Maintenance Features:
The document provides comprehensive fabric care instructions based on cleaning codes:
- 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 a dry cloth. Leather-specific solvents and cleaners are recommended.
- 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 Fabrics: If a fabric is machine washable (as noted on the Free Swatch page), it should be machine washed in cold water with a mild detergent on a low/gentle cycle. All covers should be hung to dry. It's noted that machine washing adds wear, so spot cleaning is recommended first whenever possible.

- Spill Management: Blot spills immediately to remove spilled material.
- Stain Removal Technique: Clean spots or stains from the outside to the middle of the affected area to prevent circling.
