There are few fabrics as comforting as bouclé; its delectably tactile teddy bear-like texture entices the touch, inviting you to snuggle into its sumptuous softness. Bouclé fabric lends itself beautifully to bedroom furniture, creating cosy corners in which to relax and unwind as you prepare for a peaceful night’s sleep. Embrace bouclé for a wonderful feeling of warmth and charm in your effortlessly elegant décor.
Bouclé is renowned for its durability, with tightly woven loops in the fabric making it resilient to everyday wear and tear. However, these intricate yarns require a little care and attention to maintain their enduring beauty over time. Discover our expert guidance on how to clean bouclé material, ensuring you make the most of its luxurious softness and elegant appearance in your bedroom furniture and accessories.
How to clean bouclé
To cherish the exquisitely soft feel of your bouclé fabric, it’s essential to understand how to clean it properly. A routine of regular tender loving care alongside occasional spot cleaning for spills or stains is the cornerstone of preserving its splendour. This thoughtful and proactive approach ensures that your bouclé treasures remain as beautiful as the day you welcomed them into your home, so you can revel in their wonder for as long as possible.
Whether your bedroom is graced with a luxurious bouclé bed, stylish bouclé chair or more subtle bouclé accents, such as plush cushions and cosy throws, we encourage you to gently vacuum each piece on a weekly basis. Using a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner ensures that dust and debris remains at bay, preserving the intricate loops of the bouclé and preventing dirt from dulling its luscious appearance.
It's crucial to handle spills or stains with utmost care to prevent any lasting marks on the delicate bouclé fabric. Begin by gently dabbing the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb excess liquid and lift the stain from the loops, rather than letting it seep deeper. Avoid rubbing, as this could damage the intricate fibres of the fabric. For more stubborn stains or a deeper clean, we recommend seeking the expertise of a professional dry cleaner.
How to care for bouclé
Alongside your regular cleaning routine, you can proactively care for your bouclé furniture and accessories, ensuring they remain resilient against wear and tear while preserving their plushness and texture. Every so often, use a soft-bristled brush to gently fluff up the bouclé fibres, moving in the direction of the fabric's weave to prevent tangling or fraying.
When enjoying the comfort of bouclé fabric, be mindful of sharp objects, such as keys or jewellery, that could potentially catch the delicate loops. If you have pets, take care of their claws when they are curled up with you on your bouclé furniture, as they can inadvertently cause pulls or snags in the material. Any loose threads should be trimmed promptly to prevent further damage to the bouclé.
Just like any textile, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lead to fading over time, so position furniture away from windows or draw the blinds during daylight hours whenever possible. For accessories such as cushions, regularly rotating and fluffing keeps the filling evenly distributed and preserves their plush shape. By adopting these simple care practices, you can ensure your bouclé pieces continue to bring warmth and comfort to your home.
