Taking Care of Upholstery

Taking Care of Upholstery

The upholstery in your home is unique. It is different from any other surface in your home and needs to be cleaned and treated differently. The regular household cleaners you keep on hand or DIY cleaners you've discovered how to make from the internet might not be as good of a source for cleaning upholstery as you thought.

Because upholstery is well used and well-loved in a home, here are some tips on how to take care of your upholstery in a way that will help extend its life so that you can keep loving it for years to come.


Vacuum Your Upholstery Frequently

Vacuuming couches and other upholstered furniture can seem like a lot of work, but it is worth it! So much dust and crumbs get stuck down in the furniture's cracks and can cause the upholstery to wear faster if not cleaned frequently.


Rotate and Fluff Your Sofa Cushions

This is a clever way to avoid fast wear and tear. If you think about it, you likely sit in the same place every time you sit on your couch. Simply rotating or flipping and fluffing your sofa cushions and pillows will help to spread out the wear caused by daily use, and hopefully give your upholstery a longer life!


Place Your Upholstery Away from the Sun's Rays

As the sun shines on your upholstery, it can shorten the lifespan of your furniture. To avoid this issue, try placing your upholstered furniture in places where it isn't constantly sitting under the sun's rays.


Clean Up Messes Quickly

As soon as something spills or makes a mark on your upholstery, tend to it right away. When a spill happens, dab it out rather than rubbing. Rubbing out a spill will cause extra wear on the upholstery. For bigger accidents, it is smart to call a professional cleaning service to fix the mess. They are likely trained on how to carefully clean the thin fabric on your upholstered furniture. They may even be able to apply a fabric protectant to help lessen the damage caused by future accidents.



What Upholstery Cleaner Should I Use?

Our biggest tip here is that you don't apply soap to your upholstery! Many cleaners contain harsh chemicals and soap that can damage your couch's fibers and leave the stains looking bigger and brighter than they did before. That's why it's important to know what you're putting on your upholstery and, more specifically, how to make your couch cleaner. When searching for something to clean the fabric with, make sure it doesn't include any form of bleach or color damaging agents. Each piece of furniture is different and will require some investigations before making a firm decision. Make sure to read the tags and labels to ensure you aren't using something that will harm it. For example, some couches are water-resistant and can only be cleaned with a solvent-based cleaner. Ensure that you do your research, so you don't end up with an even worse looking accessory.
