Knowing how to take care of your cushions is essential for their durability. They require specific cleaning techniques because they all have different and unique characteristics. To avoid damage you must always check the care label which contains many useful information about cleaning. For example, velvet and linen are not meant to be washed in hot water, so be careful when you choose the washing machine program. On the other hand, leather can be washed using a damp cloth and distilled water.
