Dry-clean only. Vacuum to remove surface dust. Use caution with linen sprays, which may cause fabric discolouration or staining. Avoid rubbing fabric, especially short-fibre fabrics like cotton, to prevent abrasion and pilling. Exercise extreme caution when using waterproof or stain-proof sprays, especially on non-washable fabrics like velvet. Always patch test first for colour fastness. Prevent fading by avoiding extended sun exposure. The Australian climate can be tough on fabrics..
