As with a classic piece of furniture (e.g. sofa or armchair), we recommend avoiding sharp objects on your Pouf and, of course, sitting / lying on it while wearing high heels. If ink, paint, or any chemical spills on the Pouf, it may not be removable. Place faux leather away from high temperatures (e.g. fireplace) so that it does not melt. And straw should not come into contact with chlorine.
