Next, you need to know what types of upholstery cleaner should be used on your upholstery.
This is dependent on two things: (1) the type of fabric the upholstery is made of; and (2) the type of spill or stain on the upholstery.
Each will be addressed in turn.
Upholstery fabrics can be mystery sometimes, because the fabrics used for upholstery can be varied, such as cotton, wool, silk, acetate, linen, rayon, olefin, and acrylic just to name a few, including blends of these fabrics.
In addition, different upholstery fabrics have been dyed with different colors, in different ways, and the age of the upholstery should also be taken into account.
Note, if this is very old upholstery, or antique or very valuable, I would suggest calling in a professional.
If you don't know what upholstery cleaner can be used on your upholstery the first step is to look at the tag. You haven't removed the tag have you?
If you have removed it, read on for future reference so you can know why you actually want to save those tags, and I'll explain what you should do when you don't have a tag further down.
