Sail fabric care instructions
Washing fabric ceiling sails – what to consider
The fabric ceiling sails from Veroca and SL are durable and easy to maintain, but a few important care instructions should be followed to ensure the material remains beautiful for many years. With the right washing and ironing method, the sail fabric stays clean, smooth and visually appealing.
The sail fabric can be washed conveniently in the washing machine. Use a mild detergent and select a gentle washing cycle at 30–40 °C. After washing, the fabric should be shaken out and kept slightly damp so that it can be ironed effectively.
- washable at 30–40 °C with standard detergent- do not use ironing spray
- iron only while damp and with plenty of steam
- use medium heat only – the fabric is permanently flame-retardant and may shrink if overheated
- do not bleach
Ironing sail fabric – important notes
To restore the elegant, smooth look of the light sail fabric after washing, iron it while it is still damp. Use plenty of steam and a medium heat setting. Avoid excessive heat: the sail fabric is made from a permanently flame-retardant material and may shrink if overheated.
- iron only while damp- use plenty of steam to smooth the fabric
- set medium temperature
- avoid high heat – the material could shrink
Material properties of sail fabrics
The sail fabric is made from a permanently flame-retardant material. Permanently flame-retardant fabrics are produced from a chemically modified yarn, where the flame resistance is already integrated into the fibre itself. This means the sail fabric can be washed repeatedly without losing its permanent flame-retardant properties.
The material meets the DIN 4120 B1 standard and is therefore suitable not only for private homes, but also for public buildings, offices, medical clinics and waiting rooms. Stains can be removed easily, and the fabric maintains its shape, quality and even light distribution – whether the ceiling sail is small or part of a larger architectural lighting design.
