Interior Decorating and Styling Product Care Instructions
Fabric is precious. Set out below are a few guidelines to help you care for any fabric-based Art Products offered via our online shop. Please note, these care tips are guidelines only and variations will apply to some fabrics, and we will not be liable under any circumstances for how you choose to use and interpret this information.
Washable natural fibres should be pre-washed to avoid shrinkage. It is recommended that you pre-wash in the same way you intend to wash in the future. Wash light and bright colours separately, as some colours may run in their first few washes. Special washing instructions will apply to some fabrics such as beaded, coated or foiled fabrics as well as specialty weights/styles and delicate Art Products. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Merino: machine washable on a gentle/wool cycle using a wool detergent, do not wring. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on a cool setting or dry flat in shade. Use warm iron. Do not dry clean.
Silk: dry clean only or handwash at your own risk using a silk friendly detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry. If hand washing, dry in shade. Use warm iron.
Cotton: wash separately, cool hand wash or cool machine wash on delicate setting. Do not tumble dry, do not wring, soak or bleach. Some parts of the Art Product may be delicate and are required to be handled with care.
Linen: cool handwash or gentle machine wash, wash colours separately, do not wring. Tumble dry on a cool setting or dry in shade. Use a warm/hot iron.
Rayon/Viscose: dry clean or cool machine wash or hand wash. Do not twist or wring. Warm iron on the reverse side.
Wool: dry clean only, use cool/warm iron, steam when pressing, brush wool to remove surface soil.
Triacetate: dry cleanable or cool machine wash or hand wash. Do not twist or wring. Warm iron on reverse side.
Tencel/Lyocell: cold machine wash, dry on low temperature and cool iron. Dry cleanable. Do not bleach.
Acetate: dry clean, machine wash or hand wash separately in warm water. Do not soak coloured items, do not twist or wring and warm iron on reverse side. Do not tumble dry.
Laces/Jacquards: dry clean only. These fabrics are delicate so be careful against rough surfaces and snagging.
Velvet: dry clean only, do not spot clean. Never iron as ironing is likely to crush or flatten the natural pile. A hand-held steamer can be used to remove creasing. Alternatively, hang your fabric or garment in a steamy bathroom as the steam may help relax any creasing. Avoid using clip hangers as these can bruise or mark the fabric.
Nylon/Polyester: dry clean or cold machine wash, tumble dry on low temperature and cool iron. Do not bleach.
Leather: to remove dirt or surface residue, use a soft damp cloth. Gently rub for removal. For a deeper clean, use a leather cleaner to help preserve the natural smooth oils instead of stripping them. Let your handmade leather goods dry naturally. To prevent leather from losing suppleness over time use a wax-free leather conditioner that will nourish and restore the flexibility and suppleness of your leather goods. To waterproof your handmade leather pieces, treat them with a layer of water protectant while maintaining the leather’s breathability.
