Home Decor Fabric Care
Introduction
Choosing the perfect fabric for your custom draperies or newly upholstered furniture is an investment. But do you know how to maintain them to ensure they stand the test of time? Here's a guide to help you care for your home decor fabrics.
Protecting Fabrics from the Sun
Sunlight can be harsh on fabrics, so it's important to take preventive measures. For delicate materials like silk, ensure your draperies are lined and interlined. Use shades during the day and consider awnings to provide extra protection. Remember, window glass can amplify harmful rays, and the winter sun, reflecting off snow, can be even more damaging than summer sunlight. Trees and shrubs can offer natural shade and protection.
Preventing Color Fading
Colors can fade through oxidation if fabrics are stored too long without airing. Additionally, airborne impurities can cause as much fading as direct sunlight. Regularly airing out stored fabrics can help preserve their color.
Professional Cleaning
Dust and impurities can degrade your fabrics over time, so regular cleaning is essential. Frequent vacuuming keeps dust at bay, but schedule dry cleaning sessions at regular intervals to manage soil buildup. Most fabrics aren’t washable, so professional cleaning is crucial.
Understanding Fabric Longevity
Fabrics naturally wear out over time. The durability of your fabric depends on its weave and how often it's used. A frequently used chair will naturally experience more wear than a decorative showpiece.
Using Fabric Finishes
Special finishes can help fabrics resist stains, but they aren’t foolproof. Light-colored fabrics benefit the most. Despite finishes, dining room chairs will still get dirty. Always address spots promptly with professional cleaning.
The Role of Synthetic Fibers
While synthetic fibers have advanced fabric performance, they aren't miracle workers. The effectiveness of these fibers depends on the fabric's construction and application.
With these tips, you can ensure your home decor fabrics remain beautiful and last for years to come.
