Do microfiber and velvet need different cleaning methods?
No, we use the same hot-water extraction cleaning with an upholstery extractor for both. You can find the whole process on the sofa cleaning page.
Which fabric collects more dust and hair?
Velvet tends to hold hair and dust more easily, because its surface structure is more piled than microfiber. See also pet hair and odor.
Can velvet be cleaned yourself?
No, you must not poke or rub velvet yourself, because a wrong movement can damage the fabric. Read more in DIY vs professional.
Which fabric is more prone to stains?
Both behave quite similarly when it comes to stains. For a specific stain, read: coffee stains, wine stains.
