Years ago I went on a flexsteel tour with a group of inferrior dessacrators (I was looking at becoming a member of their group,) in the final assembly area a young lady was applying the cleanability code tags, in her station all she had was S tags, When I asked why they only had 1 tag, I was told that was the only one they used at this time due to a lawsuit where the W/s tag was put on the wrong fabric and they had to pay alot out to get out of it and this way with the S tag won't hurt any of the fabrics they used.

At the next dessacrator meeting I was asked to explain about the tags. I also explained in my experience 98% of Flex Steele fabrics were wet cleanable. this other 2% was specilty fabrics required to complete the special orders from dessacrators like them and how they were mislabled.

We also have a national furniture chain that only has "S" labels for solvent cleaning on all their furniture.

I clean furniture for them, including the franchise owners personal furniture.

He is well aware that in the past I only hot water extracted the furniture, even though the label say's not to.

They put it on, not because it's the best clean, but according to them, it's the safest.

:roll:

Now you can tell the home owner to leave the room so your "toxic chemicals" dont kill them. :lol:

Almost every piece of furniture we clean has the "S" label on it. We clean them with hot water all the time. We never have a problem. The "S" stands for safe....not clean!

Talk about a "left handed compliment".....

Nice that they recommend professional cleaners, not nice at all that they mention that we use "toxic products"

I don't think they are saying WE use toxic compounds but that many cleaning agents, even the one's that they may use are toxic.
