0 / 6 done

Find the care tag under a cushion or beneath the sofa and note its material and W, S, WS or X code.
W indicates water-based upholstery cleaners only. Use a compatible product and avoid soaking the fabric.
S means water-free dry-cleaning solvent only. Do not use water; professional cleaning may be safest.
WS or SW permits appropriate water-based or solvent-based spot cleaning, but never saturate the upholstery.
X means vacuuming or light brushing only. Do not apply liquid cleaners or steam at will.
Blot fresh spills instead of rubbing. Even with a permitted method, spot-test in an inconspicuous area before treating a stain.
