Instructions

    • 1

      Remove dirt, dust, debris and hair from your microfiber decorator pillows. Use a vacuum with a soft bristle attachment, or a hand vacuum. Dust and dirt will discolor your fabric over time, so it is important to vacuum your upholstery regularly.

    • 2

      Mix a few drops of a mild detergent, such as Woolite or Dove, with 1 gallon of cold water in a small bucket. Submerge a soft cloth into the bucket and wring it out. The cloth should be moist, not saturated.

    • 3

      Clean the microfiber pillow one section at a time. Gently wipe a small section clean.

      Dry the sections immediately after you wipe them. Use a hair dryer set to a low, cool setting. Once the section is dry, re-fluff the nap of the fabric by brushing it with a soft-bristle brush.
