UAE-specific notes

Humidity cycles 30-70%. Maintain consistent A/C. Weekly dusting matters more in Dubai than in European climates.

Frequently asked questions.

How often should I clean my Saint Objets piece?

Weekly light maintenance, vacuum or wipe depending on fabric, keeps upholstery in condition. Deep or professional clean every 12-18 months for most fabrics. Vegan leather: monthly wipe with a damp towel is sufficient.

Can I use a steam cleaner?

Not recommended for velvet or bouclé, steam can distort pile and cause shrinkage. Vegan leather can tolerate light steam at distance. Belgian linen: professional upholstery clean only, no steam at home.

My dog scratched the velvet. Can it be repaired?

Light claw marks on velvet can often be brushed out with a velvet brush. Deep tears or pulled seams: contact the studio for upholstery repair. The studio can re-upholster panels on request.

My velvet sofa has faded in one corner from sunlight. What can I do?

Velvet fades under prolonged direct sun. Rotate cushions quarterly if the sofa is in a south or west-facing room. For significant fading, the studio can re-upholster the affected panels, contact the studio with photos for a quote.

Is it safe to clean performance velvet with baby wipes?

Use a clean damp white fabric instead, baby wipes can contain fragrance and pH-altering agents that affect velvet pile over time. Blot, do not rub. Allow to air-dry.
