How to Care for Different Types of Fabric

How to care for leather:

• Wipe weekly with a damp microfiber cloth
• Avoid harsh cleaners—never use bleach or ammonia
• Apply leather conditioner every 2–3 months
• Keep away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent fading
Pro Tip:

If you see cracking starting, use a conditioning cream immediately. The sooner the better.

How to care for suede:

• Brush regularly with a suede brush
• Spot-clean with a suede cleaner or vinegar/water
• Avoid water—a little moisture can create stains
• Use a protectant spray to prevent future damage
Never do this:

Don’t scrub or use soap. It will ruin the texture.

How to care for microfiber:

• Vacuum regularly to remove dust and crumbs
• Blot spills immediately (don’t rub!)
• Use rubbing alcohol or a microfiber-safe cleaner
• Finish with a soft brush to restore texture
Why microfiber is great:

It’s naturally stain-resistant and ideal for pets and families.

How to care for cotton:

• Use mild detergent and water-based cleaners
• Spot-clean gently and let dry fully
• Avoid overwetting to prevent water rings
• Use fabric protectant to prevent future spills
Avoid:

When using strong chemicals or scrub brushes—always be gentle.

How to care for Vinyl:

• Wipe down with warm water and dish soap
• Avoid oil-based products—they cause cracking over time
• Use vinyl-safe protectant every few months
Quick Warning:

Oil-based protectants can make vinyl sticky and brittle. Choose water-based only.

How to care for Wool:

• Vacuum regularly
• Use cold water only for spot cleaning
• Use wool-safe fabric cleaners
• Avoid heat—it can shrink the fibers

No matter the material, always avoid:

• ❌ Scrubbing instead of blotting
• ❌ Using bleach or abrasive chemicals
• ❌ Letting stains sit too long
• ❌ Over-saturating with water

These are the fastest ways to permanently damage a fabric.

Some stains just need expert care—especially:

• Wine
• Pet accidents
• Ink or dye transfer
• Heavy Soiling
• Set-in stains

If you see discoloration or the stain spreads after cleaning attempts, that’s a sign to call a pro before damage becomes permanent.
