McGee & Co. Fabric Care Guide
We thoughtfully source high-quality textiles to bring beauty and comfort into your home. To keep your pieces looking their best, follow these care tips based on fabric type and usage.
General Care Tips
Vacuum or brush upholstery monthly to remove dust and debris.
Rotate cushions and pillows regularly to maintain shape and wear evenly.
Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Spot Cleaning & Stain Removal
Check your item’s cleaning code (W, S, or WS) before using any cleaning solution.
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth—don’t rub.
Test cleaning products on a hidden area before applying more broadly.
Fabric Types & How to Care for Them
Linen & Cotton
Spot clean with mild soap and water.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.
May wrinkle naturally—steaming is recommended over ironing.
Performance Fabrics
Designed to resist stains and spills—perfect for high-use areas.
Use water-based cleaners or mild soap solutions for everyday messes.
Avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
Velvet
Gently brush or vacuum in the direction of the nap.
Avoid crushing by rotating cushions regularly.
Spot clean carefully; professional cleaning is best for deep stains.
Leather
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth regularly.
Condition every 6–12 months with leather-safe conditioner.
Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
Slipcovers & Washable Items
Always follow the care label instructions.
Wash slipcovers in cold water on a gentle cycle.
Air-dry or tumble on low heat—never high heat.
Expect minor shrinkage after washing; reshaping while damp can help.
Professional Cleaning
For deep cleaning, dry-clean-only fabrics, or delicate items, we recommend using a reputable professional upholstery cleaner familiar with high-end textiles.
