Cleaning textiles

With the right products, cleaning textiles is easy and safe. In this collection, you’ll find cleaners and protectors for upholstered furniture, cushions, curtains, and other fabric-covered surfaces. That way, you keep your interior fresh, well cared for, and pleasant to use.

Cleaning textiles without the hassle

Fabric quickly attracts dirt, dust, and odors. Think of a sofa, dining chair, or armchair that’s used every day. By cleaning textiles regularly, you prevent stains from setting in and keep the fabric looking neat for longer. Especially with light upholstery or frequently used furniture, a good textile cleaner is well worth it.

For daily and periodic maintenance, you can also take a look at products for textile care. If you want to better protect fabric surfaces after cleaning against new stains, then textile protection is a logical next step.

What do you use a textile cleaner for?

A good cleaner for textiles is suitable for many places in the home. You can use these products for, among others:

• fabric sofas and armchairs
• upholstered dining chairs
• decorative cushions and throws
• curtains and other fabric home accessories
• floor textiles such as rugs and runners

Do you mainly have a rug or carpet that needs a freshen-up? Then also check out the carpet cleaner collection for a more targeted solution.

Buying guide: which product suits your situation?

For local stains

Are you dealing with a small stain from coffee, wine, or grease? Then choose a product suitable for targeted cleaning. This way, you treat only the area that needs it and avoid unnecessarily wetting the fabric.

For an entire sofa or chair

Do you want to clean a larger surface, such as a sofa set or several chairs? Then a textile cleaner for complete upholstery is more practical. It allows you to work evenly and reduces the risk of color differences or streaks.

For extra protection after cleaning

Is a piece of furniture used intensively, for example in the living room or at the dining table? Then after cleaning, choose a protective product as well. It helps moisture and dirt penetrate the fabric less quickly.

For new or delicate fabrics

Always test a cleaner first on an inconspicuous area. This is especially important with fine, mélange, or lighter fabrics. That way, you can be sure the fabric reacts well to the product.

Practical tips for a great result

• First remove loose dust and crumbs with the vacuum cleaner.
• Work from the outside in when treating a stain so it doesn’t spread.
• Use not too much water. Cleaning with too much moisture can leave rings.
• Let the textile dry thoroughly before using it again.
• Treat an entire seat or backrest if you want to avoid color differences.

Frequently asked questions about cleaning textiles

How often should I clean textiles?

That depends on how they’re used. A sofa or dining chair used every day is best refreshed regularly and treated immediately when stains appear. A thorough cleaning is needed when the fabric looks dull, smells less fresh, or is visibly dirty.

Can I use a textile cleaner on any fabric?

No, not every fabric reacts the same. Always check your furniture’s label and test the product first on a small, inconspicuous area. This is especially important with light, delicate, or coarse weaves.

How do I prevent rings after cleaning?

Use not too much product or water and work evenly. For larger stains, it’s smart to treat a bigger area right away, such as an entire seat. Then let the fabric dry calmly.

What is better: just cleaning or also protecting?

Cleaning removes dirt and stains. Protection helps new stains penetrate less quickly. If you use a piece of furniture intensively, a combination of both is often the best choice.

Is a regular all-purpose cleaner suitable for textiles?

That is usually not recommended. Regular cleaning products can be too strong for fabric and may damage the fibers or cause discoloration. It’s better to choose a product specially made for upholstery and other fabric surfaces.
