Easy Care
Woll is antistatic and does not attract dirt like other fabrics, as well as being water repellant, so spillages are slow to penetrate the fabric. To maintain the appearance of the fabric, we recommend gentle vacuuming, preferably every weeky, with a soft nozzle.
Stain Removal
**Always remove stains as quickly as possible**
Most stains and dirt can be removed using an ordinary pH-neutral detergent diluted in lukewarm water at normal strengths (follow the on-pack instructions).
- First, soak up as much of the liquid as possible with a soft white cloth.
- If the stain has dried on, remove as much residue as possible with a vacuum.
- Rub carefully with a soft white cloth, do not use abrasive cloths.
- Press the fabric with a dry, soft white cloth or kitchen roll every time water is added, to soak up moisture and dirt.
- Use clean water without any detergent for the final clean.
(The area may appear darker than the surrounding fabric after being cleaned with water, but this should become less noticeable over time).
Biro and felt pen: Clean with methylated spirits. If this doesn’t help, use a cloth moistened with acetone, turpentine, or benzene. Then wash with a pH-neutral detergent* diluted in lukewarm water.
Blood: Wash off with cold water to which nothing has been added. If this does not work use a pH-neutral detergent* diluted in lukewarm water.
Candle wax: Cool with ice cubes in a plastic bag, break up the wax and carefully remove the loose pieces. If necessary use a hot iron on top of white absorbent paper. If this does not help use a cloth moistened with acetone, turpentine or benzene. Then wash with a pH-neutral detergent* diluted in lukewarm water.
Chewing gum: Cool with ice cubes in a plastic bag and carefully remove the loose pieces. If this does not help use a cloth moistened with acetone, turpentine or benzene. Then wash with a pH-neutral detergent* diluted in lukewarm water.
Foodstuffs: Wash with a pH-neutral detergent* diluted in lukewarm water.
Lipstick / shoe & furniture polish: Clean with a cloth moistened with acetone, turpentine or benzene. Then wash with a pH-neutral detergent* diluted in lukewarm water.
Nail Varnish: Dab with nail varnish remover. If this does not help use a cloth moistened with acetone, turpentine or benzene. Then wash with a pH-neutral detergent* diluted in lukewarm water.
Paint: For oil-based paint use a cloth moistened with acetone, turpentine or benzene. Then wash with a pH-neutral detergent* diluted in lukewarm water (up to five times normal strength). For water-based paint wash off with cold water.
Important!
Acetone, turpentine, benzene, etc. can dissolve the foam used for padding. Such substances should only be used in very small quantities on the surface of the fabric. (Always test stain removers in an inconspicuous area first).
From our knowledge and expertise in the use of wool fabrics within the upholstery, these are our recommendations. However, should you have any concerns or more stubborn complications, it would be advisable to seek professional advice.
