Fabric Care

Moran has an extensive range of fabrics that are specifically selected for use on quality upholstery. These include microfibres. These are faux suede which should NOT be treated as leathers, but fabrics. These microfibres have Teflon coatings which guards against accidental spills and stains.

Sunlight
The harmful effects of sunlight as well as some household lighting may cause fading and fibre damage. So it is important to keep drapes closed whenever possible. Rotating and reversing cushions also helps protect your investment. Some drying methods make certain fabrics more susceptible to fading.

Pilling
Pilling can be expected on some fabrics and is not considered a fabric fault. Fibre pills can be removed using an electronic pilling machine. Lightly rotate the pilling machine over the affected area. Repeat if required.

Dust
Dust accumulates on furniture daily and may become abrasive causing accelerated wear and tear. Vacuum weekly to fortnightly using the appropriate upholstery attachment on a low suction.

Rotation
Rotate or reverse cushions regularly. This evens out usage and wear to minimise “favourite chair syndrome”.

Beware
Pet fur is particularly oily and can easily cause permanent discolouration. Claws, belt buckles, heels, keys, etc can cut and pull fibres.

Sitting
Sitting on the cushion edges or the arms causes premature wearing of fabric as well as the inner componentary. It also causes undue stress on seams, piping and zips.
