Stash Home Care Guide

Upholstery fabric stays beautiful with steady, gentle habits. Most of our performance weaves are designed to be cleaned with simple water-based methods, and a fast response to spills is the single best thing you can do for any fabric.

Routine Care

• Vacuum upholstery every week or two with a proper upholstery attachment. Dust settles into fabric even when you cannot see it.
• A lint roller lifts surface debris, pet hair and dry soil between vacuuming sessions.
• If small pills appear on textured weaves, remove them gently with a fabric shaver, then finish with a lint roller. Pilling is a normal trait of the fiber, not a defect.

Spills and Spot Cleaning

• Blot liquids right away with a clean white cloth and lift thicker spills off with a spoon before treating the spot. Never rub, which drives stains into the weave.
• Mix a small amount of mild detergent into a cup of lukewarm water, lightly dampen a white cloth and work from the outer edge of the stain toward the center.
• Rinse by blotting with a second cloth dampened in plain water until no soap remains. Leftover residue attracts dirt, so this step matters. Let the fabric air dry completely.

What to Avoid

• Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals unless your specific fabric's tag says otherwise.
• Never oversaturate cushions. Excess moisture can distort texture and leave water rings.
• Keep upholstery out of prolonged direct sunlight and avoid abrasive brushes that can snag yarns.

Long-Term Maintenance

• For an overall refresh or set-in stains, we recommend professional hot-water extraction cleaning, especially on light colors. Delicate blends such as wool, velvet and dry-clean-only weaves should always go to a professional. Check the care tag on your piece for its specific cleaning code.
