Use and Care Manual

S Fabrics that are Code S must be cleaned with solvents (dry clean only). You can spot treat stains
with a water-free solvent or dry-cleaning product. Use solvent cleaners in a well-ventilated room and
keep away from open flames. Avoid using cleaning products containing carbon tetrachloride, as it is
highly toxic.
W/S A W/S code, as you might expect, means that a combination of dry cleaning solvents and
water-based cleaners may be used. These fabrics can be spot cleaned with upholstery shampoo, foam
from a mild detergent, or a mild dry cleaning solvent. This is a case where a pre-test is especially
important. For overall dirt, call a professional to clean these fabrics.
X If you have fabrics with Code X, they can only be cleaned by vacuuming or light brushing. A Code X
means the fabric is not cleanable with water or solvent cleaners.
Once you’ve determined how to clean your fabric, it’s always a good idea to pre-test the cleaner on a
small, inconspicuous spot on the fabric. This way you can make sure the cleaner works and doesn’t
leave a spot or cause the colors to bleed. If you’re in doubt about how to proceed, it’s usually best to
call a professional upholstery cleaner.
