Questionable sofa fabric

[Sierra Clean Care]

We have had a request to clean a sectional couch. As we always do, we ask pointed questions, and try to get as much information as possible before we book the job.
This particular piece has some confusing labels. On the actual piece, it’s says to use either solvent cleaners, or HWE.
As we dug further, the client sent us this from the manufacturer….

@Jim Pemberton , can you please help me decipher this information?

I remember once cleaning a sofa, loveseat and a chair set with matching fabric. One had a solvent clean only tag, one had a wet clean only and one had an X code, meaning no cleaning expect brushing and vacuuming.

I have since understood that it is highly dependent on the upholsterer to put the correct tag on and sometimes that means whatever they have handy.

With that mix of fibers, you can expect shrinkage and buckling as each fiber will dry at a different pace if you use hwe. Solvent cleaning doesn't clean as well but might be more appropriate or a low moisture system.

That’s what I was thinking myself.
Don’t you just love it when manufacturers mix both natural and synthetic materials together?
