Terms and disclaimer

The guidance on this site is general information researched from credible sources. It is not a professional cleaning service and it cannot see your item.

Manufacturer instructions come first

Where a care label, manufacturer instruction or product label conflicts with anything here, follow the label. Sealed, treated, antique, dyed and specialist finishes behave differently from the general case.

Always pre-test

Test any cleaner on a hidden area first, let it dry and check for a colour change before you treat the visible mark. Stop if the material changes.

Limits

We cannot accept liability for damage caused by following general guidance on a specific item. Where an item is valuable, delicate or irreplaceable, a professional cleaner is the right answer and our pages will say so.
