Upholstery Cleaning: Fabric Care Guide
Your upholstered furniture is a major investment and a centerpiece of your living space. Regular cleaning not only keeps it looking great but also extends its life by removing abrasive dust and dirt. However, not all fabrics are the same. The key to safe and effective upholstery cleaning is to first identify your fabric type by checking its cleaning code.
🏷️ Understanding the Cleaning Codes
Look for a tag on your furniture (usually under a cushion) with one of these letter codes. This code tells you what type of cleaning agent is safe to use.
🧽 General Upholstery Care and Spot Cleaning
For all fabric types, regular maintenance is key.
When in doubt, always err on the side of caution. Using the wrong cleaner on a delicate fabric can cause permanent damage, like water rings or color bleeding.
