S: Furniture marked with an “S” cleaning code should be cleaned using only solvent-based cleaners.
Dry Clean Only: Upholstery marked as “S” should be cleaned with a solvent-based cleaner. Use a dry-cleaning solvent designed for home use to avoid color loss or water rings.
Spot Cleaning: For small spills, gently blot (do not rub) the area with a clean, dry cloth. Use a solvent-based cleaner and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Avoid Water-Based Cleaners: Water can cause damage to fabrics that are designated as “dry clean only.” Stick to solvent-based cleaners to prevent water rings and fabric damage.
Protect from Direct Sunlight: Just like with other furniture, avoid exposing your upholstered items to direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration over time.
Vacuum Regularly: Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum your upholstery regularly and keep it free of dust and debris.
By following these care tips, you’ll help maintain the quality and appearance of your upholstery for years to come.
