Laminate: General Cleaning Care Instructions-
Cleaners should never contain acid, alkali, or sodium hypochlorite. To clean, use a clean, damp, and non-abrasive cloth with a mild detergent or household cleaner. Do not flood the laminate, especially near seams, since water can penetrate and cause the substrate to swell. Rinse and dry the surface with a clean, non-abrasive cloth.
- For specific cleaning instructions, please contact the laminate manufacturer.
Wood: Cleaning Care Instructions-

Fabrics:
Code “W”
Code “W” is used on fabrics that should be cleaned with water based cleaning agents only. The best method is to spot clean using foam from only water based cleaners, or non-solvent cleaning products. And when you clean, it is best to apply foam with a soft brush (so as not to damage the fabric) in a circular motion, and vacuum when dry.
Code “S”
On fabrics bearing an “S” code, you should try to use a mild water-free cleaning solvent or dry cleaning product. If this is the case, make sure that your room is well ventilated and there are no open flames, such as from fireplaces, candles or cigarette lighters. If you have concerns about the safety of these cleaning chemicals, try to purchase fabric that doesn't use this method of cleaning.
Code “W-S”
Code “W-S” fabrics can be cleaned with either water or solvent based products. Use a mild solvent, an upholstery shampoo, or the foam from a mild detergent.
Code “X”
A fabric bearing code X should only be cleaned by vacuuming or gently brushing. NEVER use any cleaning agents at all. Any cleaning product whether water or solvent based may cause staining, shrinkage or distortion of the fabric surface pile.
