Cleaning and Care – How to Care for Textured Furniture Upholstery?
Keeping upholstered furniture in impeccable condition for many years requires following strictly defined maintenance procedures that protect the weave from weakening. Accidental stains or everyday dirt should be removed immediately, preventing substances from penetrating deeply into the fabric’s structure. The basic rule of care is to use only mild products specifically designed for cleaning furniture upholstery, ensuring that the Sawana fabric does not fade or lose its original yarn structure.
During cleaning procedures, it is essential to strictly observe the basic restrictions to avoid compromising the product’s unique mechanical properties. Under no circumstances Do not bleach or treat the fabric with chlorine, as harsh chemicals will permanently damage the yarn’s structure. Ironing is also prohibited, as high temperatures could melt the polyester weave. Additionally, the fabric must not be machine-dried in tumble dryers or dry-cleaned using strong, toxic solvents, to ensure that Sawana fabric retains its elasticity.
For regular cleaning and professional waterproofing of bedroom surfaces, we recommend using a fully biodegradable and safe-for-health products from the OA line, which are available as part of our regular product lineup. These products effectively remove dirt without damaging the delicate structure of the polyester fibers. Thanks to them, the Sawana fabric will remain clean, and an invisible protective layer will form on its surface to ward off dust and stains.
FAQ – Everything You Need to Know About Sawana Fabric
1. Is the Sawana fabric suitable for dog and cat owners?
Thanks to its very dense, flat plain weave, the Sawana fabric is much less prone to having its fibers pulled out by animal claws compared to classic braids with a loose structure. Additionally, the short pile length means that the fur doesn't sink deep into the ground and it can be removed very easily using a regular lint roller or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment, which makes it easier to maintain daily hygiene in the bedroom.
2. Does a low thread count mean that Sawana fabric is thin and prone to tearing?
A weight of 245 g/m² is the optimal, proven standard for structural products. In the case of advanced polyester fibers, it is not the weight itself but the high-quality weave that determines the fabric’s durability. A result of 100,000 cycles in the Martindale test is the best proof that Sawana fabric is characterized by extreme resistance to friction, tears, and everyday wear and tear.
3. How do you deal with liquid stains when there is Sawana fabric on the bed?
If you spill water, coffee, or juice, your response time is critical. Immediately press a clean, dry paper towel or a soft microfiber cloth against the stain; it will naturally absorb the excess liquid. Any remaining residue should be gently wiped away with a damp cloth using mild soap or a dedicated OA cleaner, avoiding vigorous rubbing, as the Sawana fabric could become pilled in that area.
4. Does the Sawana fabric tend to fade if the bed is placed near a window?
This collection has undergone rigorous laboratory testing for UV resistance and received high marks, which means increased resistance to fading. Of course, prolonged, long-term exposure to intense, direct sunlight can have a minimal effect on any material; however, under normal household conditions, Sawana fabric retains its original, rich color for much longer than traditional natural fabrics.
5. Why is the Oeko-Tex certification so important for bedroom furniture?
The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification is an independent, international testing system that guarantees that the finished textile product is completely free of harmful chemicals, pesticides, or heavy metals. We spend nearly one-third of our lives in the bedroom, in direct contact with our beds, so this certification ensures that Sawana fabric is 100 percent safe for the skin, the respiratory system, and the health of people with allergies.
