Bouclé has become one of the most popular upholstery fabrics in modern interior design. Its soft texture, elegant appearance and luxurious feel make it a favourite choice for sofas, lounge chairs and designer furniture. Like every premium upholstery material, bouclé benefits from proper care to preserve its beauty and extend its lifespan. At Furniture Upholstery, we regularly restore and reupholster furniture covered in bouclé fabric for customers across Amsterdam, Haarlem, Amstelveen, Diemen, Weesp, Muiden, Leiden, Utrecht, The Hague, Rotterdam and many surrounding towns and villages.
Why bouclé requires special attention
Bouclé is characterised by its distinctive looped yarns that create a rich, textured surface. This unique construction gives the fabric its luxurious appearance but also means that proper maintenance is essential. Regular care helps prevent dirt from becoming embedded within the textured weave and keeps the upholstery looking fresh for much longer.
With the right maintenance routine, bouclé can remain attractive and comfortable for many years, even in frequently used living spaces.
Regular cleaning keeps the fabric looking fresh
Dust and loose particles should be removed regularly using a vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft upholstery attachment. Gentle vacuuming prevents dirt from settling deep into the fibres while avoiding unnecessary stress on the looped texture. If small spills occur, they should be blotted immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth instead of rubbing the fabric, which may damage the surface.

Prevent unnecessary wear
Although bouclé is a durable upholstery fabric, rotating cushions regularly helps distribute everyday wear more evenly. Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight for extended periods, as prolonged UV exposure may gradually affect colour intensity. It is also advisable to keep sharp objects, pet claws and rough clothing accessories away from the upholstery to reduce the risk of snagging individual loops.
Simple preventative care can significantly increase the lifespan of your upholstered furniture while maintaining its original appearance.
Professional cleaning and restoration
If your bouclé furniture has accumulated stubborn stains or has simply lost its fresh appearance after years of use, professional cleaning or reupholstery may be the best solution. Our specialists assess the condition of the upholstery and recommend the most appropriate treatment. If necessary, worn foam, webbing or internal support can also be renewed during the restoration process.
