Start with the care information supplied for your exact upholstery. Msofas advises protecting furniture from prolonged sunlight and heat.

Before using a cleaner

Find the fabric name and check which methods are suitable. Do not assume a removable cover is machine washable. For a spill or mark, note what caused it and ask for product-specific guidance if the instructions are unclear. Avoid applying a treatment based only on advice for a different fabric or an online photograph.
