It is time to freshen up and clean your fabric bar stools. Follow this easy, step-by-step process on how to clean your material on your kitchen stools.

How to clean stains on Fabric/s

  1. Get to the stains quickly. As soon as a spill or stain occurs, get to cleaning it promptly. Waiting too long before treating a stain – even a matter of a few minutes – can cause the stain to set, making it harder to get out.
  2. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations. Before using any cleaning detergents or solutions, check the manufacturer’s instructions for care, which can usually be advised by contacting our support team. Failing to use safe cleaning products could mean permanently damaged upholstery.
  3. Check the cleaning codes for your fabric stools. You know those random letters on your stool’s tags? Those are codes! Check out the table below for the list of codes – and what they mean.
  4. Use a dry brush to remove loose particles. Go over the entire stool with a stiff brush with natural bristles to help loosen stains and bring dust and dirt to the surface.
  5. Vacuum. Before scrubbing and cleaning your fabric stool/s, use a hand-held vacuum to remove crumbs and any other loose particles. This will make it easier to identify and focus on troublesome stains when it comes time to clean.
  6. Clean with baking soda. Baking soda is not just for baking – it’s also an effective cleaning treatment. In fact, sprinkling baking soda over the entire stool/fabric area will help to remove odors, and further loosen stains. Once the baking soda has fully absorbed the stain, vacuum it up with a brush attachment. And as with all types of cleaning solutions, always spot treat a test portion of the stool before cleaning it fully.
  7. Spot treat with the recommended agent. Begin cleaning your kitchen stools with the recommended product. If you are unsure if the product falls within the recommendations, test a small area for any discoloration before proceeding. Whether you use a water-based cleaner or a solvent (or both), follow the instructions on the packaging. If the instructions say it is safe to do so, use a soft cloth to wipe away the solution.
  8. Dry your fabric sofa with a soft towel. Pat down any wet areas with a dry towel to soak up the residual moisture. Gently brush off any remaining cleaning solution.
  9. Let your fabric stools air dry. Let the upholstery air dry overnight, and enjoy a fresh fabric stools in the morning!
