Not many may be of the same opinion but it’s true that upholstery cleaning remains one of the most undermined aspects of domestic maintenance.

However, deep-cleaning of upholstery is an important exercise, and today we will document a few dos and don’ts of cleaning upholstery.

Do read on in order to be duly guided.

Dos of Upholstery Cleaning

Professional upholstery cleaning in Brisbane is required even when your ottomans, chairs and tables look spick and span on the surface. It however, must be remembered that beyond that clean surface are layers of dust or dirt, not visible to the naked eye. So, the very first responsibility of yours would be to ensure that you are actually paying due attention to deep cleaning of upholstery. The places where you tend to kick back and unwind the most are more vulnerable to gradual wear and tear. If dust ends up settling deep in the fabric (these areas) then the regular light vacuuming process is rendered almost useless.

You may not really be aware of the same but let us tell you that most of the upholstered furniture sets do come with specific instructions. The cleaning directions will inform you whether or not you should use detergents for cleaning. If required do inform the professional cleaners about these instructions.

Make sure that you are always investigating the credentials of the professional cleaners before getting them on board. What kind of services is rendered by them? Upholstery cleaning? Bond cleaning? Carpet cleaning in Brisbane by Yours Bond Cleaning? For how many years have they been offering these services? What kind of reputation have they ended up earning? 

These are the questions that you should seek answers to before getting in touch with cleaners. Seek personal recommendations as well.

Don’ts of Upholstery Cleaning

Do not end up committing the commonest mistake of undermining the significance of professional upholstery cleaning. We have already told you that the professionals can help you get rid of the dust and dirt from the most obstinate pockets of the furniture. Moreover, there are certain units that need special types of chemicals that are primarily available with the professionals. So, don’t even think of not resorting to their services.

Do not ignore the need for spot cleaning. If you are doing that you are unwittingly allowing the stain to settle on the fabric. Do not let it happen! It gets more difficult to get rid of the stain later on. Do ask your manufacturers about the quick cleaning measures and act in accordance.

Do not ignore regular vacuuming. Please remember that both regular vacuuming and professional cleaning are necessary for longer life of upholstery. Do not ignore light vacuuming just because you have got your upholstered furniture professionally cleaned just the day before. Continue doing what you have always done all these years – i.e. vacuum cleaning the sets every day.
