UPHOLSTERY OVERALL CLEANING
For thorough cleaning, we recommend a professional in-home upholstery cleaning service. Once you contact a professional cleaner, also be prepared to give them your fabrics content information as well as the Spot cleaning code. Overall cleaning is recommended every 12 to 24 months or when an overall soiled condition has been reached. Don’t wait for severe soiling. The more soiling, the less likelihood of restoring fabric. Do not remove cushion or pillow casings for separate cleaning as this may cause a slight color change in the fabric.
