What is Performance?

We have found this question very confusing and hard to answer because “Performance” when talking about fabrics has several meanings. We have broken it down below to help people better understand our fabrics.

A Performance Finish:

All of our fabrics with a performance finish have C0. This performance finish is free of PFA’a and much safer then finished previously offered. C0 repels water based stains, which gives you time to clean up the spill before it absorbs into the fabric. If you are buying a washable fabric with C0, it will start wearing off after 10 washes.

A Washable Fabric:

The Coley Home line offers a variety of fabrics that can be easily washed and cleaned. In our minds, this is the ultimate performance fabric and also a very safe, chemical-free approach. Please note: if you are washing your slipcovers in a machine, please follow the instructions on our Care Guide. The safest route is always to take it to the dry cleaner.

A Heavy Duty Commercial Fabric:

At Coley Home, we are always on the lookout for heavy duty fabrics that will stand up well to dogs and children. We know we have a large customer base in a very busy and messy phase of life. These fabrics meet commercial double rub, pilling, and color fastness standards. These fabrics do not have a performance finish but are very very durable, easily spot-cleanable, and if you are careful, even washable.
