How to Clean Crypton® Fabrics

There is nothing unusual about the normal care of Crypton®. Like any beautiful textile, Crypton® must be cleaned on a regular basis. Since dirt and dust build up on fabric, vacuuming regularly is advised.

Cleaning Liquids

Most spills can be easily cleaned with cotton. Just wipe up the spill with a clean cotton towel. Please follow directions for solid or dry stains (below) if a residue remains after wiping.

Solid or Dry Spills

Remove as much of the dried stain as possible with a dull flat knife. By removing the majority of the stain, there is less of a chance the staining agent will be rubbed into the fabric as it is cleaned. In many cases, this process will remove the stain. However, if the stian is still present, proceed with wet cleaning treatment below.

Wet Cleaning Treatment

For most stains, simple ;make a paste using equal amounts of an enzyme powder detergent , such as Tide® of Cheer ® and water. Apply the solution to the stain. Allow the solution to remain for at least one minute (max. 5 minuses) to allow the detergent to begin removing the stain. Then, scrub the area with a nylon brush. After scrubbing, the area needs to be rinsed thoroughly using a sponge and clean water. Water will not affect Cyrpton ®, so please use it liberally. Remember to rinse the soap completely because the fabric will look and perform it's best when all the soap is removed. Then, dry with a clean cloth. Any remaining moisture (set spot) will evaporate in a short time. Please remember, with Crypton®'s water barrier, the foam will not become wet in the rinsing process. For some oil based stains and ink, you should pretreat the area with rubbing alcohol.

Steam Cleaning

Steam cleaning is an ideal method of thoroughly cleaning Cyrpton®. Spots can be removed by pre-treating them with either the soap solution mentions above or a pre-treatment solution from the steam cleaning company. Most solutions provided by these companies are acceptable for Cyrpton® fabrics.
