CLEANING UPHOLSTERY*
While staining and soiling exposures are common to upholstery fabrics, most may be removed by using
the following cleaning methods.
Light Soiling
•
Use a solution of 10% household liquid dish soap with warm water and apply with a soft, damp
cloth. Be sure to rinse away any remaining solution from the chair's surface.
•
If stubborn dirt remains as a stain embedded in the grain of the vinyl use a soft brush, and if
necessary, a touch of cleaning powder or other household cleanser. In both situations, rinse and
dry with a soft cloth.
Heavy Soiling
•
Dampen a soft, white cloth with naphtha (lighter fluid) or rubbing alcohol and rub gently. Rinse
with a water dampened cloth to remove any remaining concentration.
Other Tips
•
To clean stained or soiled areas, a soft white cloth is recommended. Avoid use of paper towels.
•
To restore luster, a light coat of spray furniture wax may be used. Apply for 30 seconds and follow
with a light buffing using a clean, white cloth.
•
When using strong cleaning agents such as rubbing alcohol or bleach, it is advisable to first test in
an inconspicuous area to determine potential damage to the material.
•
Never use harsh solvents or cleaners which are intended for industrial application.
