The correct cleaning method for upholstery depends on its fibres, treatment, and manufacturer guidance.

• Vacuum upholstery regularly at low power with a soft attachment.
• Blot fresh marks rather than rubbing them, and test cleaners on a hidden area first.

Natural stone varies in pattern and porosity, so protection requirements depend on the stone and finish.

• Use a pH-neutral cleaner and blot spills quickly.
• Avoid acids and abrasives, and confirm whether the surface requires a protective sealer.
