From family movie nights to stylish soirées, your sofa sees it all. At Zorora, we believe that great design deserves great care. This guide is crafted to help you protect the beauty and longevity of your investment—so your sofa stays just as inviting as the day you brought it home.
Here’s your go-to guide with simple, practical tips on how to clean and maintain your sofa, especially our FibreGuard and Carefree Smooth fabrics.
1. Caring for Your Sofa Fabric
At Zorora, all our premium FibreGuard fabrics are crafted from 100% polyester and commercial grade with a 30,000 Martindale rub count. This durable synthetic fibre resists wrinkles and pilling, but like all beautiful things, it thrives with a little love.
Understanding Fabric Weaves and Pilling:
- Tight weaves have a smooth surface that reduces friction—great for pilling resistance.
- Loose weaves, like FibreGuard, offer a rich texture but need mindful maintenance to minimize wear.
- Smooth finishes, like Carefree Smooth, on any weave type help prevent fibre abrasion.
💡 Note: Zorora does not offer re-upholstery services for maintenance-related wear, so prevention is key.
2. General Maintenance Tips
Even the finest fabrics experience pilling, especially with natural-look weaves. Fortunately, it's manageable with these simple tips:
- Removing Pilling: Use a vacuum (without brush), electric lint shaver, or sticky tape to gently remove fuzz balls.
- Vacuum Regularly (without brush): Prevent build-up of particles that cause abrasion.
- Mind Your Surroundings: Clothing fabrics like suede, prints, and sateen weaves can transfer friction—opt for non-abrasive options when lounging.
- Pet-Friendly Practices: Use protective covers and avoid sharp objects or pet claws that could snag or tear.
-
Rotate Cushions: It’s the simplest way to keep wear even and maintain structure.
