How to Clean FibreGuard Fabrics in 3 Simple Steps

FibreGuard fabrics combine style with next-level performance: every yarn is engineered with a permanent stain-resistant finish, so spills don’t stand a chance. The secret, however, is knowing the right technique to lift the stain before it sets. Luckily, it only takes household items—no bleach, no solvent cleaners, and absolutely no stress.

The Quick‑Clean Method

Scoop or lift away any residue. If the stain has solids (mud, sauce, lipstick), scrape the excess off gently with a teaspoon or blunt knife so you’re tackling the fabric—not the lump.
Blot with water. Dampen a white paper towel, lay it over the mark and press. Repeat until the towel shows no more colour transfer. Blotting avoids tearing fibres and forces the liquid into the paper, not deeper into the weave.
Wipe in gentle circles. Add a little more water, then massage the spot with a clean micro‑fibre cloth using small circular motions. For stubborn stains, glide a plain white bar soap over the area and keep wiping until clean.

After‑Care Tips

Air dry only. Let the spot dry naturally—heat guns and hairdryers can set any remaining pigment.
Skip harsh chemicals—bleach, acetone and scouring pads void the fabric warranty.

Tough Stain Cheat‑Sheet

Stain	Extra step
Ink / Permanent marker	Add soap sooner and keep circular motion light and steady.
Red wine / Coffee	Blot immediately—speed is everything!
Chewing gum / Wax	Harden with an ice cube first, then lift the pieces off before Step 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Won’t water marks show afterwards?

No. FibreGuard fibres are inherently hydrophobic, so plain tap water will not leave a ring once air-dried.

Can I use a steam cleaner?

Yes, for deep‑set dirt on large surfaces, but always finish with the 3‑step method on any visible spots.

Does the stain‑resistant finish wash off over time?

Never—the technology is locked into every yarn at production, so it lasts the lifetime of the fabric.

What is a Running Meter

A running meter is a unit of measurement used for fabric and other roll materials. It refers to one meter in length of the material, while the width remains fixed as determined by the manufacturer.

For example, if a fabric is 140 cm wide, then 1 running meter means you get a piece that is 1 meter long × 140 cm wide. If the fabric is 280 cm wide, then 1 running meter would be 1 meter long × 280 cm wide.

What is railroaded fabric?

Railroaded fabric is designed so that the pattern runs horizontally across the roll rather than vertically. This is particularly useful for upholstery projects, such as sofas and headboards where you want to avoid seams and pattern interruptions on wide surfaces. For curtaining, railroaded fabrics can also be used to create seamless, floor-to-ceiling drapes when the width of the fabric allows.

What is double-width fabric?

Double-width or wide-width fabric typically measures 280 cm or more in width. This is ideal for curtains because it allows for seamless, floor-to-ceiling drops without the need for joins. It’s also great for upholstery projects that require larger fabric pieces with fewer seams. Many wide-width fabrics are also railroaded, offering even greater flexibility for seamless installations.
