Why velvet needs extra care

Velvet consists of millions of tiny fibres that together form its characteristic soft pile. That pile gives velvet its luxurious look, but also makes it vulnerable. Daily use crushes the fibres flat, liquids leave rings and incorrect cleaning permanently damages the structure.

  • Crushed pile from sitting, lying and daily use — your sofa loses its soft sheen
  • Water marks and rings that remain visible because velvet absorbs moisture unevenly
  • Discolouration from sunlight, body oils and dirt that builds up in the fine fibres
  • Scratches and streaks caused by rubbing against the grain of the fabric
  • Dust and allergens that become trapped deep within the dense pile
  • Damage from household products that are not suitable for velvet

When should you have velvet professionally cleaned?

Velvet is not a fabric you can simply clean yourself. Many common cleaning methods actually damage the delicate pile. Do you recognise any of these situations? Then it is time for a specialist.

The pile of your velvet sofa is crushed and no longer feels soft
There are stains on the velvet that you cannot remove yourself
Your velvet sofa has become discoloured or looks dull and faded
Water marks or rings are visible on the fabric
The sofa smells musty or unpleasant despite regular airing
You have tried something yourself but the result has worsened

How we clean velvet sofas

Expert velvet cleaning in three steps

01

Inspection and pile analysis

We assess the type of velvet, the pile direction and the condition of your sofa. Stains, discolouration and crushed areas are mapped out. Based on this, we determine the technique and products that best suit your velvet.

02

Gentle deep cleaning

We clean your velvet sofa using low-moisture techniques specially developed for delicate fabrics. The pile is cleaned following the natural fibre direction. Dirt and allergens are removed without compromising the structure.

03

Pile restoration and finishing

After cleaning, we carefully brush the pile back up in the correct direction. Your velvet sofa regains its soft, full appearance. We share tips to keep the pile in good condition for longer.

Why you should never clean velvet yourself

The pile direction of velvet determines how the fabric looks — brushing incorrectly causes permanent streaks
Too much moisture leaves rings and water marks that will not come out
Standard supermarket cleaning products can damage the colour of velvet
Rubbing velvet damages the fibres and creates bald, shiny patches
Professional low-moisture cleaning removes dirt from the pile without disrupting the structure
We brush the pile in the correct direction after cleaning for an even result

What to expect after our velvet cleaning

The pile is raised again and feels soft and full
Stains and rings are removed without leaving traces
The colour of your velvet is deep and vibrant once more
Crushed areas are restored and the texture is even
Dust, allergens and odours are removed from the dense pile
Your sofa looks like the luxury piece of furniture it is meant to be

Tips for maintaining your velvet sofa

Velvet stays beautiful longer with proper care. Brush your velvet sofa weekly with a soft velvet brush following the direction of the pile. Never use water or damp cloths to remove stains — moisture soaks in unevenly and leaves rings. Do not vacuum velvet at full power; use a soft brush attachment on a low setting. Rotate loose cushions regularly so wear is distributed evenly. Keep your velvet sofa out of direct sunlight, as UV rays fade the colour. And most importantly: do not try to remove stains yourself with household remedies. With velvet, that almost always makes it worse.
