Care-code check

W Water-based cleaner is safe
S Solvent only — keep water off
WS Water or solvent both fine
X Professional only — don’t treat

Before you treat: test any cleaner on a hidden area first. If the item is valuable or delicate, take it to a professional.

General guidance, not a guarantee. Fabrics and finishes vary — always check the care label and test any treatment on a hidden area first. When something is valuable or delicate, use a professional cleaner.
