How to Clean Your KNIT Series Pendant Lights

Quick answer

Clean your KNIT series fabric pendant light using a soft brush or vacuum with a low-suction upholstery attachment for routine dusting, and spot-clean only with a dry or barely damp cloth — never soak the fabric or use harsh cleaners.

Step-by-step care routine for your KNIT pendant light

1. Dust weekly with a soft brush or vacuum: Use a dry, clean paintbrush or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment on low suction. Gently brush or hover over the fabric surface in one direction to lift loose dust. Common mistake: pressing too hard or using a stiff brush, which can pill or snag the knit fibers.
2. Spot-clean stains with a barely damp cloth: Dampen a white microfiber cloth with water (wring it thoroughly so it's only slightly moist) and dab the stain gently — do not rub. Work from the outer edge of the stain inward. Common mistake: using soap, bleach, or spray cleaners, which can leave residue, discolor the fabric, or ruin its texture. If the stain persists, stop and consult a professional dry cleaner — never soak or machine-wash the fabric.
3. Dust the wood elements separately with a dry cloth: Wipe the visible wood portions with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using furniture polish or water near the joints where wood meets fabric. Common mistake: assuming a multi-purpose cleaner is safe for both materials, which can damage the knit or leave oils on the wood finish. Check the wood for any moisture or dust buildup quarterly, especially around finials and brackets.
