Furniture
We offer furniture in velvet, linen look, corduroy and bouclé. The different fabrics have their own characteristics and thus the care instructions also differ. Here you can read our recommendations for washing and care for the different qualities.- Make it last longerTo minimize the risk of sun bleaching, it is important to shield the furniture from strong sunlight during the summer months. A tip is to move the piece of furniture away from the window when, for example, you travel away during the summer, or alternatively put a curtain or sheets over it to protect against direct sunlight.
- BoucléThe Bouclé fabric is a mix of 45% Cotton, 15% Wool, 13% Polycarbonate, 19% Viscose, 8% Polyamide.

The effect is both glamorous and relaxed, making bouclé furniture standout pieces in your home.Dry cleaning only.

If the liquid is a fat type, there are suitable stain removals for the cause. First try it out on a less visible spot, like on the backside, to see how it reacts on the fabric.

Your furniture should be vacuumed regularly with a soft nozzle. Be careful never to use a nozzle with a coarse brush, as this can leave permanent scratches.
Good to know:
Leather and leather products should not be in direct sunlight. It fades and dries out. Leather cleaning should be done at least once a year. Even high heat can dry out and bleach leather. Therefore, be extra careful to never place leather-covered furniture too close to an element. As a rule, you should always leave at least 30 centimeters between elements and furniture, but preferably slightly longer at higher temperatures.
Greasing leather:
Leather grease must be applied to a clean surface. Take a lint-free cloth and apply the leather grease to the leather. Let sink in for a few hours. Wipe off excess grease with another cloth. It also works great with your own hand as the body heat helps the fat to penetrate the skin.
Stains and dirt:
In the event of a spill, you should always wipe up with paper immediately to prevent the leather from absorbing any liquids. Afterwards, you can simply wipe clean with a wrung-out cloth and wipe dry with paper. For more persistent stains, you can use a leather cleaner, adapted specifically for leather upholstery. However, keep in mind that you should treat your leather upholstery with new leather cream or leather grease afterwards to protect and re-moisturize the material. Always use high-quality leather care products for your leather-upholstered furniture, which are formulated specifically for leather. Always avoid strong chemicals, solvents or cleaning agents as these can do far more harm than good.

- MartindaleMartindale is a measure of how durable a fabric is. A fabric's Martindale value indicates how many turns a fabric-covered plate has been able to be spun against the fabric without missing any stitches. The higher the Martindale value, the more wear-resistant the textile is, in other words. For home environments, a Martindale value of over 15,000 turns is usually recommended. For public environments, values around 30,000 are usually suitable.
