Check the fabric care code
Look for the furniture maker's care label and identify whether the item permits water-based, solvent-based or vacuum-only care. Treat different fabrics, leather, linings and cushions separately. If instructions are unavailable, contact the manufacturer or an upholstery specialist before wet cleaning.
Maintain upholstery between deep cleans
Vacuum with an attachment suited to the fabric and lower suction if the maker advises. Remove loose debris carefully, keep food and drinks away from vulnerable areas and rotate cushions only if their construction permits.
Handle spills without untested mixtures
Blot a fresh spill with a clean cloth only if the care code allows it. Do not spray vinegar, lemon, alcohol, detergent or baking-soda mixtures without confirming compatibility. Avoid rubbing, oversaturating or adding a second product over an unknown treatment.
Know when professional assessment helps
Stains, odours, dye transfer, delicate textiles, sun damage and previous chemical treatment may need expert assessment. Share photos, care information, dimensions and prior products when requesting a quote. Results cannot be guaranteed.
