Once in a while, people in the Pittsburgh, PA area can stain their beloved upholstery and may be unsure as to how to clean it. With these helpful tips, upholstery cleaning can be a breeze. The first step to cleaning any upholstery is to vacuum it to remove any dirt or debris that could be in it. Follow that by checking the label to ensure you\u2019re using safe and approved cleaners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first step is vacuuming. It\u2019s important to vacuum frequently to help keep the upholstery in good shape and to prevent crumbs and debris from falling into the crevices. Make sure to thoroughly vacuum the cushions as well as the nooks and crannies to remove any crumbs or debris. If there\u2019s a stain, vacuuming can reveal how bad the stain actually is as well as possibly make it slightly better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After vacuuming, check the upholstery\u2019s cleaning tag to determine what kind of cleaning chemicals can be used safely on the upholstery. Most types of upholstery can be cleaned with water, but for some, it\u2019s best to use only approved cleaners. Some pieces of upholstery, like antiques or vintage furniture, may lack cleaning tags. For these it\u2019s best to spot-clean on a hidden area of the upholstery in case the cleaner isn\u2019t effective or causes unwanted side effects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After these two steps, it\u2019s time to move on to the cleaning process. In this phase, if the upholstery can be cleaned with water, we recommend adding a little dish soap to create a simple solution and using a wrung-out sponge to blot-clean stains. Blotting is best because rubbing at a stain can push it deeper into the upholstery and damage the fabric.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After phase one, if the stain has endured, it\u2019s best to move to phase two. In this phase, if the gentle cleaners didn\u2019t work, it\u2019s time to break out the heavy-duty cleaners. When using a stronger cleaner, it\u2019s recommended to spot check it in an inconspicuous spot to prevent ruining the look and feel of the upholstery.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unable to remove the stain after all these steps, you\u2019ve have encountered a tough stain. If this is the case, it\u2019s recommended to repeat the above steps. This usually works to help remove even the toughest of stains.<\/p>\n
