Most<\/div>\n<div>decorator fabrics and upholstery pieces are labeled with cleaning codes. Before you tackle a<\/div>\n<div>stain on your own, be sure to know the meaning behind the cleaning codes on your furniture<\/div>\n<div>pieces. The most common cleaning codes include W, S, WS, and X.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Wet (W)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>If your item is labeled W, this means that the use of wet cleaning, such as steam cleaning or hot<\/div>\n<div>water extraction, should be used to clean your furniture. This is not the same as being machine<\/div>\n<div>washable. You can spot clean your fabric with a water-based shampoo or foam upholstery<\/div>\n<div>cleaner, but be careful to avoid over-wetting the stain.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Solvent (S)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>If labeled S, use only solvent-based cleaners to clean your fabric. Wetting items labeled S may<\/div>\n<div>leave permanent water rings or shrink the material. Using solvents, however, breaks down oily<\/div>\n<div>spots and leaves the area dry. Vacuum after using solvents to remove the soil that has been<\/div>\n<div>separated from the fabric. Avoid using cleaning products containing carbon tetrachloride as it is<\/div>\n<div>highly toxic.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Wet Cleaning and Solvent Cleaning (WS)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>Fabrics labeled WS use both cleaning methods on different spots. Oily areas should be cleaned<\/div>\n<div>with solvents and water-based cleaners should be used on water-based spots. Try wet cleaning<\/div>\n<div>methods first as they will usually remove the stain. If not, try solvents next. These fabrics can be<\/div>\n<div>spot cleaned with upholstery shampoo, foam from a mild detergent, or a mild dry cleaning<\/div>\n<div>solvent.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>No Cleaning (X)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>The fabrics are not meant to be cleaned when labeled X. They are only meant to be vacuumed<\/div>\n<div>and brushed to remove dry soils. The manufacturer does not recommend cleaning the fabric<\/div>\n<div>because shrinking, staining, or distortion of the surface pile may occur.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Unmarked<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>If your fabric is unmarked, test cleaning agents on an area of the furniture that will not be seen<\/div>\n<div>before using. Read the product label carefully. If you can identify the manufacturer, contact them<\/div>\n<div>for proper cleaning instructions.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Indian River Furniture<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div>Indian River Furniture is famous in Central Florida for coastal, tropical, and cottage; perfect for<\/div>\n<div>your Florida home and lifestyle.
