B. Check the stuffing material if

possible

Look inside the cushions or on the underneath side. If filling

is a dark color, it may bleed through and discolor the fabric.

Most stuffing material that is white to light yellow is colorfast

and will not bleed colors through to the fabric covering.

C. Test clean a hidden area

Be sure to test clean a hidden area several hours before

starting to clean. Let the test area dry completely. Inspect

for changes in color, bleeding, stretching, or shrinking. Test

another area if in doubt.

D. Pretest for Color Fastness

Before cleaning the upholstery, we recommend testing it

for color fastness. Moisten a white towel with the cleaning

solution. Test a small area of the cushion back. Gently rub

the cloth over the area. Check each area for color bleeding.

If the towel does not pick up any color, it should be safe to

use the cleaning solution on the entire area.

A. Vacuum Upholstery or Stairs

Vacuum upholstery and stairs with a vacuum cleanerʼs

attachment tool. Use a crevice tool for hard to reach areas

such as tufts and corners.
IMPORTANT: Cleaning some upholstery fabrics

with a wet cleaning solution may

damage the fabric. Know what the

fabric content is and how to clean it

before using a cleaning solution on

upholstery fabrics.

Most manufacturers care code their fabrics with cleaning

methods. Some very delicate and unusual fabrics are DRY

CLEAN ONLY. If in doubt of the fabric type, call a dealer or

take a cushion or arm cover to a dealer for advice.
