Cleaning for Upholstered Parts (Non-Live Parts)
Recliner upholstery requires little maintenance. Everyday dirt can usually be removed using a clean, soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Spills and accidents require immediate attention for best results.
Always begin cleaning by using steps 1 or 2, then progress to the stronger cleaners if needed. Most soil can be easily removed with soap and water or the concentrated cleaners suggested in step 2. If use of a disinfectant is desired, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends using a solution consisting of 1/4 cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water, then rinsing the solution thoroughly from the surface with clear water. Not rinsing thoroughly and/or using stronger mixtures will likely result in discoloration of the upholstery.
