Wood, Casegoods, and Fabric Care Instructions

Casegoods Care Instructions

At New Classic Furniture, we use Velvet and Chenille fabrics

that are specially manufactured to achieve a slightly distressed

or “vintage” appearance. This antiqued or vintage look of the

fabrics is achieved by stone washing and ﬁnishing the fabric.

The fabric will include intentional markings made by the

washing and ﬁnishing process. Velvet construction fabrics,

Chenille yarns, Suede Fabrics, and Faux Furs are common

upholstery fabrics that have a nap, using high pile yarns.

To “bloom” or “plump” pile yarns to their original state from the

compression of packaging materials during shipment, please

follow the directions below:

1. Using an upholstery brush with soft, ﬂexible bristles,

brush the fabric against the grain, to lift the pile yarns up and

away from the fabric base; depending on the fabric and yarn

type, a second brushing may be required.

2. If you own a small hand-held, or commercial steamer,

next gently steam the aﬀected areas of the fabric, using small

bursts of steam that will “bloom” or plump the pile and yarns.

Never touch the steamer directly to the fabric.

3. If your steamer has a brush attachment, follow the

step above by brushing against the grain of the fabric with the

bristle side of the brush attachment to lift the pile and yarns.

NOTE: When brushing your hand with or down the grain of a

nap or pile fabric, the fabric will feel smooth; when brushing

your hand against the grain of a pile fabric, the fabric will feel

rough.
