Where Endurepel works best
Residential seating, office seating, hospitality seating, and contract upholstery where easy cleanup and moisture resistance are important.
Confirm the exact fabric first
Many Endurepel Shield product sheets list cleaning code W, meaning water-based cleaners or foam. Always confirm the code on your exact fabric before cleaning.

A safer way to clean Endurepel upholstery.
Start with the gentlest method, rinse thoroughly, and let the fabric dry fully before judging the final result.
Routine care
Vacuum or brush gently to remove grit before it gets embedded into the upholstery.
Clean spills as soon as possible while the finish is actively repelling the mess.
Use water-based cleaning agents only when your exact fabric carries cleaning code W.
For full-piece cleaning, stay within the fabric's cleaning code and supplier sheet.
Immediate spill response
Blot away excess liquid or mess with a dry, clean towel.
For common water-based staining, use a mild soap-and-water solution and work gently from the outside inward.
Use a soft brush only if needed and blot frequently with a clean towel.
For most Endurepel Shield fabrics, keep the cleaning process water-based unless the supplier sheet says otherwise.
Stubborn stain care
For heavy oil-based staining, use mild detergent promptly as Ennis recommends.
If your fabric is water-cleanable, repeat the water-based process before escalating to specialty upholstery products.
Where supplier guidance permits, a professional upholstery cleaner can be used for more stubborn water-borne soil.
Allow the fabric to dry completely before judging the final result.
Cautions
Do not assume all Endurepel fabrics clean the same way; the product sheet and cleaning code control.
Do not use aggressive brushing or harsh chemistry without confirming compatibility.
Test all methods in a hidden area first.
Stop cleaning and contact the supplier if the finish, color, or hand changes unexpectedly.
JL Upholstery can use the supplier cleaning code, finish type, and end-use to help you choose the safest maintenance approach before you clean.
