Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  What do those "codes" on my upholstered furniture's label mean?
 
A:  Furniture manufacturers use an ASTM labeling system for "colorfastness" codes to assist consumers in determining colorfastness to spotting and cleaning agents:

"W" Dyes are stable to water-based spotters / cleaners.

"S" Dyes are stable to dry solvent-based spotters / cleaners.

"W/S" Dyes are stable to either water or dry solvent-based spotters / cleaners.

"X" Dyes are not stable to either water or dry solvent-based spotters / cleaners.
