Fabric care & assembly
Our fabric is durable and resilient, which is why we guarantee it for 2 years. Plus, some of our fabrics* feature industry leading stain free technology, which makes it kid and pet friendly. Rather than spraying our fabrics with a repellant, each one of the threads in our stain-resistant fabrics is individually coated. We can't stop your friend from spilling wine on your sofa or your kids from smearing chocolate on the seats, but clean-up is as easy as wiping the stain with a wet cloth.
FibreGuard fabrics are low maintenance and easy to clean. From ballpoint pen, to coffee, mud, red wine, and ketchup, common household stains are easily removed allowing you to keep your furniture fabrics looking fresh year after year. Stains can be removed from FibreGuard fabrics using mostly water, stubborn stains may require a small amount of household soap. Please refer to FibreGuard demonstration videos for complete instructions on how to best remove your stain.

How to clean our stain-resistant fabrics
- Remain calm
The last thing you want to do when you see your dog jump up on the sofa covered in mud is panic. Especially when cleaning one of our sofas is so easy to do! For stains like mud, ketchup, lipstick or silly putty, you’ll need to grab a teaspoon and first remove any stain residue with the edge of the spoon.
For other stains, like pen or coffee, you won’t need to do this. Simply dampen the fabric and begin the blotting process.
- Water and Blot
Using a white paper towel, apply water to the stain and blot. Do NOT use circular motions as this will only rip your paper towel and drive the fibres from it into your fabric. It could also potentially make the stain worse.
Blotting is time-consuming but highly effective so repeat the process, gently dabbing at the stain until you can’t see it on the paper towel anymore.
- Water and Circles
Once the blotting is complete now is the time for using the circular motions trick. Apply more water to the stained area and use a microfibre cloth to rub the sofa with gentle movement.
For extra stubborn stains, you can use a white bar of soap to help. Repeat this process until the stain is completely removed.
- Air dry
Lastly, leave the sofa to air dry. This is really important. You don’t want to use a hairdryer or apply heat to the stain in any way as this could embed the stain into the fibres.
How to clean our other fabrics (non stain-resistant)
- Use warm, non-scented soapy water and a clean cloth to blot stains away.
- Avoid rubbing stains - use a blotting or dabbing motion.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals and bleach.
- Regularly vacuum to keep your sofa dirt and dust-free.
