Maintaining Your Upholstered Furniture In Between Professional Cleanings

Furniture is just one investment we make in an effort to make a house a “home.” From sofas to chairs, mattresses and other upholstered items both indoors and out all should be maintained to preserve them. Much like carpets and rugs, furniture can collect dirt and debris . Some examples are food crumbs and stains, sweat, dander, dust, pet hair and/or allergens, human hair and skin and bacteria from pets or other sources. Even if you’re a meticulous housekeeper, it is important to hire a professional Tampa upholstery cleaning company offering deep upholstery cleaning that seeks to protect and preserve your investment.  Most ‘basic” upholstery cleaning services in Tampa Bay focus on surface cleaning. World Class Services Inc provides furniture cleaning services that focuses on getting the deep down dirt that is often overlooked. If you do not regularly maintain your home’s furnishings in between professional upholstery cleaning services, we’ve provided a few tips below to help you do so.

Dry Brush or Vacuum Your Furniture

Frequent vacuuming of your upholstered furniture is something that helps to reduce allergens such as dust and dander. If you eat on your furniture, be sure to remove any crumbs or food debris that can cause bacteria and other issues if not removed. Depending on the fabric, you can use a brush attachment to gently loosen dirt and debris for a deeper cleaning.

Prevent Sun Damage – Your Upholstered Furniture & Florida’s Rays

In Florida, the sun can and does reek havoc on our furniture. Keeping your upholstered furniture out of direct sunlight can help to preserve your investment. If you are unable or unwilling to do that, you can use throws or covers to mitigate the damage that sun can cause.

Spot Treating Stains on Furniture

Spot treating stains can be helpful however we do not offer tips on solutions or methods for spot treating  here.  What may work for one upholstered piece, may ruin another. Following the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions is important. If you notice a WS cleaning code, this means it can be cleaned with dry or wet solutions but the type of solution you use will be crucial. If you have questions about a stain or treating a stain before we can provide professional upholstery cleaning and stain removal services, reach out to us.

WARNING: AN X CLEANING CODE MEANS THAT YOU SHOULD CALL A PROFESSIONAL TAMPA UPHOLSTERY CLEANING COMPANY FOR HELP. THIS HOLDS TRUE FOR A VARIETY OF FABRICS AND COLORS, SUCH AS LIGH OR WHITE FURNITURE AND NATURAL FIBERS.

Flip The Cushions

Flipping your sofa or chair cushions can help with uneven wear and tear. We suggest that you flip your cushions and pillows every few months. If you require sofa cleaning services or chair cleaning services in Tampa Bay, reach out to WCS for services.

Washing Your Couch or Chair Cushions

Unless suggested by manufacturer, those zippers are not so you can remove and wash, but rather in case you decide to re-upholster your furniture. Washing your couch cushions is a terrible idea. To keep your furniture clean and in great shape, it is always highly recommended to use a professional upholstery cleaning service. Doing so, will ensure that your fine furnishings stay that way and do not get ruined. Having half of your sofa turn into a faded, damaged or crinkled mess as a result of removing and washing by hand or in the washing machine just isn’t worth it.
