It is difficult to clean Chenille because it is a soft and delicate fabric.When it comes into contact with water, the fabric on chenille is prone to shrink.It's important that you use solvent-based cleaners and take care when cleaning your sofa yourself.By following the proper methods, you can keep your sofa clean.
Step 1: The sofa needs to be brushed.
If you want to loosen up dirt on the sofa, use a soft bristled upholstery brush or baby's hair brush.If the area is dirty, go over it in a back and forth motion.The fabric shouldn't be damaged by the soft bristles on your brush.
Step 2: The sofa needs to be vacuumed.
Attach the upholstery brush to the vacuum.You can use the attachment to lightly go over the surface of the couch and suck up the dirt that you loosened with brushing.
Step 3: You should brush and vacuum your sofa on a weekly basis.
Dirt can become embedded into your sofa's fibers if you vacuum regularly.If you notice a build up of dirt and dust on your sofa, you can brush it more often.Less often you'll have to have your sofa professionally cleaned if you vacuum and brush it more often.
Step 4: It spills with a cotton towel.
Blotting stains will prevent the stain from sinking into the fabric of the sofa.Rub the stain.The stain will spread if you rub it.It will be harder to remove the stain if you let it dry.
Step 5: The fabric should be brushed with a hairbrush.
To comb the fabric, use a soft brush.The material on the outer surface of the couch should be lifted by this.
Step 6: Put fabric cleaner on the stain.
A small amount of fabric cleaner can be used.These come as a spray or foam and don't contain water, which can cause it to shrink.If you want to cover the stain, do not saturate your sofa.You can buy solvent based upholstery cleaners at major department stores.If the cleaner is solvent based, check the label.There is an upholstery cleaner that is specifically made for chenille fabrics.
Step 7: Place a clean rag on the stain.

Step 9: Don't wash your upholstery.
You shouldn't machine wash the chenille upholstery if you have it.You can't fit the upholstery over the pillows when you're done cleaning it because water can cause it to shrink.
Step 10: Keep dyes and corrosives away from your sofa.
The dye in newspapers, ink, nail polish, or paint could permanently and irreparably stain the surface of your sofa.When using these products, keep them away from the sofa.
Step 11: The tag is on the cushions.
It will give you a better idea of how to clean your furniture if there are tags on it.Since chenille is prone to shrink, the tag will most likely read S, which means that you should only use a dry solvent, or an X, if you want to professionally clean it.If you see an X tag on your sofa, don't try to clean it yourself.
Step 12: There is a professional for deep cleaning.
It's important that you don't try to deep clean the couch yourself because the fabric is sensitive to different products.Any deep cleaning issues should be handled by a professional.
