Cleaning Codes

Each fabric type has a specific cleaning code which can be found on the Free Swatch Page.


Solvent or Water Cleanable (S/W) - Spot clean with upholstery shampoo, foam from a mild detergent, or a mild dry cleaning solvent.

Water Cleanable (W) - Spot clean fabric with a water-based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner. Avoid over-wetting the stain.

Spot Clean Only (SC) - Cleaning depends on the nature of the stain. For oil-based spots, do not apply water and use dry cloth. Recommended use of leather-specific solvents & cleaners.

Solvent Cleanable (S) - Must be cleaned with solvents (dry clean only). Spot treat stains with a water-free solvent or dry-cleaning product.


Machine Washable

Many of our fabrics are machine washable. If a fabric is machine washable, it’ll be noted in the cleaning instructions on the Free Swatch page. It must be Machine Wash - Cold. Use Cold Water and a mild detergent on a low/gentle cycle. Hang dry all covers. Please note that every machine wash adds wear to the fabric so it’s recommended to opt for spot cleaning prior to machine washing whenever possible.


Spot Cleaning

We recommend spot cleaning with either an upholstery shampoo, foam from a mild detergent, or a mild cleaning solvent. Always hang to dry. When spills happen, blot immediately to remove the spilled material. Clean spots or stains from the outside to the middle of the affected area (this prevents circling). To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming to remove dust and grime is recommended.
