Do any of these 4 crypton fabrics work?
Comments (6)I've never experience Crypton on furniture, only dog beds. You do realize the fabrics do not breathe, so built in breathing holes need to be installed or else you'll be trying to sit on puffy cushions. The dog begs DD2 purchased did not have air vents, and became very puffy. She had to leave unzipped a bit for the dogs to get on them - especially her tripod dog, who ended up inside the bed and they all eventually were eaten by another dog....See MoreCrypton fabric stain and fading
Comments (0)We have a new sofa upholstered in crypton home fabric. The salesperson sold me this sofa by promising the fabric could Be cleaned and didn’t stain easily. I’ve had the sofa for a little over a month and my son got a small amount of chocolate in it. We don’t eat on the sofa but apparently he had some chocolate on his body somewhere and we didn’t realize it (he is only 6). I tried to spot clean the sofa following the directions for the fabric that the company provided. Not only did the stain not come out fully, but the fabric appears to have faded slightly where I was spot cleaning. I followed the directions exactly. Now there is a noticeable stain with a white ring around it. I’m just sick about this. Has anyone else had issues with Crypton Home fabric? I’m more upset with the fading than the chocolate stain because I feel like the stain might come out if I get it professionally cleaned. However I am afraid the fabric might have faded permanently. Any ideas on what i should do?...See MoreBrand new sofa stained - crypton fabric - help!
Comments (18)Omigosh @jhouse I didn't see your comment 2 years ago and just got notice of this thread being revived and saw it. I am completely in love with my Crypton. No pills, spills and stains (tho I am careful) are easy to remove with a damp cloth and some dish soap. I wrote about what I bought in the previous comment, but I guess I didn't link to the actual fabric. I'm sure it's too late for you but maybe someone else can use the info B5605 Parchment the herringbone is very small and barely noticeable as a pattern. https://www.greenhousefabrics.com/fabrics/category/crypton_fabrics I think the pilling problem might be caused by the blend of the fibers. This is mostly rayon, which is very soft to touch and doesn't pill. I can imagine if you selected a blend with mostly poly or acrylic, pilling could be a problem. It also has a 63,000 double rub durability, which also might affect the pilling, not sure. It's also USA made and is water cleanable. I imagine if you got one that is NOT water cleanable and used water on it, that could affect it also. This fabric has no pills at all, even when I've rubbed it removing a stain. Even that doesn't affect the appearance of the fabric....See Morewill a fabric with strong directional lines look wrong on sofa?
Comments (1)no, it will not look odd. Any fabric with a Texture, tone on tone, rather than a Pattern with varying colors will grow with you, just keep it mid tone. too dark is just too dark for a large piece of furniture you don't want to dominate the room. I think you're on the right track, good luck!...See MoreNVoneAcre
