Upholstery Fabric Codes Explained

W – Water-Based

Safe to clean with water-based methods.

S – Solvent-Based Only

Needs solvent-based cleaning only; a water-based method on S-coded fabric can cause shrinking, staining or watermarking.

WS – Water or Solvent

Can be cleaned safely with either a water-based or solvent-based method.

X – Vacuum Only

Vacuum-only fabric that can't be wet-cleaned without risking damage.

No Fabric Tag? Upholstery Cleaning Without a Code

When there’s no care tag showing a code, we test an inconspicuous spot before cleaning the full piece, so we know how the fabric will react before we commit to a method on the visible areas.

What We Clean in an Upholstery Cleaning Visit

Sofas, Sectionals & Chairs

Full-piece cleaning matched to the fabric code, treating visible stains and general soiling – including upholstered dining and accent chairs.

Pet Odor Treatment

Enzyme-based treatment, the same approach we use on carpet.

Same-Visit Scheduling

Often scheduled alongside a carpet cleaning visit in the same room, saving a separate appointment.

Fabric-Safe Protector

An optional protector can be applied after cleaning to help fabric resist future spills and everyday soiling.

Everyday Upholstery Wear & Care

Pets & Kids Add Up

Homes with pets or kids tend to accumulate oils, hair and general soiling faster than in other households, and that buildup dulls fabric color over time even without a visible stain.

General Cleaning Lifts Buildup

A general cleaning lifts that everyday buildup and helps fabric color look the way it should again.

Vacuum Between Visits

Regular vacuuming between visits helps too, since loose soil that isn't removed works its way deeper into the fibers over time.

Every 12 to 18 Months

Most households do well with upholstery cleaning every twelve to eighteen months, sooner in a home with pets, kids or heavy daily use.

Fabric Type Shapes Our Upholstery Cleaning Approach

Beyond the care-tag code, the fiber itself plays a role in how a piece responds to cleaning. Natural fibers like cotton and linen tend to absorb moisture readily and can watermark or shrink if over-wetted, so drying time and moisture control matter more with these fabrics. Synthetic blends such as polyester and microfiber are generally more forgiving and dry faster, which is part of why they hold up well in busy households. Vinyl and faux-leather upholstery isn't wiped down the same way as woven fabric at all; it calls for products meant for that surface rather than a standard fabric approach.

Upholstery generally doesn't need cleaning as often as carpet. Carpet takes direct foot traffic across the whole floor, while a sofa or chair only sees regular contact in a few spots, so it builds up soil more slowly.

Between professional visits, a few habits go a long way in homes with pets or young kids: blot spills right away instead of rubbing them in, keep pet nail trims current to reduce snags and surface wear, and rotate cushions occasionally so wear and fading spread evenly across the piece.

Upholstery Cleaning FAQs

How do I know if my furniture can be wet-cleaned?

Check the fabric code on the furniture's care tag (W, S, WS or X). If there's no tag, we'll test an inconspicuous spot before cleaning the full piece.

Can you clean upholstery and carpet in the same visit?

Yes – let us know when you book so we can schedule both in one appointment.

How long does upholstery take to dry?

Usually a few hours with good airflow, depending on fabric and fill. We'll give you a realistic window for your specific piece.

Do you clean leather furniture?

Our service is for fabric upholstery. Leather needs different, leather-specific products – ask us and we can point you in the right direction.
