Bouclé's looped texture is exactly what makes it feel special, and exactly what makes it slightly less forgiving than flat fabric.
What to Avoid
Sharp jewelry, pet claws, and rough friction can snag the loops on upholstered pieces like the Chibi Bouclé Stool. Direct sunlight over long periods can also fade the fabric unevenly.
What to Do Instead
Vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment rather than rubbing at spills, and blot rather than scrub if something spills. Rotate the piece occasionally if it sits in direct sun.
The Honest Verdict
Bouclé isn't high-maintenance, it just rewards gentle handling. Treat it like a good sweater rather than a hard-wearing sofa fabric, and it'll hold up well for years.
