If you’re not sure how to clean parts of your home, you need to get in touch with
Chelsea domestic cleaning services to lend a helping hand. But in the meantime, here’s our quick guide to getting your upholstery as clean as possible and as easily as possible as well.
Vacuum
You might think your vacuum cleaner is just meant for the floor but it’s especially useful where upholstery is concerned as well. If it’s looking dirty or there’s a stain, give it a vacuum first to remove any dust or dirt. Use an upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner
to give it a thorough clean.
Blot quickly
If there’s a fresh spill or stain, make sure you tackle it as soon as you can as you don’t want the liquid to soak through into your sofa cushions or to set into the fabric. It can also have an effect on wood, so clean it up as quickly as you can. Do not scrub or rub the spill as this can make it worse.
Washing
If the upholstery can be removed from the cushions or chair, do so and run it through the washing machine. If not, use some warm water and some washing up liquid, and use a soft upholstery brush to address the stain. Focus on small sections and don’t press down too hard. Once you’ve covered the affected area, wipe the fabric down with a damp cloth, then let the upholstery dry.
Follow these tips and you’ll have your upholstery clean in no time. But don’t hesitate to give a professional cleaning company a call if you need some extra help.
