Ok, so you have a gorgeous family couch or sofa. Well, it's usually gorgeous, but over time it is looking a little like something that should be in a junk yard, right!? Well let's see if we can't get it back to it's former glory with these tips for cleaning your couch.
1. Check Manufacturer's Instructions
This is important because it can tell you if there are any specific dos & don'ts for washing your couch. There is usually some pretty helpful cleaning instructions available on the label.
2. Check The Label
If you can't find the manufacturer's instructions, you can try looking online as well. If not there. Then you can also have a look at the couch's label. The label usually has, albeit more stripped down, instructions for care.
3. What Do These Letters Mean?
Sometimes on a label you will see washing instructions and because it's such a small space, they tend to use letter coding. Here's a breakdown of what they mean:
W - means that water can be used to clean
S - means don't use water - you need to get a solvent-based cleaner
WS - means you can safely use water or solvent-based cleaner
X - means you can use vaccuum only
