Upholstery cleaning tips and tricks

From the best way to clean upholstery, stain removal and how often to clean upholstery, check these upholstery cleaning tips and tricks to help you look after your valuable furnishings.

How to clean upholstery

We use the hot-water extraction method of cleaning for upholstery. This method cleans all types of materials very well. Similar to how clothes are washed, a good quality upholstery detergent is applied and then rinsed off. This method also removes excess detergent. Drying of the material is also quite quick.

Cleaning tips for Vacuuming

We recommend vacuuming at least every two weeks to remove dust and general soiling. Also, your couches may need vacuuming more often depending on the amount of use. Keep in mind dust settles from above so the backs of couches should also be vacuumed.

Spot Removal

For general spot and stain removal our stain chart will help. Prompt attention is always important. Especially for food or drink stains. However if your lounge suite has general soiling and stains, it may be better to simply have the whole thing cleaned.

Professional Cleaning

One of the more important upholstery cleaning tips is regular professional cleaning. Cleaning a lounge suite will keep it free from dust and grime. Regular cleaning also makes removing perspiration and staining much easier.

Dining Chairs

Dining chairs should also be cleaned regularly. Food stains can be difficult to remove. Wiping over when they first occur is important.

Dust Mites

Dust Mites need not be a problem. Firstly vacuuming is very important. Furthermore, Dust Mites don’t like light so it is important to open blinds and curtains regularly. Regular vacuuming of areas that are susceptible to dust is important. Regular professional cleaning also. Cleaning of Lounge Suites and Mattresses every year will keep these areas clean and free of allergens.
