Keeping your Upholstery Clean

Like anything else in your home, your upholstered furniture requires cleaning. But do you clean your furniture as regularly as you should?  With the appropriate care, your upholstered living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture can provide many years of use.  By carefully and frequently cleaning your upholstery, you can greatly extend the lasting beauty of your home living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture.  The best way to maintain your upholstered furniture is by cleaning it on a regular basis.  Fresh stains should be blotted up immediately with a sponge or towel, but they should never be scrubbed or rubbed as it may cause irreversible damage. 

It is recommended that you clean your upholstery every 12 to 18 months.  If you have formal upholstery which is not used regularly, it may not need cleaning as frequently as upholstery in a family room which is used every day.  Regardless of how often your upholstery is used, you should never wait until it appears dull and soiled before having it professionally cleaned.  And remember, gentle vacuuming and immediate spot removal is the best way to maintain your upholstery in between professional visits.
