A skirted arm chair adds a touch of elegance to the decor in your living room. These dressed-up chairs not only improve the look of your room but are also easy to clean and care for.
Skirted arm chairs are covered in different types of upholstery. Before you pull out the cleaner, check underneath your skirted chair for a tag. This tag tells you what kind of fabric your chair is made of and what type of cleaning it requires. Your fabric will be water-based (W), solvent-based (S), water or solvent-based (WS), or require professional cleaning (X).
In general, vacuuming is the first step to cleaning upholstered chairs. For W or WS upholstery, use a soft brush and diluted dish soap to clean. For S fabrics, only use special solvent-based cleaners. If your fabric label reads X, call a professional to come in and clean it for the best results.
