Bean bags are a cozy and stylish addition to any home, but keeping them clean can be a challenge. At Welling, we specialize in custom bean bag chairs and lazy sofas, crafted with care in China. We understand the importance of maintaining your bean bag to ensure it stays comfortable and attractive. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to clean your bean bag, highlighting the best practices for different materials.

 

General Cleaning Tips

 

As a general rule of thumb, always surface spot clean your bean bag with a damp sponge. Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning bean bag fabrics, as this can damage the cover or cause it to shrink. Never use bleach products, as they can discolor your bean bag.

 

Cleaning Different Bean Bag Fabrics

 

The cleaning method you use will depend largely on the material of your bean bag. Here are our top tips for cleaning various bean bag fabrics, ensuring your Welling bean bag remains in top condition.

 

Cleaning Cotton and Durable Materials

 

Bean bags made of cotton bean bags, corduroy, indoor/outdoor fabric, and other durable materials are relatively easy to clean. For these, spot clean with a damp cloth and soapy water. Use light, circular motions during the spot cleaning process. For more difficult patches, gently scrub with a moist, soft-bristled toothbrush, then wipe the moisture off with a dry cloth.

 

How to Clean a Leather Bean Bag

 

Leather bean bag chairs require regular cleaning to prevent dirt buildup. Start with a damp cloth or wet wipe, then use warm, soapy water for any stubborn marks. Ensure you dry the area thoroughly to avoid any water damage.

 

Cleaning Faux Suede Bean Bags

 

Faux suede bean bags are best cleaned using a light brushing technique. Use a suede eraser and a metallic suede brush, followed by lifting any stubborn marks with a slightly damp terry cloth. Employ a gentle blotting motion rather than scrubbing. Allow the faux suede to dry completely to assess if further cleaning is necessary.

 

Cleaning Delicate Fabrics like Chenille and Velvet

 

Luxury fabrics such as chenille bean bag chairs and velvet bean bag chairs require a more delicate approach. Start with a damp cloth with a bit of water. Make sure the cloth is damp (not soaking wet) and spot clean the area using a gentle dabbing or blotting motion to lift the dirt. Let the fabric dry completely to see if the cleaning was effective.

 

If water alone doesn’t clean the bean bag, add two drops of washing-up liquid to the water and gently blot the area again before allowing it to dry. Avoid using vigorous motions that could stretch or damage the material.
