Check the stuffi ng material if possible
Look inside the cushions or on the underneath side. If fi lling
is a dark color, it may bleed through and discolor the fabric.
Most stuffi ng material that is white to light yellow is colorfast
and will not bleed colors through to the fabric covering.
Test clean a hidden area
Be sure to test clean a hidden area several hours before
starting to clean. Let the test area dry completely. Inspect
for changes in color, bleeding, stretching, or shrinking. Test
another area if in doubt.
Pretest for Color Fastness
Before cleaning the upholstery, we recommend testing it
for color fastness. Moisten a white towel with the cleaning
solution. Test a small area of the cushion back. Gently rub
the cloth over the area. Check each area for color bleeding.
If the towel does not pick up any color, it should be safe to
use the cleaning solution on the entire area.
Vacuum Upholstery or Stairs
Vacuum upholstery and stairs with a vacuum cleanerʼs
attachment tool. Use a crevice tool for hard to reach areas
such as tufts and corners.
IMPORTANT: Cleaning some upholstery fabrics
with a wet cleaning solution may
damage the fabric. Know what the
fabric content is and how to clean it
before using a cleaning solution on
upholstery fabrics.
Most manufacturers care code their fabrics with cleaning
methods. Some very delicate and unusual fabrics are DRY
CLEAN ONLY. If in doubt of the fabric type, call a dealer or
take a cushion or arm cover to a dealer for advice.
