Here are smart tips for cleaning button-tufted linen fabric beds from ARV Furniture in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada:
1. Regular Dusting & Vacuuming
Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the fabric and tufted buttons.
Vacuum weekly to prevent dirt from settling deep into the fabric.
2. Spot Cleaning Stains
Act fast! Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
For water-based stains: Use a mild dish soap and water solution. Dip a cloth, blot gently, and let air dry.
For oil-based stains: Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch to absorb oil, wait 15 minutes, then vacuum.
3. Deep Cleaning with Fabric Cleaner
Use an upholstery fabric cleaner (make sure it’s safe for linen).
Test it on a hidden area first to check for discoloration.
Apply with a soft cloth and gently dab, avoiding excessive moisture.
4. Cleaning Tufted Buttons
Use a soft toothbrush to remove dirt buildup around buttons.
A damp cotton swab with mild soap works well for deeper cleaning.
5. Avoid Excess Moisture
Linen fabric absorbs moisture quickly, so avoid over-wetting.
Use a fan or hairdryer on low heat to speed up drying.
6. Preventative Care
Rotate and fluff pillows to prevent fabric wear.
Consider a fabric protector spray to prevent stains.
Keep the bed away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.
