DeepClean Essential. If the tag is coded with “X”
or “S” (with a diagonal strike through), or says
“Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. Do not use on
velvet or silk. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or
not coded, check with your furniture dealer.

place.
3. If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored
stuffing may bleed through fabric when wet.
4. Plan activities to give upholstery time to dry.
