The care-code check
Upholstery and clothing tags carry a one-letter cleaning code. Every method here starts by reading it:
- W — water-based cleaners OK
- S — solvent cleaners only
- WS — either is safe
- X — vacuum only — call a pro
How we keep this honest
One method per stain & surface — what not to do first, the care-code check, then the exact steps. Every entry is dated, names its sources, and says what we could not confirm instead of guessing.
