Fabric care after reupholstering a sofa

After reupholstering a sofa or chair, there are a few things that you can do to help keep your reupholstery in good condition. However, in order to ensure that your fabric is treated correctly, dry cleaning in situ by a professional is the only thorough cleaning recommended by our specialists here at reCover. Sofa and chair reupholstery fabrics can be damaged by inappropriate cleaning products and methods, but you can remove dust and dirt with a little gentle vacuuming using the soft brush attachment or with the use of a soft clean brush if you wish, which will help to reduce wear.

If after reupholstering a sofa or any other cherished ercol item your reupholstery falls victim to an accidental spill, you should remove any solids and blot up as much of the liquid as you can by using white paper towels or a clean white cloth. Try to get your reupholstery as dry as possible in order to limit the potential for ring marks. reCover sofa and chair fabrics that have been brought into contact with mud should be left until the mud is completely dry, so that it can be brushed off. Any further cleaning should always be undertaken by a professional.

All fabrics will fade in the sun, so bear this in mind when placing furniture in front of windows or patio doors. We also recommend rotating your cushions regularly where the design permits.
