Frequently Asked Questions: 100% Polyester Velvet Sofa Fabric

Q1: What does 100% PL mean?
A: 100% PL is an abbreviation for 100% Polyester. This is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional durability, resistance to fading, and relatively easy maintenance, making it a very popular choice for upholstery fabrics.

Q2: Is this fabric soft and comfortable for a sofa?
A: Yes. This specific type of polyester fabric is "brushed," a process that raises the fibers to create an incredibly soft, plush velvet-like feel. It is designed to be both comfortable for daily use and durable enough to withstand it.

Q3: How do I clean and maintain this velvet fabric?
A: One of the key benefits of 100% polyester velvet is its ease of care. For daily maintenance, regular vacuuming with a brush attachment is recommended to remove dust and crumbs. Most spills can be blotted with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, you can typically use a mild upholstery cleaner. Always check the manufacturer's cleaning code label attached to the furniture for specific instructions.

Q4: Will the printed design fade or wear off quickly?
A: The print on this type of polyester fabric is generally quite colorfast and resistant to fading from sunlight due to the properties of synthetic dyes. However, to prolong the vibrancy of the colors, it is advisable to avoid placing the sofa in direct, intense sunlight for prolonged periods.

Q5: Is this fabric a good choice for households with pets or children?
A: Absolutely. 100% polyester is a strong and resilient material that resists pilling, stretching, and abrasion better than many natural fibers. Its brushed velvet texture is also less likely to show light scratches from pets compared to a smooth fabric. However, it's important to note that velvet can show impression marks (like when you sit on it), which is normal and can be easily brushed back to its original state.
