FLUFFINESS UNDER CONTROL: THE KNOW-HOW OF VITO, LAPIT AND BUBBLE

Nothing adds coziness and comfort like arrangements featuring fur as the main element. Whether it’s a rug, a blanket, or a sofa cover – eco-friendly fur attracts attention and invites relaxation. Lapit captivates with softness, fluffiness, and beautifully arranged fibers. Vito and Bubble resemble delicate rabbit fur combined with raised stripes or hemispheres, enhancing tactile sensations even further.

How to maintain their unique look and fluffiness longer? Here are some tips on everyday care for furry fabrics to keep them looking as elegant and noble as on day one:

Vacuuming and refreshing furry fabrics

How to Vacuum and Refresh Fur-Style fabric?

It’s common for furry fabrics to show slight flattening or “matting down” of fibers in frequently used areas (e.g., seats, armrests). This is a natural feature of long-fibered materials and does not indicate a defect.

· Regular brushing – every few days, gently brush the fabric with a brush or fine-toothed comb to restore fiber resilience and smoothness. First, brush several times in the direction of the fibers, then lightly (once or twice) against the fiber to boost fluffiness;
· Vacuuming – use a soft brush attachment for upholstery and vacuum following the direction of the fibers. Never use a turbo brush (risk of fiber removal and damage to fabric structure);
· Refreshing and restoring fiber resilience with a steamer is also a great way to eliminate microbes and keep the fur clean. During steaming, the device must not touch the fabric surface, and the steam (max temp 100°C) should be dispersed and not concentrated in one spot. Remember to brush the fibers before and after steaming.

Cleaning and stain removal

· Gently remove stains and dirt with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild cleaner (e.g., OA Sofa Care). Use circular motions to clean stained areas;
· For tougher stains, spray OA Stain Eliminator from 10-20 cm away and leave for about 30 seconds to allow penetration and activation. Then clean the entire surface thoroughly with a damp microfiber cloth. Remove excess moisture with an absorbent cloth or paper towel;
· Dry naturally at room temperature, away from heat sources (radiators, hairdryers), then brush the fibers;
· Do not iron or expose furry fabrics to direct high heat – this can damage the fiber structure, cause discoloration, or permanently flatten the fibers.

What to use for brushing the fur fibers?

How to Restore Fluffiness to Fur-Like Fabrics?

· Plastic or metal comb with wide-spaced teeth and rounded ends – best for initial detangling and gently separating long, tangled fibers (Lapit);
· Brush with natural, slightly stiffer bristles – for smoothing and daily care;
· Tangle-type brush with soft, flexible needles – for gentle brushing and restoring fluffiness of furs (Vito, Bubble, Lapit).

Common mistakes in using and cleaning furry fabrics

How Not to Clean Fur-Like Fabrics?

· Rubbing and using rough brushes – destroys fibers and deforms the pile;
· Excessive wetting – water can deform fibers and cause stains;
· Using strong detergents – bleaches, solvents, or chemicals not designed for upholstery fabrics;
· Drying with hot air – damages fiber structure and risks discoloration;
· Aggressive brushing – may stretch and damage the fur structure;
· Neglecting regular brushing – causes fiber matting.

FURRY SKIN – beauty that requires care

These fabrics are aesthetically sophisticated, decorative, and surprisingly durable. However, their unique texture requires a proper usage approach. It’s important, even at the sales or interior design stage, to be aware that correct care directly affects the aesthetics and durability of decorative accents or upholstered furniture made with these materials. This awareness helps avoid misunderstandings and complaints caused by ignorance.

Fur-like fabrics are not just a trend – they are an ecological choice. And every conscious choice deserves professional support.
