As a general rule, Ebanista first and foremost recommends professional cleaning for all upholstered pieces, regardless of material. We also recommend that all upholstery pieces be professionally treated immediately following installation by companies such as Microseal or Ultra Guard.   Should clients wish to care for their upholstery independently, we recommend the following:  For cotton and wool fabrics, treat stains promptly by lightly blotting a white cloth dampened with lukewarm water. Vacuuming on the lowest setting with a non-abrasive head is recommended for general maintenance.  For silk fabrics, treat stains promptly by lightly blotting a white cloth dampened with lukewarm water. Never rub or abrade the silk in any way.

If the stain is oil-based, a mild solvent can also be applied. Never rub or abrade the linen in any way. Vacuuming on the lowest setting with a non-abrasive head is recommended for general maintenance.  For synthetic fabrics, treat stains promptly by lightly blotting a white cloth dampened with lukewarm water. Try to avoid rubbing and apply only cleaners suitable for the combination of fibers in question. As there is a wider variety of material in this category, it’s always best to first test an inconspicuous section of the textile to gauge its response.   Please note when caring for upholstery, a small area should always be tested first in an inconspicuous spot. For all fabrics, it’s best to dust regularly and keep upholstered pieces out of direct sunlight. Any further questions are best addressed by professional cleaning services.
