Beauty that lasts
Our home textiles are designed to withstand the rigours of everyday life. Nevertheless, there are a few things worth bearing in mind – that way, you’ll be able to enjoy them for even longer.
With Q2, stains are no longer a problem
Life is colourful, noisy and sometimes wonderfully chaotic. Children colour outside the lines, the dog jumps onto the sofa with dirty paws, a glass of red wine gets knocked over during a cosy evening in front of the telly, or a piece of chocolate melts onto the upholstery. With Q2, you can stay completely calm in moments like these.
Q2 fabrics are the perfect choice for families, pet lovers and, above all, allergy sufferers who no longer want to compromise between health and aesthetics.

Q2: How to look after your fabrics
Our Q2 quality seal guarantees the highest quality to customers worldwide. Rohleder Textiles have excellent care and cleaning properties – all without the use of chemical additives. In general, all stains (except those caused by solvent-based writing instruments) can be easily removed from Q2 fabrics. Try to remove stains immediately after they occur. To do this, use an absorbent cloth and dab the stain.
Removing solvent-based stains
Stains caused by solvent-based products such as nail varnish, lipstick, felt-tip pens, ballpoint pens or shoe polish can usually be effectively removed with acetone. It is important to proceed carefully and methodically to avoid damaging the fabric and prevent the dye from bleeding.
Step 1: Pinpoint the stain
To prevent the loosened dirt from spreading further, first carefully apply acetone around the edge of the stain. This ensures that the cleaning is confined to the affected area and effectively prevents the colour from bleeding.
Tip: It is best to wear gloves, as acetone can severely dry out the skin.
Step 2: Treat and remove the stain
Next, apply a few drops of acetone directly to the stain and carefully blot up the loosened dye with a clean, white, absorbent cloth or kitchen paper. Blot gently without rubbing to avoid damaging the fabric. For stubborn stains, it may help to leave the acetone to work for a short while before dabbing again. Work step by step until the stain becomes noticeably lighter.
Step 3: Repeat the process if necessary
After the first treatment, check carefully to see if any colour or dirt residue is still visible. With stubborn stains, it is normal for several passes to be required. Repeat the cleaning process until no colour changes or residue are visible. Take care to proceed gently and step by step so as not to put too much strain on the material. With each pass, the stain becomes lighter and the result more even, without any edges or unsightly patches forming.
Step 4: Remove any remaining residue
Apply a small amount of acetone to the area you have already cleaned to completely dissolve any remaining paint or dirt. Then remove this by dabbing gently with a clean, white cloth. Work carefully and without applying pressure to avoid damaging the material and to ensure an even cleaning result.
Step 5: Rinse thoroughly and leave to dry
Finally, rinse the treated area thoroughly with plenty of clean water to remove any remaining solvent residue. Ensure that no residue is left behind. Allow the surface to dry completely.
