Check the cushion and cover care labels
Determine whether the cover is removable and what cleaning code or method the manufacturer permits. Cushion inserts, zips, piping, backing and decorative trim may have different instructions. Do not assume a removable cover is machine-washable.
Remove dry soil with a suitable attachment
Vacuum gently with a clean upholstery attachment if permitted. Reach seams and folds without pulling at loose threads, buttons or trim. Keep moisture away from reclining controls, charging points and other electrical parts.
Spot-clean only with compatible products
Blot fresh spills without rubbing. Use only a product and method listed for that fabric code; test discreetly as directed and use minimal moisture. Avoid steam, baking-soda paste, vinegar, bleach and solvent unless the furniture maker approves that exact use.
Ask a specialist about difficult cushions
Dye transfer, large stains, persistent odour, delicate fabric or previous treatments may require upholstery expertise. Share the fabric, condition, stain and access for a quote. No cleaning method can guarantee stain removal or restore worn material.
