Because linen is a natural fiber, it requires a bit of extra care to keep it looking fresh. Here are the best practices for caring for linen upholstery: --- ### **1. Vacuum Regularly (Gently)** - Use a soft-bristle or upholstery attachment. - Vacuum weekly to remove dust and dirt that can wear down fibers or cause discoloration. - Always go with the **weave direction** to avoid roughing the fabric. --- ### **2. Blot Spills Immediately** - Use a **dry, clean cloth** to blot — never rub, as linen is absorbent and prone to watermarks. - For stains, use a **mild soap + water solution** or a **linen-safe fabric cleaner**. - Dab gently and dry quickly with a fan or hair dryer on a cool setting. --- ### **3. Protect from Sunlight** - Linen can **fade or weaken** with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. - Position furniture away from bright windows or use curtains to diffuse light. --- ### **4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals** - No bleach, ammonia, or aggressive stain removers. - Stick to pH-neutral, fabric-safe cleaners and always **spot test** before using. --- ### **5. Rotate Cushions** - Flip and rotate cushions weekly to maintain even wear and prevent sagging or fading in high-use areas. --- ### **6. Dry Cleaning for Deep Cleaning** - Most linen slipcovers or upholstery should be **professionally cleaned** — check the care label. - Machine washing may shrink or distort untreated linen. --- ### **Bonus Tip: Use Throws or Covers** - Linen can snag on pet claws or rough items — throws or slipcovers can help protect high-traffic areas while still showing off your style. - [Art & Decor](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/art-decor?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Key Features](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/art-decor?hsLang=en#key-features) - [Bedroom](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/bedroom?hsLang=en) - [Lighting](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/lighting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Bulbs](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/lighting?hsLang=en#bulbs) - [Ratings & Certifications](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/lighting?hsLang=en#ratings-certifications) - [Lamps](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/lighting?hsLang=en#lamps) - [Hanging Best Practices](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/lighting?hsLang=en#hanging-best-practices) - [Pendants & Chandeliers](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/lighting?hsLang=en#pendants-chandeliers) - [Pillows & Throws](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/pillows-throws?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Techniques](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/pillows-throws?hsLang=en#techniques) - [Materials](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/pillows-throws?hsLang=en#materials) - [Furniture](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/furniture?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Design & Styling](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/furniture?hsLang=en#design-styling) - [Product Care](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/furniture?hsLang=en#product-care) - [Finishes](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/furniture?hsLang=en#finishes) - [Weight Limits](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/furniture?hsLang=en#weight-limits) - [Rugs](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/rugs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Product Care](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/rugs?hsLang=en#product-care) - [Tips & Tricks](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/rugs?hsLang=en#tips-tricks) - [Fibers](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/rugs?hsLang=en#fibers) - [Types of Construction](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/rugs?hsLang=en#types-of-construction) - [Selecting The Right Size](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/rugs?hsLang=en#selecting-the-right-size) - [Rug Pads](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/rugs?hsLang=en#rug-pads) - [Shipping](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/shipping?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Shipping Methods](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/shipping?hsLang=en#shipping-methods) - [General](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/general?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Testing](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/general?hsLang=en#testing) - [Order Management](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/order-management?hsLang=en) - [Process & Policy](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/process-policy?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Quality](https://support.joonloloi.com/customerkb/process-policy?hsLang=en#quality) [![Word Mark 1](https://support.joonloloi.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Word%20Mark%201.png?width=200&height=27&name=Word%20Mark%201.png "Word Mark 1")](https://www.joonloloi.com/) Copyright © 2026, Loloi, Inc.
