When cleaning chenille living room furniture, the most effective and safest way to preserve the material is by using solvent-based fabric cleaners. You should avoid cleaning these furniture types with water, as it can cause chenille furniture material to shrink.
To clean your chenille furniture, begin by using a soft-bristled upholstery brush, and gently brush in repetitive, small and circular motions. This forces any dirt, dust, or residue that has been ingrained in the material to rise through and form a layer on top of the furniture.
Then put your vacuum on the lowest setting and use the attachment to collect the dirt. For a final spot check, use your soft-bristled upholstery brush to collect any remaining particles.
