What are the best practices for caring for cotton furniture?

1. Regular Cleaning

• Vacuum weekly using a brush or upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris that can wear down fibers.

• Flip and rotate cushions regularly to prevent uneven wear and fading.

2. Spot Cleaning

• Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can spread the stain or damage the fibers.

• Use mild soap and water or a fabric-safe upholstery cleaner for small stains.

  • Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia.

3. Minimize Sun Exposure

• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade cotton fabric.

• Keep cotton furniture out of direct sunlight or use window treatments to filter UV rays.

4. Avoid Abrasive Tools

• Don't scrub with brushes or pads that could roughen or tear the cotton weave.

• Stick to soft microfiber cloths or sponges.
