Caring for Your Valance

Our box pleat and ruffle bed valances are tailored in the UK using carefully chosen fabrics that bring softness, structure and refined detail to the room. With simple care, they will retain their shape, drape and colour for many years.

Cleaning

• Dust regularly using a soft brush attachment to lift surface dust.

• Spot clean with a clean, lightly damp cloth and follow immediately with a dry one.

• Always blot rather than rub to protect the weave.

• Avoid abrasive cloths, harsh detergents or any products that may mark or distort the fabric.

• For a full clean, we recommend a professional laundry experienced with tailored bedding and natural textiles.

Everyday Care

• Straighten pleats or ruffles from time to time to maintain their shape.

• Allow good airflow around the bed to prevent moisture build up.

• Keep the valance away from prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve the colour and fabric integrity.

Placement

• Ensure the valance sits smoothly beneath the mattress, without tension at the corners.

• Check that the divan surface is clean and dry before fitting.

• For box pleat styles, adjust the pleats once the mattress is in place so they fall evenly.

• For ruffle styles, arrange the fabric gently to encourage a soft, natural drape.

Longevity Notes

Natural softening of the fabric may occur with time. This is part of the character of a well made textile piece.

If a loose thread appears, do not pull it. Trim with care or consult a professional.

For any repairs or alterations, we recommend using an experienced maker familiar with tailored soft furnishings.
