Cleaning Codes

DO YOU KNOW...
How to Read Fabric Cleaning Codes?
 
It is very important to know how to read fabric cleaning codes when shopping for fabric, especially if it will be used in a high traffic area. Cleaning Codes are established by the Joint Industry Fabric Standards Committee.
A8661 Peacock
Cleaning codes are represented by letters that suggest the recommended product and process for safely and successfully cleaning a particular fabric.
Greenhouse Fabrics provides our customers with cleaning specifications on all of our fabrics, in sample books, as well as on our website. For your convenience we have included a brief description for each cleaning code below.
 
DC- Dry Clean ONLY
 
W/S- Spot clean with an upholstery shampoo, foam from mild detergent,
           or a mild dry cleaning solvent.
           Do not saturate.
 
S- Spot clean only with a water-free dry cleaning solvent.
     Do not saturate or use water.
     When cleaning a spill, blot immediately to remove spilled material.
 
W- Spot clean only with a water based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner.
     Do not oversaturate or use solvents to spot clean.
     Blot immediately to remove any spilled material.
 
X- Clean only by vacuuming or light brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush.
 
Before proceeding with any of the cleaning processes above, pretest a small inconspicuous area.
 
Additional Cleaning Recommendations:
  • Clean spots or stains from outside to the middle of the affected area to prevent circling.
  • Cushion covers should not be removed for laundering or dry cleaning.
  • Hot water extraction or steam cleaning is not a recommended method of cleaning.
  • Pile fabrics may require brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to restore appearance.
  • To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing with a non-metallic, stiff brush to remove dust and grime is recommended.
  • For overall cleaning, we recommend contacting a professional furniture cleaning service.

Breast Cancer Awareness


greenhouseColorStudio IV D17& D18
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Fighting breast cancer is a cause close to our hearts as the disease has personally hit our Greenhouse family twice.
We have been affected by the pain it can cause and yet we have experienced the joy that comes with a survivor winning the battle.
For the second year in a row, Greenhouse Fabrics has teamed up with the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. 
Our goal is to raise more than $5,000 to make a difference in the lives of men and women who are fighting this disease today and to find cures to end the disease tomorrow.
Greenhouse Fabrics Making Strides Team 2014
 
Greenhouse Fabrics was happy to host the Making Strides 2015 Kick Off Event!
The Greenhouse Team decorated Breast Cancer Awareness Pumpkins for a friendly competition!

We want you to be a part of our team to fight this noble cause. 



In September, we shipped out 3,000 of our latest ColorStudio collection books. They are filled with a full range of beautiful multi-purpose prints, embroideries, and timeless wovens. These are the mill’s best sellers with a fresh approach to color and design.
20% of the sales for the month of October from these D17 and D18 will be donated to the American Cancer Society. 
Our donation and yours will make an impact in the fight to end Breast Cancer.
Join the Fight!
Think Pink!
