Keeping Your Tartan Footstool Looking Great

Unboxing Your New Footstool

When your tartan footstool arrives, take your time unwrapping it. It’s tempting to tear through the packaging, but sharp tools like scissors or knives can easily snag or damage the fabric. Once it’s out of the box, let it settle. If the fabric looks a little creased from the journey, don’t worry, it’ll smooth itself out naturally with time.

Finding The Best Spot For It

Your footstool should fit nicely into your space, but it also needs to be in the right place to stay in good shape. Try to keep it away from direct sunlight, as too much exposure can make the colours fade over time. It’s also best to avoid placing it too close to radiators or fireplaces, as excessive heat can weaken the fabric and padding over time.

Cleaning Up Life’s Little Spills

If you accidentally spill something on your footstool, don’t panic. Use a clean, dry cloth to gently blot the liquid before it has a chance to soak in. Try to avoid scrubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fabric. For stubborn marks, a gentle fabric cleaner or upholstery shampoo should do the trick. Always test any cleaner on a hidden spot first to make sure it doesn’t affect the colours.

Keeping It Comfortable And Sturdy

Your footstool is made for resting your feet, not for standing on. Jumping, sitting, or putting too much weight on it can cause the cushion to flatten or put strain on the frame. If it starts to feel a little misshapen, giving it a light fluff or pat can help keep it feeling comfortable and supportive.

Keeping It Fresh Over Time

Tartan fabric naturally collects dust and lint, so a quick once-over with a lint roller or a vacuum with an upholstery attachment will keep it looking fresh. If it starts to look a little dull over time, a professional fabric cleaning service can help bring it back to life without damaging the material.

With a little care, your tartan footstool will stay a stylish and comfy addition to your home for years to come.
