Can Your Couch Be Cleaned? Check the Cleaning Code
Most couches can be cleaned, and the cleaning code on the tag tells you how. Look for the tag under the seat cushions or on the platform under them. It usually shows one of four letters.
| Cleaning Code | What It Means | How We Clean It |
|---|---|---|
| W | Water-based cleaning is safe | Low-moisture hot water extraction |
| S | Solvent cleaning only, no water | Solvent (dry) cleaning |
| WS or SW | Water or solvent cleaning is safe | The method that suits the soil and stains |
| X | Vacuum only, no liquid cleaning | Vacuuming and brushing only |
No tag? We treat the fabric as S until we test a hidden spot. Some sofas have different codes on the cushions, the back pillows and the frame, so we check each part.
Our Process
How Do We Clean Upholstery?
We clean upholstery by matching the method to the fabric, testing first, and using as little moisture as the job needs.
- Read the code and inspect. We check the cleaning code, the fabric, stains and worn areas, and tell you what to expect before we start.
- Test a hidden spot. We test the cleaning solution where no one will see it, to make sure the colors do not bleed.
- Vacuum. We remove pet hair, crumbs and loose dirt from the surface and the crevices.
- Pre-treat. We treat body oil on arms and headrests, food spots and drink spills.
- Clean. We clean with low-moisture extraction or solvent cleaning, based on the cleaning code.
- Groom and speed drying. We brush the fabric so it dries evenly and set up air movement to dry it faster.
Fabric Types
How Is Each Upholstery Fabric Cleaned?
Each upholstery fabric needs its own cleaning method, because fabrics react differently to water, heat and cleaning products.
| Fabric | What Can Go Wrong | How We Handle It |
|---|---|---|
| Microfiber and polyester | Fibers can mat and feel rough | Gentle products and brushing while it dries |
| Cotton and linen | Can shrink or get water spots | Low moisture and even drying |
| Wool and wool blends | Can shrink or felt with heat and strong cleaners | Cool water and wool-safe, mild products |
| Velvet | The pile can crush or flatten for good | Cleaning with the pile and brushing it back |
| Leather | Can dry out and crack with water | Leather products only, never fabric cleaners |

Before You DIY
What Upholstery Cleaning Mistakes Should You Avoid?
The most common upholstery cleaning mistake is using water on fabric that is coded S. Water can leave rings and stains on S fabric that may never come out.
- Do not machine-wash zip-off cushion covers. Covers can shrink, and washed covers can fade to a different color than the rest of the sofa.
- Do not soak the fabric. Too much liquid soaks the cushion foam, dries slowly and can leave brown marks.
- Do not rub a spill. Blot it with a plain white cloth, which will not transfer dye.
- Do not skip the test. Try any cleaner on a hidden spot first.
Homes With Pets
Can You Remove Pet Odor From a Couch?
Yes, in most cases. Pet hair and the oily “doggy” smell from fur usually clean out of upholstery well. Urine is harder, because it soaks into the cushion foam under the fabric.
We treat urine spots in cushions with enzymes before cleaning, and we tell you honestly if the foam needs replacing. Pet stain and odor removal in Medford
Your Questions Answered
Upholstery Cleaning FAQs
Ans- Most homes should clean upholstery once every 12 to 24 months. Homes with pets, young kids or allergies often clean once a year or more.
Ans- Not when the method matches the cleaning code. We read the code and test a hidden spot before we clean. Shrinking and fading usually happen when covers are machine-washed or S fabric gets wet.
Ans- No. We clean furniture where it sits. Just clear off pillows, blankets, remotes and anything fragile nearby.
Ans- Leftover soap is the most common cause. Home machines and store cleaners often leave soap in the fabric, which dries stiff and attracts new dirt. Medford's city water is moderately soft, so hard water is rarely the problem. A professional rinse removes the soap.
Ans- Usually it greatly reduces it. Fabric traps smoke particles, which is why a couch can smell smoky long after fire season. A deep clean removes most of them, and very heavy smoke may need a second treatment.
Ans- Leather and suede need different products than fabric. Tell us the type of leather when you call, and we will let you know what we can do.
Ans- Fabric protector is optional. It gives you more time to blot a spill before it soaks in. We only suggest it for busy furniture, like a family sofa.
Ans- Yes. We use cleaning products made for homes with kids and pets and rinse the fabric well. Keep everyone off the furniture until it is dry.
