Doesn't a fabric sofa lose its water-repellent function if it is washed multiple times while in use?
I worry that washing the sofa cover frequently will wear off the water-repellent coating and make it vulnerable to stains, leading me to think carefully about how to care for it.
The brand explains that rather than just coating the fabric surface, a processing technique is applied to the entire fiber so that water repellency is maintained even after multiple washes.
Typical water-repellent fabrics often simply coat the surface with a water repellent, so friction or repeated water washing wears down the coating film and gradually decreases water repellency.
The ALTA Laredo fabric used in BY HEYDEY's Weekend Sofa applies the Alta Residential technique across the entire fabric instead of spraying a water repellent on the surface[1]. BY HEYDEY explains that because the treatment penetrates the entire fiber, water repellency is maintained even through repeated washings[2]. The brand states that the water-repellent function lasts until the end of the fabric's lifespan[3] — test data according to washing conditions was not confirmed in publicly available materials.
The specific recommended washing temperature or detergent type for fabrics treated with Alta Residential processing has not yet been confirmed.
