How to Clean Upholstery and Small Areas

Important - Check Upholstery Tags

Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on the

1. tag means you can use your ProHeat. If the tag is coded with “X” or “S” (with a diagonal strike through), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. The Scotchgardprotector is not recommended for use on velvet, silk, 100% cotton upholstery, vinyl or leather. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
