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 cloth 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 cloth instead, baby wipes can contain fragrance and pH-altering agents that affect velvet pile over time. Blot, do not rub. Allow to air-dry.
