People often say that a home is not a home without well-kept
furniture. And, of course, I agree! Dirt and stains have a thing for
upholstery. Clean them today and by tomorrow, they’re dirty again. What a
headache!
It’s very important to pay attention to the furniture in
your home. In fact, observing them will help get them cleaned as soon as
possible and even prevent permanent damage.
Without further hesitation, I’ll give you some insight on
how to keep your upholstery in pristine condition by following a few easy
steps.
Tips for Removing Spots from Upholstery
• Vacuum
Inevitably, your upholstery will begin to
wear if not maintained. If you observe any form of deterioration or signs of
dirt and stains, you need to vacuum it!
Vacuuming your upholstery helps to remove
dust and dirt that might cause further stains if they become wet.
If you have a settee, you can use an
upholstery accessory to reach crevices and corners and clean the cushions
properly.
More importantly, a pet hair remover is a
great tool to have if you have pets at home. This device will help eliminate
pet hairs.
• Blot stains and/or spills
If you have fresh stains on your furniture,
it’s important to get them removed ASAP to prevent them from absorbing into the
furniture.
As a result, you should blot the stained
area or the area where the spill occurred to prevent it from spreading. The
more you wait, the more the spill will spread, so do this quickly.
Don’t
Rub. Just Blot!Blotting the stain will just cause it to spread all over the
furniture.
• Follow cleaning codes
Before starting any form of cleaning, you
must know the suitable method(s) of cleaning. This is achieved by reading the
cleaning codes that are associated with your furniture. The cleaning codes
usually provide the best methods of removing stains
Some stains can be removed with just water,
but some will require special chemicals. If there are no cleaning codes for
your furniture, you may try cleaning an area on the furniture that cannot be easily
seen.
Use water or vinegar and Vodka to clean for
testing. If everything is okay afterward, you can use more powerful chemicals.
Verdict
Upholstery can be very expensive, so cleaning is a
must! Not only that, but it’s the only way to keep them looking and smelling
fresh and clean.
By
following the steps above, your family can continue to
dwell in the joy of having undamaged and spotless furniture in your house.
