We all have the experiences of accidentally spilling our morning coffee onto our armchair, leaving some mud on the bottom of the couch or our children dropping chocolate crumbs on the car upholstery. Therefore, cleaning upholstered furniture may be part of your cleaning routine. Compared with other cleaning experience, upholstery cleaning could be a bit tricky as it cannot be removed from furniture. However, it can still be polished effectively with the following easy tips. Sparkling and Beyond will share with you tips on how to clean upholstery furniture and car seats so that your upholstery can be polished and spotless again!
It is advised to vacuum your upholstery furniture once per week. This will make the furniture free of dirt constantly and also be easier for you to deep clean the upholstered furniture. Firstly, take off the throw cushions and bring them outdoors to give them some gentle hit to remove any dust or grime. Next, attach the vacuum with upholstery attachment and hoover the surface of the upholstery furniture in a slow sweeping motion. The upholstery attachment can work on furniture made of fabric. If the furniture is made of leather, use the brush attachment for the vacuum to avoid scraping the appliances. After this, install a crevice tool to the vacuum and hoover any corner of the furniture. Finally, put back the throw cushions and the vacuuming is done!
You can try the following methods of how to clean stains on upholstery. Make sure to check the label instruction from the manufacturer to make sure the cleaning methods are applicable to your furniture. Also, remember to always dab the surface gently to clean instead of firmly scrub it as this may only move the dirt further into the upholstery or damage the fabric.
For the velvet upholstery, try to remove any grime with a teaspoon. If the surface already has a guard treatment, simply vacuum the furniture to wipe off the grimes and use a white microfiber cloth with warm water to clean the spots. After this, let the appliances dry out themselves as heating devices can damage the velvet.
Similar to velvet upholstery, use a teaspoon to remove the grime first. Following this, soak a clean cloth and gently dab at the spots repeatedly to polish them. This dabbing process may take a longer time based on the size and how dirty the spots are. Remember not to rush it by firmly mopping the stains as this can only make the dirt go further inside the linen. If the specks were more unyielding or you encountered liquid spills, you could apply a little soap or cleaner while dabbing off the stains. As linen is a delicate material, a little soap will be sufficient.
You can use baking soda to do the job perfectly. Simply put some baking soda onto the spots and wait for a few minutes to let the white powder take effect. After this, vacuum the baking soda away and dab the stains with a wet cloth until they are fully clean. Finally, let the furniture dry out by itself.
