Rules for use and care of fabrics

Toptextil sp. z o.o. is not liable for mechanical damage or damage resulting from improper use and/or cleaning of the fabric.

Individual fabric production batches may differ slightly in shade from the colors presented in the sample book.

It is assumed that, depending on the type of fabric, abrasion resistance in the range of 2000-4000 Martindale cycles corresponds to approximately 1 year of normal use of the furniture.

According to ISO 13936, the correct stitch density is 33-35 stitches per 10 cm of fabric, with a minimum stitching distance from the edge of the fabric of at least 1.5 cm.

Sharp objects should not be used to unpack fabrics and furniture, as this may damage the fabric.

When moving furniture, hold onto its solid, hard parts. Do not hold onto soft parts (upholstery), as this may cause irreversible damage to the fabric.

The furniture should be placed in a location that allows for its unrestricted use. Avoid places where the furniture will be exposed to frequent abrasion, e.g., narrow passageways.

The furniture should be placed away from heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, and stoves, as these can have a negative effect on the fabric.Długotrwała ekspozycja tkaniny na promienie słoneczne może spowodować jej odbarwienia.

Protect the furniture from scratches, e.g., from animal claws or sharp items of clothing.

Efekt mechacenia i pillingu wynika z właściwości tkaniny i nie jest możliwy do całkowitego wyeliminowania. To naturalny proces podczas użytkowania tkaniny.

W skutek tarcia o tkaninę możliwa jest migracja włókien z innej tkaniny – efekt mikrofibrylizacji – oraz migracja barwników z tkanin ciemniejszych na tkaniny jaśniejsze np. ciemniejsze spodnie mogą odbarwić jasną tapicerkę.

Nie należy stosować nakryć (koc, narzuta) na meblu, gdyż może skutkować to powstaniem pillingu obcego czyli migracji obcych włókien na obicie mebla.

Dopuszcza się odkształcenia, zmarszczenia oraz pofałdowania tapicerki, na najczęściej użytkowanych elementach mebla np. siedzisko. Aby zminimalizować odkształcenia zaleca się równomierne użytkowanie mebla oraz ręczne wygładzenie powierzchni tapicerki.

W przypadku tkanin z włosiem (dzianin, szenili), aby zminimalizować zjawisko stałych zagnieceń zaleca się ręczne wygładzenie powierzchni tapicerki po każdym użytkowaniu.

Punktowe napięcia np. skakanie, mogą doprowadzić do różnego typu uszkodzeń mechanicznych, rozprucia oraz rozejścia tkaniny.

Any stains should be removed immediately using a dry, light-colored cloth, paper towel, or other absorbent material, gently pressing it against the spilled liquid.

Do not use items that may damage the fabric structure, such as a rough sponge or brush.

A solution of gray soap and water is recommended for removing stains from fabrics.

The fabric should be cleaned in the direction of the pile (in the case of knitted fabrics and velvets) from the outside of the stain to the center to prevent the stain from spreading further. In the case of heavier soiling, it is advisable to clean the entire piece of furniture to prevent streaks from appearing.

When cleaning, do not rub the fabric or apply too much pressure.

When removing stains, take special care not to dampen the other components of the furniture.

Before using professional chemicals to clean the upholstery, test the product on an inconspicuous area.

Vacuuming fabrics is not recommended. Improper cleaning of fabrics can lead to static electricity, pilling, and even damage to the structure of the material. To avoid damage, it is recommended to use appropriate cleaning methods, adapted to the type of fabric, and to test the cleaning on a less visible part of the fabric before cleaning.

The PetProof label indicates that the fabric is more resistant to snagging. However, it should be remembered that no fabric is indestructible, and intense or prolonged exposure to sharp objects may cause damage.

The WaterRepelent label indicates that the fabric is more resistant to absorbing liquids. Spilled liquids should be removed immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel, gently pressing it against the liquid so that it absorbs it. Rubbing the material is not necessary. In addition, please note that spilled liquids left on the furniture will eventually soak into the material.

The EasyClean label indicates increased resistance to staining. Any stains should be removed immediately using a clean, damp cloth, wiping the stain several times in the direction of the pile until it is completely removed. The material should dry on its own. In addition, please note that intense stains left on the material may cause permanent discoloration.

WaterRepelent and EasyClean protection may be weakened after each cleaning of the fabric, but this process does not affect its appearance.
