Upholstery Cleaning

Upholstery Cleaning Can Be Complicated
As the years go by, your couch and other piece of furniture are likely to get dirty. Even if you do your best to keep stains off of the furniture in your home, like just gets in the way sometimes. Whether it is from a major spill or just gradual wear and tear over time, you will get to a point where you need to clean your upholstery in order to bring back some of its previous luster. However, even if you have the motivation to clean all of the furniture in your home, you may not have the necessary tools or experience to get the job done right.
Washing the upholstery on your couches and other furniture pieces is not as easy as washing your t-shirts and jeans. You can’t just take the fabric off of your furniture and toss it into the washing machine – well, technically you could, but that would not be a great idea. Submerging your upholstery in water could change its size permanently, meaning it might not go back onto your furniture in the same way that it came off.
Do-it-Yourself for Small Jobs
If you just have a couple of small stains on your couch that you would like to remove, you can probably handle that task all on your own. A quality spot-cleaning product will usually do the job, as long as it is compatible with the material in question. To be sure you aren’t going to damage your furniture when using a new cleaning product, try to ‘test clean’ a spot that is out of sight. If the cleaner changes the color of the fabric in some way, you won’t have damaged the visible part of the piece of furniture. Hopefully, the cleaner will be a good fit for your job, and you will be able to go ahead and use it on the stained spots.
Overall Cleaning Requires a Pro
The best choice for a full cleaning of your upholstery is simply to turn it over to a professional.
