The cloth decides the pass.

Linen

Drinks water and shows a ring if you overwet it. The pass stays light, and the dry soil does the real work on beach sand.

Dry to the touch · 2–3 h · Code W, usually

Velvet

Cotton velvet bruises if you scrub against the pile. We extract with the nap and groom before it dries.

Dry · 3–5 h · Crush marks can remain from sitting, not from the wand

Bouclé

Loops trap sand. The work is slow, with a soft brush. An aggressive groom pulls the loop.

Common on new chairs in the towers

Cotton

Durable, and willing to shrink or watermark if it is soaked. We do not soak it. Loose cotton covers that can be unzipped are still cleaned in place unless you ask for a laundry quote.

Dry · 2–4 h

Wool

Dry soil first, low heat, a seam test. A lot of “wool” sofas here are blends. The label, not the showroom name, decides the heat.

We stop if the seam test moves dye

The swatch set

Linen, wool, bouclé, velvet, outdoor weave, cotton. If your cloth is not on this list, send a photo of the label and of the arm.

Microfibre

Releases household soil well. Over-extraction can leave a sheen, so the last pass is a rinse and a light groom, not a second scrub.

Very common in family flats

Balcony olefin

Outdoor sofas along the coast grow a musty foam long before the cloth looks dirty. We clean the cover and tell you honestly if the cushion insert is the smell.

Quote changes if the insert is sour

Leather

Surface clean only. No extraction into the hide. Aniline and cracked leather are often a no — we would rather refuse than strip the finish. Conditioning is available when the hide can take it.

Three-seat surface clean · ₪540

Performance cloth

Impala and other stain-repellent weaves bead if you rush. They need a dwell, then extraction. The menu adds ₪40 on those pieces because the clock does.
