Troubleshooting

Fabric appears flattened or matted

Gently brush the fabric with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap. Regular vacuuming also helps restore the texture.

Armchair feels wobbly

Check all leg attachments and ensure they are securely tightened. If assembly was recent, double-check all bolts. Over time, wood components can loosen slightly, requiring occasional re-tightening.

Stain on the boucle fabric

Blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth (do not rub). For dried stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water and a small amount of mild upholstery cleaner, then blot gently. For best results and stubborn stains, consult a professional upholstery cleaner.

Squeaking sound when sitting

The squeaking could be from loose joints in the wooden frame. Carefully inspect and tighten any visible screws or bolts, especially those connecting the legs to the main body.

Alternative Cleaning: You can also use a soft-bristled brush or clothes brush, ensuring to brush in the direction of the nap of the fabric. 3. Spill Management: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. DO NOT RUB, as this can spread the stain and damage the fabric fibers. 4. Professional Help: For stubborn stains or deep cleaning, seek professional upholstery cleaning services. 5. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading over time. 6. Frame Care: Wipe the solid wood frame with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
