When buying your new furniture, be sure to select fabrics that match your lifestyle and the level of use and wear that it will get. If you have a family and often may be eating or drinking on a sofa, for example, microfiber or other synthetics (such as Olefin) will be better for you than cotton fabrics as the former is far more stain resistant than the latter. No matter what type of fabric you end up selecting, you should always consider having a finish applied to guard the fabric. There are finishes to protect against both water-based staining and against any oily residue buildup. Any professional upholstery cleaning Santa Monica CA will also advise this as it will also help the fabric to accept a good cleaning later on.

On your labels, there are typically codes that indicate the method or product that should be used to clean the fabric with. For example, “W” indicates that water can be used for cleaning minor spots, “S” indicates a special furniture solvent is best, “SW” is a mix of both water and a solvent and “X” means that you should not use either of these things but only use a soft brush or a dry cleaning method. Even for fabrics that accept water for cleaning may not want it to be the first product used as a water ring can form so one should be careful with that as well. Initially collecting any excess material with a dry cloth or dull edge is best and then wipe with a damp microfiber towel in a circular pattern from the outside to the center of the spot.
