Frequently Asked Questions: 100% Polyester Velvet Sofa Fabric
Q1: What does 100% PL mean?
A: 100% PL is an abbreviation for 100% Polyester. This is a synthetic
fiber known for its exceptional durability, resistance to fading,
and relatively easy maintenance, making it a very popular choice
for upholstery fabrics.
Q2: Is this fabric soft and comfortable for a sofa?
A: Yes. This specific type of polyester fabric is "brushed," a process
that raises the fibers to create an incredibly soft, plush
velvet-like feel. It is designed to be both comfortable for daily
use and durable enough to withstand it.
Q3: How do I clean and maintain this velvet fabric?
A: One of the key benefits of 100% polyester velvet is its ease of
care. For daily maintenance, regular vacuuming with a brush
attachment is recommended to remove dust and crumbs. Most spills
can be blotted with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, you
can typically use a mild upholstery cleaner. Always check the
manufacturer's cleaning code label attached to the furniture for
specific instructions.
Q4: Will the printed design fade or wear off quickly?
A: The print on this type of polyester fabric is generally quite
colorfast and resistant to fading from sunlight due to the
properties of synthetic dyes. However, to prolong the vibrancy of
the colors, it is advisable to avoid placing the sofa in direct,
intense sunlight for prolonged periods.
Q5: Is this fabric a good choice for households with pets or
children?
A: Absolutely. 100% polyester is a strong and resilient material that
resists pilling, stretching, and abrasion better than many natural
fibers. Its brushed velvet texture is also less likely to show
light scratches from pets compared to a smooth fabric. However,
it's important to note that velvet can show impression marks (like
when you sit on it), which is normal and can be easily brushed back
to its original state.
