service for a deep clean, NOT your washing machine.
Types of fabric
Velvet upholstery
Velvets are prone to mark a little under pressure. Most pressure marks are easily removed by gently steaming and brushing the velvet with a soft brush.
Upholstery with removable covers
If your sofa or armchair is fitted with removable covers, please don't put them in your washing machine - head to a dry cleaner. Our Clever Slubby Cotton is naturally dyed so this one will need to go to a professional upholstery cleaner.
Upholstery with fixed covers
This includes your seat, scatter and back cushions. Get a professional upholstery cleaner in, they can clean your sofa in situ.
Shearer upholstery
Sheepskin is naturally robust and durable, but a little extra TLC goes a long way to keep it looking tip-top. Make sure not to put your shearer upholstery anywhere damp (be careful if you're putting it in storage for example) as this can damage the natural pelt.
If you drop food, scoop it up quickly and try not to smush it further into the wool pile. For spills, treat shearer as you would other upholstery - blot the area with a damp cloth (never rub) but also give it a brush. We recommend brushing regularly when dry too.
