WOOL

Wool is an excellent hardwearing upholstery fabric, which with proper care will suit all but the most demanding of locations.

Wool naturally resists stains and water; It has a natural resistance to dirt and dust and cleans with more ease than most fabrics, and also goes perfectly with any piece of commercial restaurant furniture.

Fabrics should be regularly vacuumed with an appropriate upholstery head on the vacuum cleaner and wiped down with a damp cloth. Spills should be mopped up promptly. You should not use soap detergent or bleach and care should be taken not to saturate the fabric.

Where more thorough cleaning is required a proprietary brand of fabric shampoo may be used in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

Companies such as Abbotsford fabrics (http://www.abbotsfordfabrics.co.uk) and Kvadrat (http://www.kvadrat.co.uk) supply a wide range of upholstery fabrics with a high wool content which can be viewed online and provide a complete technical specification.
