Houndstooth

Houndstooth is a classic textile pattern characterized by a distinctive two-tone or multi-tone checkered design. Typically, it consists of a broken check or abstract four-pointed shapes resembling the teeth of a hound, hence the name. The pattern is often seen in black and white, but it can also come in various colour combinations. At Austex, we have created our own houndstooth collection featuring a soft pink, sage, and blue, alongside traditional dark shades. This collection offers a modern twist on the timeless pattern, providing versatility and sophistication for any space.

care & maintenance

Regular maintenance – Vacuum fabric regularly to remove crumbs, dust and dirt to avoid build up.
Spills – Soak up spills as quickly as possible using dry absorbent cloth.
Stains – Most stains can be cleaned using a damp cloth. For persistent stains use a warm soapy
water solution. Moderate scrubbing with a soft bristle brush and soapy solution will help loosen
soiling from the fabric surface. It is very important to remove all soap residue with clean water.
Fusion can also be cleaned with a bleach solution (1 part bleach 10 parts water) rinse all residue.
Do not use solvent based cleaners. Failure to follow cleaning instructions may permanently stain
and reduce the life of the fabric.
