C7 - Cleaning upholstery
and small areas
Important–Check upholstery tags.
1. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning.
A “W” or “WS” on the tag means you can
use your OXYPowerBrush. If the tag is coded
with an “X” or “S” (with a diagonal strike
through), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not
proceed. Do not use your OXYPowerBrush
on velvet, silk, 100% cotton upholstery, vinyl
or leather. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or
not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
2. Check for colourfastness in an
inconspicuous place.
3. If possible, check upholstery stuffing.
Coloured stuffing may bleed through fabric
when wet.
4. Plan activities to give upholstery time
to dry.
5. Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose
debris and pet hair. Use a vacuum with a
brush attachment and a crevice tool to
clean in fabric folds and tufts.
