Easy Clean Fabrics for Sofas

Easy clean fabrics' fibres are covered with an invisible layer of nanoparticles. This prevents stains from penetrating the fabric resulting in permanent stains.

As a result, you can clean the majority of household stains easily with just water for sofas upholstered with easy clean fabric.

We can use easy clean fabrics in all our fabric sofas so you do not need to compromise between the design you like and easy clean fabric.

Ease of Stain Removal by Type

In general, the more water soluble the stains are, the easier it is to remove them from easy clean fabrics.

As the stains become less water soluble, addition of soap to water and multiple rounds of cleaning is required.

Below, we grouped some common stains by how easy it is to clean them:

Water soluble stains examples

Water Soluble Stains: 1 - 2 rounds of cleaning with water

Partially water soluble stains

Partially Water Soluble Stains: 3 - 4 rounds of cleaning with water and soap

Non water soluble stains

Non Water Soluble Stains: multiple rounds of cleaning with water and soap

Frequently Asked Questions

How it works?

The nanoparticle fabric treatment causes stain particles to stay on the fabric surface.

When we add liquid to the stained areas, the stain particles are dissolved into the liquid solution.

When we wipe the liquid away with a cloth or paper tower, the dissolved stains are also removed.

Are all stains removable with water?

The more water soluble the stain particles are, the easier it is to clean them.

For stains such as grease that are oil soluble instead, addition of soap to water is required.

Soap have both a water loving end and an oil loving end. This helps to bind the oil stains to water.

What is the difference between easy clean and stain resistance treatment?

Stain resistance treatment

With stain resistance treatment, the fabric becomes hydrophobic and oleophobic.

Water and oil spills bead up on the surface of the fabric due to the protective coating.

As a result, the fabric will not easily become wet due to accidental water and oil spills.

Within a limited time that the beading up persists, stains can be easily wiped away.

The effect of this treatment tends to wears off overtime after 1 - 2 years.

However, water and stain resistance treatment solutions can be easily purchased in stores for reapplication.

Easy clean treatment

For easy clean treatment, the nanoparticles applied prevents stains from penetrating the fabric.

The fabric does not become hydrophoic or oleophobic so accidental spills will wet the fabric.

The stains stay on the fabric surface so they can be easily cleaned by dissolving them in liquid solution.

Its effect is slightly more permanent compared to stain resistance treatment, lasting between 2 - 3 years.

However, customers are unable to reapply the nanoparticles treatment themselves after the effect wears off.

Can you do both easy clean and stain resistance treatment on fabric?

Easy clean and stain resistance treatment use different principles to simplify fabric maintenance.

For easy clean fabrics, liquid need to soak through the fabric to dissolve the stain particles.

With addition of stain resistance, it prevents the dissolving process required for stain removal.

As a result, we recommend customer to do only one form of treatment for your upholstery fabrics.
