Care of your bouclé hospitality furniture

New bouclé furniture is clean, but not always fully protected. By giving it a proper treatment beforehand, you can prevent many problems in the future and keep your bouclé furniture looking as good as new for as long as possible.

Step-by-step plan for initial treatment

1. Gentle Brushing
   Before using your bouclé furniture, it is advisable to gently brush the surface with a soft clothes brush. This removes any manufacturing residues and loose fibres.

2. Impregnating
   Apply a professional fabric protector or impregnation spray. This creates an invisible protective layer against moisture, dirt, and grease. Spray evenly from about 20 cm away, covering all surfaces, including seams and corners.

3. Drying and curing
   Allow the furniture to dry for at least 12 hours, and do not use it during this period.

In the hospitality industry, bouclé furniture is exposed to spills, crumbs, and wear on a daily basis. With a few simple routines, you can keep it looking fresh and well-maintained.

Step-by-step maintenance plan in use

1. Weekly Vacuuming: Vacuum the fabric weekly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and dirt particles. Due to its looped structure, crumbs or lint can get caught more easily, so regular cleaning helps prevent buildup and wear.

2. Daily Stain Removal: Blot, Don’t Rub: Rubbing can damage the loops or spread the stain. Use a small amount of lukewarm water with a mild soap solution or a specialised textile cleaner for delicate fabrics.

3. Allow the Fabric to Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, let the fabric dry completely and gently brush it to restore its original texture.

When bouclé furniture has been heavily used or the fabric appears dull, a deep cleaning may be necessary.

Step-by-step plan for large maintenance

1. Deep Cleaning: Use a specialised fabric cleaner or have the furniture professionally cleaned by a specialist in upholstery fabrics.

2. Aftercare: After cleaning, you can reapply a fabric protector to better guard the fabric against new stains and moisture.

3. Check Filling and Seams: Ensure that cushions retain their shape and seams are intact. If not, have them repaired promptly to prevent further damage.

To keep bouclé upholstery looking its best for as long as possible, regular maintenance and careful use are essential. Avoid contact with sharp objects, pets with sharp claws, and direct sunlight. Always clean up spills immediately and vacuum regularly using a soft brush. Periodically treat the fabric with a suitable fabric protector to strengthen the fibres and make it resistant to dirt. With proper care, bouclé maintains its soft texture, luxurious appearance, and comfortable feel for years, making it a perfect choice for stylish and durable hospitality furniture.
