Fleming Howland upholstery is selected for its natural character, durability and ability to develop beautifully with use. As with all natural materials, a little considered care will help preserve its appearance and performance over time.
Care requirements vary according to the upholstery material. Select the relevant guide below for advice on routine maintenance, spills, cleaning and the natural characteristics you can expect as your furniture ages.
Leathers
Natural and hand-coloured leathers require relatively little maintenance. Learn how to protect the surface, deal with spills and understand the natural markings, colour variation and patina that develop with use.
Mohair
Mohair velvet is exceptionally durable, with a distinctive pile and lustre that can naturally shade or mark through use. Learn how gentle vacuuming, brushing and occasional steaming can keep the pile looking its best.
Cotton velvet
Cotton velvet has a softer pile and naturally develops subtle shading and pressure marks over time. Our guide explains routine cleaning, pile maintenance and how to deal with spills without damaging the surface.
Wool
Wool is naturally resilient, breathable and resistant to everyday soiling. Regular gentle vacuuming and prompt attention to spills are generally all that is required to keep wool upholstery looking its best.
