Care and Cleaning 

Our fabrics are durable, colourfast and easy to care for. We recommend the following cleaning guidelines: 
1.1   Vacuum regularly, using an upholstery brush attachment to remove accumulated grit and dust. 

1.2   Gently blot liquid spills with a clean sponge or cloth as soon as possible. Be careful not to push liquid further into the fabric. Vacuum away dry solids. 

1.3   Dye from apparel fabric that is not colourfast such as denim can rub off onto upholstery, a process called reverse crocking. This type of permanent staining is due to the apparel, not the upholstery fabric. Stain resist treatment on upholstery fabric will not prevent reverse crocking. 

1.4   Some cleaning methods may cause damage to underlying materials. Contact the manufacturer for recommendations before attempting any cleaning procedure. 

1.5   Spot cleaning is recommended for small stains only. For large stains and general soiling, we recommend cleaning the whole cover. 

Spot Cleaning 
2.1   Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use solvent cleaners sparingly in a well - ventilated area away from sparks and open flames. 

2.2   Test the cleaning agent on a hidden or inconspicuous area first, to check for colourfastness. Work from the outside to the centre of the stain. If the stain is small, dabbing may be sufficient. Too much cleaning agent may spread the stain and damage materials under the fabric. Turn the cloth frequently to avoid re-depositing the stain. After cleaning the fabric should be allowed to dry completely.No heat should be used. Take extra care they can leave water rings or traces of shampoo that can affect the appearance and performance qualities of the fabric. Several of our fabrics(and wallpapers) can be used for healthcare and high-performance hospitality applications. Please contact us for more information.

11.2   Recommended applications, independent test results and care instructions are published on our website.

11.6   If you wish to make a claim please contact us at grace@gracegarrett.com.
To verify the claim we may need two 25 cm x 40 cm sized samples clearly showing the claimed failure. 

11.7   We independently test all fabric failures as part of our ongoing quality assurance program and for this reason claims may not be finalised until the fabric has been tested. 

Commercial Tolerances 
12.1   In fabrics with a horizontal pattern allow a tolerance of up to 2 cm for bowing and skewing. Please consult your workroom if you intend using a horizontally striped design for roman blinds, as some designs may not be useable within these tolerances. 

12.2   It is quite normal for printed fabrics to appear slightly“ off square” with respect to the grain of the fabric. This is due to finishing processes, and provided lengths are cut to the pattern rather than to the weft, made - up drapes will hang satisfactorily. 

12.3   Depending on fibre content, there may be some movement in drapery length due to changes in temperature and the absorption and release of moisture in the fabric. The expected residual shrinkage is listed in our specification sheets. We recommend being generous with seams and hems. 

12.4   Fabric widths and repeats are quoted as approximate and adequate allowance should be made for small variations when placing orders. We do not accept responsibility for additional meterage needed due to variations in repeat and width within normal commercial tolerance.
