How to Clean Different Upholstery Fabrics - Microfiber, Velvet, Leather, and More

Choosing the best carpet and upholstery cleaner for your specific fabric type makes all the difference between refreshed furniture and permanent damage.

Finding Your Fabric’s Cleaning Code

Every piece of upholstered furniture comes with a tag that includes a cleaning code letter. This tiny label, usually tucked under cushions or along the bottom edge, tells you exactly how to clean that specific fabric safely. The letter W means water-based cleaners are safe to use. An S indicates you should only use solvent-based cleaners. WS means either type works fine. The letter X is the strictest, allowing only vacuuming or professional cleaning.
