Stain Treatment and Spot Cleaning

A professional cleaning service is recommended

Treat stains quickly
    •  It will become increasingly difficult to remove the longer a stain is allowed to set
    •  Pretest any cleaning method or agent in a small hidden inconspicuous area
    •  Several less concentrated applications are less damaging than one concentrated application

Do not let fluids penetrate the surface
    •  Remove fluids immediately by blotting with a clean, colorfast, absorbent cloth

Remove solid or semi-solid substances
    •  Using a flat object, remove as much of the stain as possible
    •  After removal, vacuum thoroughly using the proper attachments before cleaning with an agent

Water-based stains
    •  Using a soft brush or sponge, apply warm, soapy water to the stain

Oil-based stains
    •  Use solvent or dry clean solution.  Don't apply cleaning agent directly.  Apply cleaning agent to cloth or sponge.

For all stains
    •  Use light, quick strokes and start from the outside of the stain and work towards the center
    •  Do not rub or scrub as this may damage the fabric
    •  Do not use heat.  Heat will set the stain.
    •  Do not over wet as this may leave a ring
    •  Soak up any remaining cleaning solution
    •  Use a clean cloth and cool water to remove any residue
    •  Allow fabric to dry thoroughly
    •  Vacuum well using appropriate upholstery attachment

Stain Treatment and Spot Cleaning

For all stains
    •  Mix 2 cups of warm water with 1 teaspoon of enzyme laundry detergent (e.g., Tide® or Cheer®)
    •  Remove excess soil and apply the soap and water mixture to the stained area
    •  Agitate stain with a soft brush, brushing in a circular motion inward making sure to not "grow" the stain
    •  Allow solution to remain on stain for one minute
    •  Blot up the stain with a dry, white towel, rinse any remaining soap with water and blot the area again
    •  Repeat if necessary

Extraction cleaning

For overall cleaning, we recommend periodically extracting upholstered surfaces
    •  Before wet-cleaning, vacuum the upholstery
    •  Apply cleaning solution to specific spots and lightly brush
    •  Follow directions on filling extraction machine with proper solution, wet the area with pre-spray and vacuum up

    the solution

Bleach Cleanable 

To disinfect spray a 10:1 ratio water/bleach mixture on the fabric and allow to linger for the time specified bythe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Rinse all cleaning agents thoroughly with water and wipe with a soft cloth
    •  Residue left by cleaning agents will degrade and shorten the life and/or affect the product's
       appearance if not removed.
