Togo Care Guide
Two materials, two routines. A few minutes a week keeps your Togo looking and feeling like the day it arrived.
Start here
The five-minute version.
- 01Fabric and leather need different routines. Pick your cover further down the page.
- 02Vacuum or dust weekly, keep the piece out of direct sunlight, and stay well away from heat sources.
- 03Blot spills the moment they happen. The first sixty seconds decide the outcome.
- 04No bleach, alcohol, baby wipes, or "all-purpose" cleaners on either cover.
- 05Unsure about a stain? Email [email protected] before trying a home remedy.
Your cover
Which one do you have?
Every Togo we build ships in one of two cover families, and each wants a different routine. Not sure which one you own? The cover is listed on every piece in the Togo sofa collections.
Soft, breathable, and surprisingly forgiving
Togo fabric covers are woven for daily living. A light weekly routine keeps the pile even, the color rich, and the cushions plump for years.
The routine
- Weekly
Vacuum gently
Use a soft upholstery brush attachment on low suction. Move with the weave, not against it, and pay extra attention to the seam channels where dust settles.
- Weekly
Rotate the cushions
Flip and swap the seat and back cushions. Even wear keeps the Togo wrinkles uniform across the piece instead of forming a permanent dent where you always sit.
- Monthly
Fluff and reshape
Hand-pat the cushions back into their pleated shape. The Togo is meant to look lived-in, but a quick reshape brings the volume back after heavy weekends.
- Yearly
Deep clean
Book a professional upholstery clean once a year and ask for a pH-neutral, low-moisture method. Avoid steam cleaning, because heat and water can shrink the cover.
Spot cleaning
| Stain | What to do |
|---|---|
| Water, coffee, tea | Blot immediately with a dry microfibre cloth, then dab with lukewarm water. Never rub, because that spreads the ring. |
| Red wine | Blot, then sprinkle baking soda over the spot for 10 minutes to lift the pigment. Vacuum, then blot with cool water. |
| Oil, grease | Cover with cornstarch or talc for 30 minutes to absorb. Brush off, then spot clean with a pH-neutral fabric cleaner. |
| Ink, makeup | Stop and call us. These need solvent-based treatment that a home attempt can ruin, so email [email protected] first. |
Never do this
- Bleach, ammonia, or any solvent labeled "do not use on fabric"
- Steam cleaners and carpet shampooers, which bring too much heat and moisture
- Direct sunlight for more than 4 hours a day, which fades the dye
- Heat sources within 30 cm, including radiators, fireplaces and hot air vents
- Sitting on the piece in damp clothes such as swimwear or a gym kit
Warranty
Care keeps your cover covered.
Following this guide is not only cosmetic. It is also how you keep the 5-year limited warranty in good standing, since damage from improper cleaning agents or unsuitable conditions sits outside coverage.
Read the warrantyWhen in doubt
Ask before you scrub.
Some stains need expert eyes before you reach for a cleaner. With ink, dye transfer, or an unknown spill, pause and send [email protected] a clear photo. Faster than guessing, and far cheaper than a botched home fix.
