-
Dried surface stains should be carefully scraped off. Spilt liquids should be absorbed immediately
by using a piece of kitchen towel. Alternatively,
you can place the affected area under running lukewarm water for a moment. Hand wash using a soft towel or sponge with mild detergent and lukewarm water. - Notes
- Treated with dirt-repellent, as a result of which liquid is not absorbed into the fibre but remains as droplets on the surface. The treatment will last for about 2-3 washes, after which it can be renewed.

Designer

Together with Minna Ahokas, Puotila has also designed the Cool cushion, a versatile cushion that can turn from seat to ottoman and can also be used as a table. Puotila has received several important design awards worldwide for her products and for her career, including the Kaj Franck Design Prize, Finland Prize, Good Design Award and Red Dot Design Award. In 2001, she was selected as the Textile Artist of the Year.
