Keeping your upholstery clean not only enhances the look of your home but also extends the life of your furniture and contributes to a healthier living environment. At AquaSweep, we understand the intricacies of upholstery cleaning, and our team of experts is here to share some valuable tips and insights..
Understanding Your Upholstery
Before diving into cleaning, it’s crucial to know the type of fabric your upholstery is made from. Common materials include cotton, linen, leather, and synthetic blends, each requiring specific cleaning methods to avoid damage. For example, leather needs gentle cleaning solutions and regular conditioning to maintain its suppleness, whereas synthetic fabrics can often handle more robust cleaning agents.
Regular Maintenance
Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming is essential to remove surface dust and dirt. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to avoid damaging the fabric.
Spot Cleaning: Address spills immediately by blotting (not rubbing) with a clean, dry cloth. Use a mild detergent solution for stubborn stains, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
We Recommend using our own Professional Spot & Stain Remover. To order one, give us a call.
