Quick answer: Clean fabric acoustic panels by vacuuming them gently with a soft brush head every 2 to 3 months. For small marks, dab with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it dry. Never soak a panel, scrub hard or paint over the fabric. Painting blocks the sound from getting in.
Key takeaways
- Vacuum with a soft brush every 2 to 3 months.
- Dab small marks with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Never soak, scrub hard or paint the fabric.
Why panels need cleaning
Dust settles on any surface, and in Singapore it builds up fast near open windows and busy roads. Kitchens add grease in the air. A light clean keeps the colour bright and the room fresh.
Step 1: vacuum
Use a vacuum with a soft brush head on low power. Work from top to bottom. Do not press hard. This removes most dust in a few seconds per panel.

Step 2: spot-clean marks
Mix a little mild soap in water. Dampen a clean white cloth, squeeze it well, and dab the mark. Do not rub in circles; it can fuzz the fabric. Test on a hidden corner first.
Step 3: let it dry
Leave the room air moving with aircon or a fan. Do not use a hair dryer up close, as heat can mark the fabric. A small damp spot dries in an hour or two.
What never to do
Do not soak the panel, spray cleaner straight on it, use bleach, or paint over it. Paint fills the fabric so sound cannot get in, and the panel stops working. Water can also stain the fabric.
Panels near kitchens
In restaurants, keep panels away from grease, steam, heat and open flames. Vacuum them more often, about once a month. Grease marks are hard to lift, so placement matters more than cleaning. See acoustic treatment for restaurants.
A simple schedule
Homes and offices: vacuum every 2 to 3 months. Restaurants and cafés: monthly, more often near the kitchen. Schools: once a term, plus spot-cleaning when needed. Add panels to your normal cleaning list so it is not forgotten.
When to replace a panel
If a panel is torn, badly stained or water-damaged, we can re-cover it in new fabric or replace that one panel. Keep a note of your colour so the new one matches. Keep panels away from water, steam and grease to make them last.
What we see on real jobs
Panels in normal rooms need little care. Panels near busy roads or kitchens just need a quick vacuum with the rest of the room.
