Upholstery & Fabrics: what to know
Furniture wears differently from carpet: body oils build up on arms and headrests, crumbs collect in seams, and pet hair works into the weave. The cleaning code on the tag (W, S, W/S, or X) tells you which cleaners the fabric can safely handle, so check it before treating any spot.
Light, regular care keeps most fabrics looking good: vacuum and rotate the cushions, and blot spills quickly. Velvet, linen, silk blends, and anything coded S or X are safest left to a professional who can test the fabric first.
