Frequently asked questions about chenille upholstery fabric
What is chenille upholstery fabric?
Chenille is made with soft, fuzzy yarns that give the fabric a warm look and a pleasant feel. The structure can be fine and even, or coarser and more pronounced.
Can chenille be used for a sofa or chair?
Many chenille fabrics have been developed for furniture upholstery. For intensive use, always check the Martindale rating and the application stated for the collection concerned.
Can chenille appear to change colour?
Because of the soft fibres, light can reflect differently from different directions. This can make slight shading or pile marks (seat marks) visible; this is part of the character of the fabric.
How do I clean chenille?
Vacuum the fabric carefully and blot stains as quickly as possible with a clean cloth. Avoid hard rubbing and excessive moisture. For stubborn stains, follow the care advice for the specific product.
How do I choose the right chenille colour and structure?
Ideally, assess the fabric with a sample in the light of the room where the furniture will stand. That way you can check not only the colour, but also the softness, structure and sheen in advance.
