Last time, we looked into ways to continue to keep your
upholstered furniture clean. Today, we’re going to talk a bit about how to
handle unexpected spills. We mentioned the need to act quickly – this is the
best chance you have of beating the stain before it actually becomes a stain.
When you have a fresh spill on your upholstered fabric, you
don’t want that to soak in to the furniture. Spills can affect the fabric, the furniture
stuffing, and the wood of any piece. The first thing to do when a spill occurs
is to blot – don’t scrub! – the spill with a white cloth as quickly as
possible. This will lessen the spread of the stain and keep it from setting in
a larger area.
Blotting is probably the most crucial step. After that, you
need to know what type of upholstery cleaner to use on your fabric. This will
depend up on the material and the type of stain. If you’re not sure, the best
thing to do is to test your upholstery stain remover in an inconspicuous area
to make sure it won’t harm the color.
When you have the perfect upholstery fabric, it’s important to
know what to do to keep it clean.
