Fabrics can be cleaned in various ways
depending on the type of fabric on your furniture.
1)
Look on the furniture label for some of the following
symbols or a symbol indicating type of cleaner to be used:
- WS– Water base
cleaning agents and foam may be used for cleaning. This fabric may also be
cleaned with mild, water-free dry cleaning solvents.
- W–Water based
cleaning agents or water-based foam may be used for cleaning.
- S–Only mild,
pure, water-free dry cleaning solvents may be used for cleaning this
fabric.
- X– This fabric
should be vacuumed or brushed lightly to remove soil. WARNING: Do not use
foam or liquid cleaning agents of any type.
- V–This fabric
should be washed with warm water and mild soap. WARNING: Do not use
cleaners or liquid cleaning agents of any type.
2)
Important! Whichever solution is recommended, always
keep in mind that you always want to test
any solution in an inconspicuous area.
This will avoid any staining in a visible spot.
3)
Before
cleaning, it’s best to vacuum your furniture, being sure to get between
cushions and in crevices to avoid rubbing in further dirt.
4)
Apply
the recommended solution with a clean soft rag or microfiber towel and gently
blot the treated area.
5)
Allow
the furniture to air dry or follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Always check this before you beginning
cleaning.
Depending on the use in your home will determine the
frequency of the cleaning.
No
two homes are identical so there can be no specific amount of times to clean
your furniture. A good rule of thumb
perhaps, may be with daylight saving time change. See how that works for you and your family.
By following manufacturers cleaning
recommendations and their instructions, you too can perhaps keep your furniture
looking as new as possible!
