The upholstery of upholstered furniture often becomes dirty due to food, drinks or pet hair.

You can remove simple stains yourself.

How to properly clean upholstered furniture

First of all, look for a tag with a cleaning code on the furniture.

If there is no tag, then you need to test the reaction of the material to the cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area of the furniture.

Do not use too much water when cleaning as this may cause mold to form on the surface.

If you see a "W" code, you can use water-based solvents to clean your upholstery.

Code "S" means that anhydrous solvent can be used to remove contaminants.

When cleaning, ventilate the rooms well and avoid sources of open flame.

If you see the code "WS", water-based or solvent-based products can be used on furniture fabric.

Code "X" means that any detergent will not be suitable for cleaning stains.

In this case, use only dry cleaning - using a vacuum cleaner or dry cleaning from professionals.

Any type of cleaning product used on this type of furniture can cause stains on the surface and shrinkage of the fabric.
