Fabric Care
While you can't anticipate the guest who will spill his or her beverage or the child who will drip ice cream on your living room sofa, there are some basic upholstery care tips that will keep your furniture looking new longer:
•Vacuum your upholstered furniture weekly, using a furniture brush and the extension that enables you to reach into corners for crumbs and dust.
•Direct sunlight will fade your upholstery, so keep the furniture out of the direct rays.
•Rearrange the furniture in your room from time to time, so that constant use won't wear out one piece of furniture much more quickly than the others in the room.
•Turn cushions and pillows around on a weekly basis to extend the life of the fabric.
•Move houseplants and flowers away from contact with upholstery fabrics.
•If you plan to paint, refinish that antique table, or put on nail polish, be smart and cover your upholstered furniture to protect from spills.
Before you try to remove a stain or soil from your upholstery, you should determine the type of fabric involved. (You'll find the code on the deck label. If not, call the store you bought it from.) These codes indicate the type of fabric involved - cotton, wool, silk, and so on - and suggest the best methods of cleaning and spot removal.
Here's a handy reference list of cleaning codes:
WS Spot clean, using mild water-free solvent or dry cleaning product.
W Use water-based cleaning agents or foams only.
S Use only mild, water-free dry cleaning solvents.
X Do not use foam or liquid agents on this fabric. Vacuum or brush lightly to remove soil.
