Caring for your tapestry

Tapestries are designed to be lived with and require very little maintenance to preserve their beauty over time, but a few simple practices will keep your heirloom-quality piece looking its best for years to come.

Dusting

Gently dust with a soft brush or vacuum using a clean upholstery attachment on low suction. Work from top to bottom and avoid harsh agitation.

Spot Cleaning

Blot spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Use a mild detergent only if needed and always test a small, hidden area first.

Creases + Wrinkles

Lightly press the back with a steam iron on medium heat using a protective cloth. Avoid direct moisture, which can stretch the fibers.

Storage

Roll, do not fold, using acid-free tissue or muslin. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space.
