Step 2
Apply in small circles using a microfiber cloth.
Step 3

Performance fabrics are tough, but they still need consistent care to resist stains, hold shape, and stay vibrant.
Schedule a professional fabric cleaning every 12-18 months to reset fibers and treat deep-set dirt.
Pro tip: Always test protection sprays on hidden seams before full application.

A few small habits can save thousands in premature furniture replacement.
Dish soap strips natural oils, leaving leather brittle. Always use leather-specific cleaners.
Correct method: pH-balanced leather soap followed by conditioner.
Too much water drives stains deeper and encourages mildew.
Correct method: Light mist, blotting, and fans for airflow.
Neglect accelerates wear, sagging, and discoloration.
Correct method: Set calendar reminders monthly and quarterly.
Unapproved chemicals can bleach or damage finishes.
Correct method: Check manufacturer codes (S, W, WS, X) before cleaning.
Consistent care stretches the lifespan of both leather and fabric furniture.
Prevents uneven wear and denting in high-use seats.
UV rays fade dyes and degrade fibers—use window treatments.

The first five minutes determine whether stains set or lift.
