Cleanability

Cleaning is a breeze with Naugahyde brand fabric and its advanced BeautyGard protective finish. While staining and soiling exposures are common to upholstery fabrics, Naugahyde's sulfide stain resistant formulation allows most to be removed using the following methods:

Step 1: Light soiling, the most common of problems.

• A solution of 10% household liquid dish soap with warm water applied with a soft damp cloth (avoid use of paper towels) will remove most soiling.
• If necessary, a solution of liquid cleanser and water applied with a soft bristle brush. Wipe away the residue with a water-dampened cloth.

Step 2: Heavier soiling not solved by above method:

• Dampen a soft white cloth (avoid use of paper towels) with lighter fluid (naphtha) and rub gently. Rinse with a water-dampened cloth.
• Note: Use extreme caution with this method. Complete only in a well-ventilated area and away from any open flame.
• Note: You should try this method on an inconspicuous spot before using it on the original stain/soiling.

For Naugahyde Canvas please use steps 1 and 2 only for product maintenance.

Step 3: For the most difficult stains not removed by the above methods:

• Dampen a soft white cloth (avoid use of paper towels) with a solution of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite); 10% bleach, 90% water.
• Rub gently. Rinse with a water-dampened cloth to remove bleach concentration.
• If necessary, allow a 1:10 diluted bleach solution to puddle on the affected area or apply with a soaked cloth for approximately 30 minutes. Rinse with a water-dampened cloth to remove any remaining bleach concentration.
• Note: You should try this method on an inconspicuous spot before using it on the original stain/soiling.

NOTE

To restore luster, a light coat of spray furniture wax can be used. Apply for 30 seconds and follow with a light buffing using a clean soft white cloth.
