Cushion Care Guide

K-Squared Cushions having been lovingly made using up-cycled Kimono and Obi and are a luxurious addition to your home. The fabric content of the covers is mixed but most commonly silk or polyester (vegan range), some will have metallic threads or embroidery. Backing and accent fabrics are mostly cotton velvet or silk. Due to the delicate nature of the Kimono and Obi they do require some special care. Here are some easy tips you can follow to prolong their life and keep them looking their best;

1. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Fabrics and dyes are sensitive to sunlight, which can cause fading and degrade the fibres.

2. Keep Dry: Kimono and Obi are not designed to be washed. You may find some are not colour fast and colours may transfer onto other fabrics (be careful of spills and sweaty backs).

3. Dry clean only: The Covers are mixed fibres and should be dry cleaned only. Do not attempt to wash them in a washing machine or by hand, as this can damage the delicate fabric.

4. Spot Clean Stains: If you do happen to spill something on your cushion, spot clean the stain immediately by dabbing with a cloth. Do not rub the fabric, as this can cause the stain to spread and can damage the fabric.

5. Handle with care: Some fabrics can be delicate, so handle your cushions with care. Avoid pulling or tugging on the fabric, as this can cause damage. They are not designed to be sat on as floor cushions, taken outside or used by children or pets (or used for pillow fights).

6. Avoid Sharp Objects: such as pets claws as they can snag or tear the fabric.

7. Store properly: When not in use, store your cushions in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or crushing the cushions, as this can cause creases and damage to the fabric.

Inserts

If you have bought a cushion filler/insert from me it will be made from sustainable natural Kapok and Tencel fabric.  

Plump up after use: by gently patting the sides to re-fluff and insert air to the filling. 

Dry Clean: To keep fresh and fluffy you can get the inserts dry cleaned.

Handle with care: They are not designed to be sat on as floor cushions, taken outside or used by children or pets (or used for pillow fights).
