Caring for a bouclé sofa (Retro Bliss)

Vacuum weekly, moderate suction. Blot immediately — never rub. Foam method for water-soluble stains, baking soda for greasy stains. Never hot water, bleach or hairdryer.

Caring for a velvet sofa (Rhythm)

Vacuum with the pile direction. Prefer dry method. Distilled water if necessary, always with the pile. Remove pile marks with steam and brush.
