    Default Cleaning/Refreshing White Fabric Furniture

    Searching on the site, I saw some posts from Duane regarding cleaning furniture, but I'm looking for more answers. This pertains to a white Jessica Charles chaise lounge that I believe may be a linen blend. It is about 1.5 years old and was never scotchgarded. Since I couldn't find a tag that indicated the appropriate cleaning methods, should I assume "Code S?" Duane recommended Carbona for this in another post, but I don't quite understand how you would use it to do a whole cleaning. Do you spray it over the entire chaise lounge? I'd like to refresh it before Scotchgarding it.

    Cleaning code 'S' means dry cleaning fluids only. Always test on a backside to see how it affects color, etc. Carbona is just one that is readily available at most supermarkets, there are others as well.

    Thanks Duane. But if you want to clean the entire piece of furniture, how do you do it? Do you just dab the Carbona all over it?

    I have only ever done spot cleaning, I would be very cautious in trying to do the entire piece and would probably have a professional do it. DO NOT let anyone talk you into 'steam cleaning' or anything water based, however. That will ruin fabrics with Cleaning Code S specifics.
