The 5-Minute Guide to Cleaning & Caring for Your DFI Fabric Bed Frame

The 5-Minute Guide to Cleaning & Caring for Your DFI Fabric Bed Frame

In this quick and practical guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to clean and care for your DFI fabric bed frame in under 5 minutes. Whether you’re dealing with dust, spills, or just want to keep things fresh, these tips will help you protect your investment and extend its life.

Dusting: Your First Line of Defense

Fabric, by nature, clings to dust, lint, pet hair, and whatever microscopic particles are floating around in your room. especially along corners, edges, and seams where it tends to settle and quietly build up over time. It doesn’t matter how luxe your frame is or how clean your room feels, that dust is putting in work behind the scenes.

Quick Tip:

  • Use a lint roller or vacuum with upholstery attachment once a week

  • Focus on crevices, tufts, and the bottom edge where dust gathers

  • Spritzing a fabric refresher spray post-vacuuming adds a clean, hotel-fresh scent.

Spot Cleaning Stains

Act Fast for the Best Results

The sooner you treat a stain, the easier it is to remove. Whether it’s coffee, makeup, or an accidental splash of wine, quick action is key.

How to Do It:

  • Blot (don’t rub!) the stain gently with a clean cloth

  • Mix a solution of mild dish soap + warm water

  • Dip a microfiber cloth into the solution and gently dab the area

  • Let it air dry naturally

What to Avoid:

  • Harsh chemicals or bleach

  • Over-saturating the fabric

Deep Cleaning (Once Every 3 Months)

Ok, so you’ve been good about dusting, gold star for that. But even the most loyal lint-roller soldier needs to get serious. Enter: your quarterly deep clean. Not every week, not even every month, but once per season, it’s time to show your frame some serious love.

Your bed frame deals with a lot. dust, body oils, pet fur, late-night snack crumbs (no judgment), and whatever else floats through your room like it's trying to move in rent-free. Over time, that grime starts to settle into the fabric and around the frame. And if you’re only doing surface-level cleaning? it just… stays there.

So every 3 months, block off an hour, cue up a playlist, and go in. Here’s what you need to do:

Vacuum The Entire Frame
Grab that upholstery attachment and really get into it. We’re talking headboard, footboard, side rails, corners, seams, all of it. Move your mattress if you have to. It’s dramatic, yes, but you’ll be disgusted (and impressed) by what comes out.

Wipe Down The Legs
If your bed has wooden or metal legs, give them a proper wipe with a damp cloth (nothing soaking wet. your floors don’t need drama). polish them up if you're feeling extra. Little details go a long way.

— Steam Clean The Fabric (Optional)
Got stubborn spots or just want that hotel-level clean feeling? Bring in a fabric-safe steam cleaner.

Always test a small hidden patch first, just in case your bed’s fabric has trust issues. This step lifts dirt and bacteria without soaking the fabric, which is key.

Pro Tip: Fabric Protector Spray 

After everything’s clean and dry, consider applying a fabric protector spray. It helps block stains and spills from setting in the future. especially clutch if you’ve got pets, kids, or a tendency to eat in bed

A quarterly clean might sound extra, but it keeps your bed frame looking sharp, extends its life, and makes your whole space feel fresh and elevated.


Plus, there’s nothing like crawling into bed at night knowing it’s actually clean, top to bottom. You deserve that energy.

Daily Habits That Protect Your Frame

Small habits, big results:

  • Keep pets off the frame to avoid fur buildup and claw marks

  • Rotate and fluff pillows and headboard cushions regularly

  • Avoid leaning damp clothing or towels on the fabric

Keep It Styled and Elevated

Clean = Classy

A clean fabric bed isn’t just hygienic, it also looks and feels more luxurious. Pair your spotless bed frame with:

  • Fresh bedding in complementary colors

  • Decorative cushions for texture and tone

  • Minimal dust catchers like faux plants or sleek nightstands
