Fabric Cleaning Codes
The codes listed below detail cleaning instructions recommended by the fabric manufacturing indus-
try. Refer to the fabric charts, located on the following pages, for particular fabrics and follow
the recommended cleaning code.
If a spill occurs, blot the moisture as quickly as possible. Do not use soap and hot water as this may
set a stain. Clean the spot as soon as possible.

by a professional furniture cleaning service is recommended. To prevent overall soil, frequent vacu-
uming or light brushing to remove dust and grime is recommended.

professional furniture cleaning service is recommended.
CAUTION:
Use of water-based or detergent-based solvent cleaners may cause excessive shrinking.
Water stains may become permanent and unable to be removed with solvent cleaning
agents. Avoid products containing Carbon Tetrachloride as it is highly toxic. To help
prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to remove dust and
grime is recommended.

ice is recommended. To help prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to
