Things To Keep In Check In Maintaining And Cleaning Upholstery

When it comes to cleaning and sanitizing one’s home, dealing with upholstery has earned a reputation for being a tiresome and challenging task. Other people even find cleaning their upholstered furniture intimidating. And this also goes with other home furnishings such as the mattress and drapery. 

Because of this reason, mattresses, upholstery, and drapery are not cleaned as regularly as they should. As a result, the accumulation of dust, animal dander, allergen, and dead skin cells places a huge risk to anyone’s health. Cleaning your upholstery should not be a difficult task if you take the time to do regular maintenance. 

Let us go through a few tips to keep your upholstery and other fabric-made furnishings looking clean, new, and well-maintained. 

Check Your Upholstery’s Tag

Often, upholstered furniture comes with a tag describing which type of cloth it is made of and a few washing directions as well. Make sure to follow how it should be cleaned and, if applicable, the types of products to clean it effectively. This information can also be found in the label of your upholstery. It is fundamental to be aware of the best way to take care of your furniture so you can be able to extend its life.

Routinely Dust And Vacuum Your Upholstery

Create a schedule when you can do a thorough dusting and cleaning of your upholstered furniture. Do this regularly to keep your home pieces clean. If you are using sofa covers for your upholstery,   replace them regularly to avoid dirt and other particles from accumulating- which can trigger an allergic reaction.

Address Spills And Stains Immediately

For accidental spills, especially the ones that stain, make sure to address them immediately. Avoid letting it sit in your upholstery for too long. If you have a fabric cleaner, clean the area of the spillage as quickly as you can. This way, you get to prevent the spill from staining your furniture. It also makes it easier to lift the stain up once you decide to conduct further cleaning.

Multi-Surface Cleaners May Be Harmful To Your Upholstery

While multi-surface cleaners are useful for some furniture pieces, it may not be suitable for your upholstery. The chemicals may affect the quality of the textile in your furniture. It’s best to go with fabric cleaners, which are safer to use for upholstery. 

For A Deep Clean, Have It Regularly Maintained By A Professional

Make it a habit of having your upholstery deep cleaned at least every four to six months. The same can also apply for your mattresses, drapery, carpets, and other furnishings with textiles. A professional can provide deep cleaning that is otherwise impossible without the right equipment.
