How to Clean Dura Fabric

Vacuum Dura suede-type fabrics -- DuraPella and Duraplush -- weekly using the upholstery attachment to remove surface soil, lint and pet hair. Routinely wipe down Durablend leather-blend fabric with a damp, soft cloth to remove the same.

Blot any spilled liquids, such as water, juice or soda, immediately with a soft cloth or paper towels. Press down firmly and hold the soft cloth or paper towel on top of the spill for a minute or so to allow the moisture from the spill to be absorbed. Repeat until no more moisture is absorbed.

Clean all spots and stains on Dura fabrics using a mild, low pH water-based soap. Dampen a clean, soft cloth or sponge with water and a small amount of water-based soap. Don't saturate the fabric with water. Blot the stain or spot repeatedly with a clean area of cloth until the entire soiled area is completely clean.

Use a foam upholstery cleaner on Durapella or Duraplush fabrics as an alternative to water-based soap. Spray the foam lightly over the stain or spot and let it sit, following the manufacturer's directions as to how long to let the foam sit. Blot the stain away using a soft cloth or sponge until the stain has been removed.

Let all Dura fabrics air dry after cleaning. Durapella and Duraplush suede-like fabrics may take a bit longer to dry than Durablend leather-blend fabric.

Brush Durapella and Duraplush lightly with a soft-bristled microfiber or suede brush after cleaning to restore the fabric pile to its normal appearance. Durapella fabric doesn't require brushing after cleaning.
