REUPHOLSTERY

Homeowners invest a lot to ensure that their homes will look good. They invest in furniture to complete the comfortable feel of their homes. In order for the furniture to last long, it is important to give it the proper cleaning and maintenance it deserves.
Upholstered furniture is among our favorite. This is because we can choose the different colors we want that will go well with our interior. This makes it essential to learn how to clean upholstery. Keeping the furniture clean will help increase its life. In addition, you will be safe from dust and other forms of dirt from the furniture.

Cleaning your upholstery is not that difficult. Here are some tips to help you out:

1. Vacuum it as often as you vacuum your carpet. This will prevent the dust from setting deeper in the upholstery. It will make your monthly deep cleaning routine easier as well.

2. Remove all removable cushions when cleaning. See to it that you vacuum all its side, from the back to the front, and under the cushion. You can use a handheld brush with gentle ends to loosen the dirt from within. Vacuum it right away so that the dirt would not spread.

3. Clean spills and visible dirt immediately. Do not wait for the liquid spills to dry. Just like in carpets, blot as much of the liquid as you can. The longer the spill stays on your upholstery, the more difficult it is to clean. The moisture from the liquid can also damage the fabric that is why blotting as much of the liquid off is ideal.

4. Test commercial upholstery cleaner before using it on the furniture. Keep in mind that cleaners contain harsh chemicals. Test them first in the unnoticeable portions of the upholstery. Observe if there is any discoloration or fading. Keep in mind that there are different types of materials; cleaning leather upholstery requires different cleaner compared with ordinary fabrics. If there is discoloration or fading, stop using the cleaner.

5. Always use soft clean cloth when removing the stain. This will ensure that you will not damage your upholstery. You can also be sure that you are not transferring more dirt to the upholstery than you are removing it.

You do not have to do thorough cleaning on your upholstery every day. Just vacuum it at least twice a week and schedule a deep cleaning once in every two months. Just make sure that you remove the stain as soon as you see it. This will make it easier.
Cleaning your upholstery is not as difficult as it may seem. Just see to it that you have the right cleaner and the basic knowledge to deal with the furniture.
