There's nothing like curling up on the couch with a good book. If it is raining outside, the atmosphere will become cozier. If this situation sounds perfect, then the chenille sofa fabric is the fabric for you. The yarn structure of the chenille sofa fabric is similar to a velvet-like pile fabric. These pile yarns create dimension and movement and add to the overall softness of the fabric. Now, you might be thinking, "What's the problem? Is chenille really hard to wash?" Surprisingly, the answer is no! This guide on how to properly clean a chenille sofa will prove how easy it is.

Not to worry; we'll outline what to do when your chenille sofa fabric has a stain. For now, though, let's discuss the precautions you can take to keep your material clean. It is wise to perform the following steps on a weekly basis:

1. Use a soft bristle brush (such as a baby hair brush) to remove any sticky material that has built up on the fabric.

2. Brush lightly to avoid tearing the material. Go lightly to keep the chenille intact.

3. After brushing your teeth, use the vacuum cleaner to remove any other items from the sofa. The attachment should clean up anything the brush misses.

In an ideal world, you'd never have to do partial processing. The above steps are enough to keep the fabric clean. But sadly, we don't live in a perfect world. Juice spills and chocolate smudges are not uncommon on family room sofas. So what can you do if this happens to your chenille sofa fabric? You perform spot therapy!

Spot treatment is when you treat specific areas of the fabric to remove stains. Start by grabbing a cotton cloth and blotting the spot. Do not rub the area, as this will cause the stain to spread further. Blot the stain so it doesn't sink into the sofa. Generally, you should not use water when cleaning fabrics. Chenille fabric and water don't mix well, and if it gets wet, you can end up damaging the material. However, you can clean the 100% polyester clean chenille fabric with warm water and mild soap.

After the stain has been blotted, use a solvent-based fabric cleaner to further remove the stain. Make sure the fabric cleaner is solvent-based so harsh chemicals won't damage the material. These fabric cleaners are usually available as a spray or foam. If you can, invest in a chenille-specific cleaner to make sure it won't harm the material in any way. Once you have the right supplies, start spraying the stain. Do your best and don't sweep in cleaner places - sometimes more is less! Soaking the sofa is enough to completely cover the spot. This procedure is a safe method that works with all fiber types.

After covering the area, it's time to start drying! Whatever you do, don't rub the cleaner off the stain. Instead, pat the spot so it doesn't spread. You should repeat this and the other steps above until the spots no longer appear on the couch.

Yes, field handling seems like a daunting task. However, it's better than putting chenille in the machine. Since the chenille sofa fabric has those pile yarns, you don't want to put it in the spinning cycle. The material may loosen during washing. Even if you put it on a low or cold cycle, you run the risk of damage. Also, excessive moisture exposure can cause the chenille to shrink. So if you remove the upholstery from some pillows, you may not be able to put them back on after washing.

If you follow the steps below on how to properly clean chenille sofa fabric, the stain should disappear. However, we hope you don't have to use these steps too often! The rest of this article discusses how to care for your chenille fabric so it will stay fresh for years to come.

One day you may have the urge to give yourself a pedicure. Do not perform this activity on a chenille sofa. Things like nail polish, nail polish remover, and ink can leave stains that you can never remove. Of course, this also applies to dyes.

The last thing you need to do in caring for your chenille sofa is to turn the cushions. Flipping the cushions will increase the coziness of the sofa. Also, it prevents sunlight from hitting the same spot, which can cause discoloration. Also, these pile yarns are more likely to unravel if worn excessively. Turning things inside out will keep the fabric soft and keep those buildups intact.

Chenille fabric is one of the most popular materials out there. People always fall in love with those plush fabrics that are soft to the touch. A common misconception is that these pile yarns make fabrics difficult to clean. This article proves this myth incorrect! If you follow the correct steps, you should have no trouble removing stains from your sofa. Remember, water is not your friend! Water will shrink the material, so you have to get out of thinking it will clean up any mess you made. The exception, as mentioned, is the spot clean 100% polyester fabric.
