Fabric Care Guide

We're here to help. Here are the care instructions for all our fabrics.

General Care

We know spills happen and at Coley Home we have a wide range of materials offered and they all need specific care. In general, when cleaning your fabric, please remember:

  1. For slipcovers, dry cleaning always delivers the best and most consistent results. It is also the easiest.
  2. To preserve the integrity of your fabric, avoid direct contact with unnecessary chemicals and enzymes.
  3. Spot cleaning is tricky and is not recommended with every fabric, especially pigment-dyed and printed items. Always blot – never rub.
  4. If you choose to machine wash your slipcovers, always remember to close all zippers and use a cold, gentle cycle with mild, enzyme-free detergent.
  5. Wash all pieces of the slipcover to maintain color uniformity.
  6. Do not use washers with an agitator (a rotating column in the center of the wash basket), and do not overfill your washer.
  7. Air drying is always best. Hang dry until almost dry, then tumble for a few minutes to fluff the fibers back.
  8. A vacuum with an upholstery attachment works best for dirt and dust.

Coley Home is not responsible for damages occurred while cleaning, but we have reached out to all of our vendors and also tested our fabrics ourselves to provide the best care information. Please remember dry cleaning is always the safest route. There are simply too many variables, and washing should be done at your own risk.

General Spot Cleaning Tips:

The sooner you address a spill, the better your results will be. As a general rule of thumb, you should never rub a fabric. Liquid spills can be gently absorbed using a clean, white cloth, and standing spills like yogurt can be gently scraped away with a spoon. Our pigment-dyed fabrics (Ringo & Reynolds), and our prints are prone to fading and discoloration, so be very careful when treating these.

Machine Wash General Tips:

Machine washing should always be done at your own risk. There are simply too many factors involved. That being said, if done properly, we have seen great results with many of our fabrics. We recommend using a gentle cycle with mild, enzyme-free detergents. Make sure the slipcovers are properly zipped, and your washer does not have an agitator (a rotating column in the center of the wash basket). The color may fade slightly, so make sure you wash the full slipcover for consistency. Please wash alone, and make sure that the slipcover has plenty of room and is not overcrowded.

Professional Extraction Cleaning Service:

For those upholstered pieces you can't take to the dry cleaners, a professional extraction cleaning service is a great option! We recommend doing this once a year to keep your upholstery feeling fresh and clean!

Upholstery Cushion Care

We can not stress the importance of fluffing your cushions. People tend to sit on the same place on a piece of furniture, so it is very important to fluff and rotate regularly. In order to do this, please unzip the casing and adjust the cushion and down wrap. Zip it back up and give it a good beating, and then place it on the other side. We recommend doing this monthly, especially with bench seats.
