FABRIC: Schumacher Magic Mountain - Blush
OTTOMAN The Schumacher guide to caring for dry-clean-only fabric, upholstery, and pillows. Water-based cleaning methods can damage certain textiles, so for Schumacher products labeled “dry clean only,” we recommend a dry solvent. This does not mean you have to send them away, though! Learn a few tricks for caring for them at home. It should be cleaned with a dry solvent, which is a non-water, hydrocarbon-based compound. You can purchase dry-cleaning solvents at hardware stores or online. These solvents are usually petroleum-based and can be liquid, sprays, or powders. How to Dry Clean Fabric at Home 1. Use a clean white towel and a soft bristle brush to work the product into dirty areas and stains. 2. Let the product sit for the recommended amount of time and then vacuum up the powder. 3. Use an upholstery brush or soft toothbrush to gently brush the dirt from the fabric. 4. Wait for the upholstery or pillows to dry completely before sitting or leaning on it.
