#1 Check the Clean Code
Check the clean code on the item that you are cleaning’s tag. The cleaning code is usually a letter. If it’s a W, it can be cleaned with water; if it’s an S, it has to be dry-cleaned with a solvent. If it’s a combination of both; you can choose how you want to clean it.
#2 Thoroughly Vacuum
Before starting to clean, make sure to thoroughly vacuum the piece. Remove the dust and particles as much as you can via dry vacuuming before getting it wet.

#3 Choose the Right Cleaner
If it’s a water-based piece, combine 1 cup of rubbing alcohol, 1 cup of water, and a few drops of Dawn dish soap. This DIY cleaning solution is not only effective but will also not damage your piece.
#4 Clean and Extract
First, spray the cleaner on, then scrub in with a soft bristle brush or a towel. After this, use a spotter machine or a carpet cleaning machine with an upholstery attachment, then thoroughly flush, working in sections, the entire piece.
#5 Get It Dry Quickly
Open the window when you’re cleaning or use a box fan, a ceiling fan, or anything that you have that will help dry the piece quickly.
