Buyer’s Guide
IS CHENILLE FABRIC HARD WEARING?
Chenille is made from a variety of materials, from cotton to polyester, it’s very strong and durable. Also known as the caterpillar fabric it has a fuzzy feeling and appealing look. And yes it’s hard-wearing.
HOW DO YOU CLEAN A CHENILLE SOFA?
Depending on the care label of that chenille sofa the general use would be to use dye-free liquid soap or any laundry soap/detergent suitable for soft and delicate materials. Just add it to water and use it to scrub, wipe or brush off stains. Take care not to use hard or tough tools as that could pull out the yarn.
IS CHENILLE GOOD FOR PETS?
Chenille is strong, soft, and durable that tends to hide dirt quite well. However, the piled fabric can easily get caught in a pet’s claws. Unlike humans, some pets don’t reason well and will just pull with the material on their claws leading to a tear in the fabric. So though cozy and fuzzy enough for your pet to be comfortable it’s best to avoid such in all cases.
IS CHENILLE MICROFIBER?
Though they may have some similarities in that they are both durable enough to use as upholstery. They do have slight differences. Microfibers are soft smooth but unlike Chenille they will repel liquids. Chenille, on the other hand, is more likely to hold and absorb a stain. Though both are soft to touch, unlike microfiber, chenille fabric is bunched and has a pile so will most likely be more luxurious.
IS A CHENILLE SOFA A GOOD IDEA?
For a couch, Chenille fabric has many desirable qualities in that it is strong and durable. It’s also warm, soft, and fuzzy giving it a luxurious feel. To make it better because it is strong and durable, it is perfect for heavy use sofas so If you have a busy family, and you like to host gatherings meaning your sofas will always be in use, a Chenille sofa is the best way to go.
WHAT KIND OF FABRIC IS CHENILLE?
Chenille fabric is made from yarn and it has a raised tufted feel. It resembles a fuzzy feel with tufted fabrics raised from all angles. It can be made from silk, rayon wool, cotton, and other fabrics. But the way in which it’s woven makes it strong and durable hence perfect for heavily used sofas. With Chenille, it can be used on other things such as sweaters, jerseys, or basic embroidery for cushions and the likes.
IS CHENILLE THE SAME AS VELVET?
Chenille is extremely short and bunchy giving it that fluffy feel. Made from yarn and other bunchy fibers it’s often used to make sweaters. On the other hand, velvet is closely woven from silk and cotton and it has a short thick pile on the other hand.
Final Thoughts
I think I need to visit one of these stores and get myself a Chenille couch ASAP!! It’s like investing in a lifetime of style and comfort. I definitely wouldn’t mind and I know you wouldn’t as well. We are probably thinking the same thing right now, like who invented these things. How did they even come up with the idea or the name, wow? Human minds will always be a mystery to me.
Sadly, this is where we part ways, it was fun while it lasted but it’s now time to let you go and get that sofa on your own. I can’t tell you which sofa to get obviously, I already have a few ideas of what I’m getting for myself. I’m sure or at least I hope you have an idea of what you’re getting. I wish you the best, and may that “heavy use” sofa be used heavily for sure. HAPPY SHOPPING!!!
