Black Chenille Upholstery Fabric by the Yard - Water Cleanable Luxury

Our review of this black chenille upholstery fabric by the yard finds it best suited to anyone reupholstering furniture who needs a durable, easycare textile. The single biggest reason to buy is the builtin Aquaclean technology that lets stains be lifted with water, making it a practical choice for homes with pets or heavy use. The fabric feels soft yet substantial and is woven for contract quality durability, so it performs well for sofas, dining chairs, barstools and light commercial use.

Key Features

• Water cleanable fibers: Aquaclean nano technology is built into the fibers so spills and many stains can be lifted with just water rather than harsh cleaners.
• Stain resistant: A molecular barrier around each fiber prevents dirt penetration and helps keep upholstery looking fresh between cleanings.
• Contract quality durability: Woven as a mediumweight polyester blend designed for high traffic, it stands up to frequent use in homes or commercial settings.
• Soft chenille texture: The fabric is breathable and pleasant to the touch while retaining enough strength for furniture recovering projects.
• Pet friendly: Described as cat scratch resistant and easy to clean, it is suitable for households with pets where accidents are more likely.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for homeowners and small business owners who want a luxury look without high maintenance; people recovering sofas, chairs, barstools or cushions will appreciate the ease of water cleaning and the fabric's durability. DIY furniture restorers who want a soft chenille finish that can still resist everyday wear will find this material useful.

It is less suitable for projects that require natural fibers or a very lightweight drapey material; anyone needing a delicate or highly breathable textile for clothing should look elsewhere. Also, buyers who cannot order a sample first should be cautious, as color and hand feel are important to confirm before yardage purchase.
