Cleaning with Water

If your couch has the W symbol on the label, this means it should only be cleaned with water. Do not use any cleaning solutions if your couch has the W symbol. You can use water and cleaning solution if it has the WS symbol.

When cleaning with water, use two cups of water with one tablespoon of dish soap and vinegar. Any stains should then be blotted, then blotted again with just water. Dry the area with a cloth in order to allow the couch to dry quickly for use again.

Cleaning with Solvents

Solvents are cleaning products that can be utilized on furniture such as couches. You will see a WS or a S symbol if you are able to utilize these cleaning products. Sometimes, your label will even state exactly what solvent to utilize.

After purchasing the solvent, be sure to read the directions fully. Understand exactly the amount of the product to use and how to use it. Follow the directions for care in use as well to keep you and your loved ones safe. When you are finished, be sure to dry the area with a clean cloth.
