Upholstery Cleaning in Roseville
Before you clean a sofa, find the cleaning code tag. It tells you whether water is safe on the fabric.
Fabric Cleaning Codes
W
Use a water-based cleaner. It does not mean the fabric is machine-washable.
S
Dry-clean only. Solvent-based products are used for spot cleaning.
WS
Water-based and solvent-based cleaners are both safe for spot cleaning.
X
Vacuum only. No liquid cleaner.
Per Rainbow Restores, check the furniture for tags. You may need to undo zippers or buttons, and cushions can have their own tags with different instructions.
What Is Safe at Home
- Vacuum first, every code.
- Blot spills, never rub. Rubbing pushes the stain in.
- Test in a hidden spot before using any cleaner.
- Respect the code. X fabric should not get liquid at all.
