Clean furniture with chenille upholstery once a week using a soft brush or vacuum it on low power with a special upholstery attachment. This way, you'll remove dust and contaminants without letting them penetrate deeper.
1-2 times a year, thoroughly refresh the chenille upholstery. After routine vacuuming, wipe the entire fabric with a solution of neutral cleaning agent, such as dish soap mixed with water. Then, wipe it again with a clean, damp sponge or cloth to remove detergent residue from the surface.
Let it air dry naturally.
You can also use special upholstery cleaning products. Follow the manufacturer's instructions in that case.
In case of spills or stains, gently blot the liquid with a dry cloth or paper towel. To remove dirt from mud, ketchup, mayonnaise, yogurt, or lipstick, delicately gather remnants of the substance. Use gentle, neutral detergents like dish soap or grey soap mixed with lukewarm water in proportions: one teaspoon of detergent to two cups of water. Strong cleaning agents and bleach can damage the upholstery.
Avoid trying to remove stains, especially organic ones, with hot water as they might set.
Clean the soiled surface with gentle, circular motions from the outside toward the center. Avoid vigorous and forceful rubbing to avoid damaging the fabric's structure. If necessary, repeat these steps, widening the cleaned area around the stained spot to prevent spreading.
Before starting the cleaning process, conduct a test of the cleaning agent on an inconspicuous part of the furniture to avoid damaging the fabric. After removing the stain, let the fabric air dry at room temperature. Do not use a hairdryer or any other direct source of heat. During this time, avoid sitting on the sofa, as the upholstery might distort.
