ITEMS THAT HAVE A LINING

Any item with a proper lining such as curtains—should be dry cleaned. The normal water cleaning process alone can damage linings. The dry cleaning process is more delicate on such structures and therefore should be used for lined items.

Household leather and suede items such as cushions that have been stained or soiled should be taken to the dry cleaners. This will reduce the likely hood of damaging the fabric in any way or avoid major shrinkage.
