House cleaning is something that we procrastinate often. And the results achieved are not always good. When it comes to cleaning, it needs to be done on a regular basis. Otherwise, the whole task will become tougher beyond imagination. The bad part about cleaning is that accumulated dust and dirt are much harder to deal with when it settles down and causes marks and stains. Even though we will be able to get rid of the culprit, the marks and stains will remain. It will be prudent not to wait until this phase and keep a regular routine.

Apart from the regular dust and dirt, the home couches are normally prone to drink spills, paw prints from your dearest pets etc.

When it comes to upholstered furniture, extra care should be given to keep it look and smell clean.

Use a Vacuum Cleaner

Regular Care

Make it a weekly routine to remove pillows and cushions and dust the furniture. Clean dust and dirt from crevices using the proper head in your vacuum cleaner. In cases where cushions are not removable, properly clean the seams and corners using the vacuum cleaner.

Cushions are important

Treat the cushions properly with the vacuum cleaner. Turning over the loose cushions is very effective in keeping the upholstered furniture fit and fine. Treat the spots and stains as soon as possible. If removable covers are used, clean them regularly.

Use a dryer to freshen up the pillows. We can also make use of various dusting methods to keep it within the range of acceptable hygiene.

Clean Pet Hair

There is a chance that dog or cat hair gets tangled with the fabric. Do not let them settle. Try to attend this as regularly as possible. Grooming your pets can have some effect on this type of cleaning task.

Keeping your pet clean or restricting the way they use the furniture can always bring a great difference.

Baby Wipes for Cleaning

This is a Do It Yourself trick I often try for domestic needs. But make sure to try it first on an area that is less important to see how it responds to the fabric. Baby wipes work great on leather and cotton in my experience.

Types of Upholstered Furniture

Based on the material used, there are many types of wash codes available for upholstered furniture. W means we can use water, X means we cannot use water or solvents while cleaning. SW means we can use both solvents and water while cleaning. The letter S means we can make use of furniture cleaning solvents for cleaning.

Take Professional Help

It is ok if you find cleaning and removing stains difficult. Taking professional help is not a bad solution. Professional upholstery clean services are affordable and much more effective than our amateur attempts.

Affordable

Professional upholstery services are not a luxury. They normally bank on their expertise and use the right kind of tools while dealing with the furniture. Optimising the whole process will actually save a lot of money and hence give a budget-friendly solution.
