Wool
Sensitive to high heat and agitation. Absorbs moisture easily.
Velvet
Delicate pile fabric — never rub, only blot and brush.
Synthetic
Polyester, Nylon, Spandex. Resilient but heat-sensitive.
Denim
Heavy cotton weave with indigo dye that runs in heat.
Surfaces
Carpet
Fiber-dense flooring. Requires deep penetration.
Upholstery
Furniture fabrics. Often includes foam backing.
Wood
Varnished or untreated surfaces. Risk of warping.
Mattress
Foam or spring core that absorbs liquid. Treat with minimal moisture.
Tile & Grout
Hard surface with porous joints that trap stains and mould.
Marble
Soft natural stone. Acid-sensitive — etches permanently from vinegar or wine.
Granite
Durable natural stone. Porous but resistant when properly sealed.
Ceramic / Porcelain
Glazed surface. Highly stain-resistant but grout lines absorb stains.
Glass
