Decoding the Cleaning Code
So you've picked out the perfect piece of furniture, but it's just not in the cover you want.

Well, Great News!
Now's your chance to customize your order by choosing your own fabric. But this could be a blessing or a curse. Depending on the manufacturer, you may have 3 options or over 500, which can make choosing the right swatch seem overwhelming.
So where to start?
Something to consider is the cleaning code. Often found attached to the fabric swatch will be a label with the fabric name/number with an identifying cleaning code.
The 4 most common cleaning codes are S, W, WS and X.
S – Spot clean only with a water-free dry cleaning solvent. Pretest a
small, inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not saturate. DO NOT USE
WATER. Pile fabrics may require brushing with a non-metallic, stiff
bristle brush to restore appearance. Cushion covers should not be
removed and dry cleaned. To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming
or light brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to remove
dust and grime is recommended. When cleaning a spill, blot immediately
to remove spilled material. Clean spots or stains from the outside to
the middle of the affected area to prevent circling. Overall cleaning by a professional furniture cleaning service only is recommended.
W – Spot clean only with water-based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner. Pretest for color loss and fabric compatibility. Do not over wet. Use professional upholstery cleaning service for overall soiling.
WS – Spot clean with upholstery shampoo, foam from a mild detergent, or mild dry cleaning solvent. Pretest a small, inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not saturate. Pile fabrics may require brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to restore appearance. Hot water extraction of steam cleaning is not a recommenced cleaning method. Cushions casings should not be removed and laundered or dry cleaned. To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to remove dust and grime is recommended. When cleaning a spill, blot immediately to remove spilled material. Clean spots or stains from the outside to the middle of affected area to prevent circling. Use a professional furniture cleaning service when an overall soiled condition has been reached.
X – Cleaning only by vacuuming or light brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush. DO NOT USE ANY WATER OR SOLVENT BASED CLEANER.
W – Spot clean only with water-based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner. Pretest for color loss and fabric compatibility. Do not over wet. Use professional upholstery cleaning service for overall soiling.
WS – Spot clean with upholstery shampoo, foam from a mild detergent, or mild dry cleaning solvent. Pretest a small, inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not saturate. Pile fabrics may require brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to restore appearance. Hot water extraction of steam cleaning is not a recommenced cleaning method. Cushions casings should not be removed and laundered or dry cleaned. To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to remove dust and grime is recommended. When cleaning a spill, blot immediately to remove spilled material. Clean spots or stains from the outside to the middle of affected area to prevent circling. Use a professional furniture cleaning service when an overall soiled condition has been reached.
X – Cleaning only by vacuuming or light brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush. DO NOT USE ANY WATER OR SOLVENT BASED CLEANER.
Remember this is for spot cleaning only. Don't go dousing your sofa or armchair in solution.
If you have kids, pets, entertain or just enjoy the piece of mind of well taken care of furniture, I recommend looking into cosmetic warranties. Most manufacturers only have a 1 year warranty and those only cover structural issues. A cosmetic warranty will cover those pesky pen marks, punches, loose stitching and bodily fluids without questioning how it happened.

Tips for Choosing the PERFECT Sofa...
BEFORE YOU SHOP
1. Research Your Style:Look at blogs, websites, Pinterest, Houzz, Apartment Therapy, etc. to get a feel of what is out there and what you want.
2. Measure Your Space:
This includes doorways, hallways, and entryways that the sofa will have to pass through to make it to the final destination.
3. Know Your Color Palette:
Gather any paint samples, existing fabric swatches, flooring samples that are already in the room so you can bring them into the store to match.
Check out: BENJAMIN MOORE or VALSPAR for ideas
4. Set a Budget:
Decide on a number you would like to stick to when purchasing your new sofa. This will help you narrow down your selection to pieces that are realistic for you.
AT THE STORE
1. View Your Options:
Take your time and walk around the store to see what is available now and what needs to be ordered. Try to keep and open mind because the a sofa you like in leather might also be available in fabric.
2. Sit Down & Relax:
Try out the sofa! Sit and/or lay how you would at home. Is it comfortable?
3. Use Your Measurements:
Will the sofa fit in your space according to the measurements you took of your space?
4. Make Sure it Fits Your Style & Purpose:
Does it fall into the category of classic, modern, or trendy you were hoping to find? Does it fit the purpose of the comfy TV viewing sofa, or is it the perfect formal sofa for your upscale living room? Is the sofa available in fabric or leather, or both?
5. All About Quality:
Is the quality on par to how long you plan to have the sofa?
Most manufacturers have a 1 year warranty on their cushions and frame. But you don't have to sacrifice your style or budget. If you love the a specific style, see if you can upgrade the cushion quality to down or higher density foam which will last you longer.
6. Look into Customization:
This is the fun part, make the sofa uniquely yours. Change the fabric or leather, the cushion style, the arm style, the base style, or configuration for a sectional sofa if possible.
7. Know the Lead Time:
How long does the sofa take to arrive? Does this time period work for you?
If you are waiting for an order, keep in mind that items do get back ordered or they may be issues with freights due to weather or accidents. Make sure you contact your sales rep to get regular status updates in case this may be a concern. If you need a piece within a short time frame, it may be best to look at only want is currently in stock.
