0STEP 011
Handling & Storage
- If your fabric has a zipper, keep it zipped during storage to protect the teeth and prevent snagging.
- Wrinkles? A cool iron or fabric steamer will smooth them right out — never use high heat.
- Never store fabric damp or wet. Always let it fully air dry before packing.
- Remove fabric from plastic packaging for long-term storage. Store rolled or flat in a cool, dry place.
0STEP 022
Washing
- Machine washable — remove all hardware (frames, hooks, clips) before washing.
- Use mild soap and cool water only. No bleach, no fabric softener.
- Air dry on the frame if available, or hang flat. Do not tumble dry.
- Fabric must be completely dry before storing.
DO NOT DRY CLEAN
0STEP 033
Stain Treatment
- Always treat stains from the backside of the fabric to push the stain out, not deeper in.
- Gently remove loose debris with a soft-bristle brush — don't scrub hard.
- Use a clean, lint-free white cloth. Lightly dab from the outside edge inward to prevent spreading.
- If using a cleaning solution, rinse thoroughly with water afterward — no residue should remain.
- Test any cleaner on a small, hidden corner first. Most household fabric stain removers work well, but always check the label.
