Upholstery materials
Focusing on the design, color and texture of upholstered furniture, you should pay attention to the quality of the upholstery fabric and its service life. Fabrics for upholstery of sofas are divided into textile, leather and synthetic fabrics. When purchasing a product with the required upholstery, you must check the fabric for a certificate indicating:
- abrasion resistance;
- fabric density for durability;
- indicator for stretching and shrinkage;
- peelability;
- the presence of a special impregnation that protects the fabric from fading, dust, moisture, and fire.
If a sofa with green shades is intended to be placed in the bedroom, then it is better to give preference to fabrics made from natural fibers (chenyl, cotton, linen, velor). For a living room, wear-resistant upholstery fabric such as microsuede, suede, flock, jacquard, or leather is more suitable. All textile fabrics are characterized by warmth and increased softness. Particularly durable upholstery fabrics, which have maximum wear resistance and abrasion resistance, are used for office sofas.
To ensure that the new sofa harmonizes well with the interior of the old room, you can take a photo of the room before going to the salon. This will make it possible to choose the right soft part in size and not get lost when choosing a color.
Rules of care
Stylish, comfortable upholstered furniture will retain its presentable appearance for a long time if you carry out regular preventative cleaning to remove dust contamination. Knowing the characteristics of upholstery fabric, you can easily cope with the task. Synthetic fabrics with pile require delicate cleaning, so as not to damage the material, this action is carried out with a special brush and soap solution in the direction of the pile.
Cleaning of tapestry upholstery is carried out using the dry method using a vacuum cleaner, or, in extreme cases, with a soapy foam solution. Leather fabric should only be wiped with a damp cloth. For suede and nubuck, use a brush with rubber bristles. Any stains that appear on the fabric must be removed immediately so that you do not have to go to dry cleaning.
