Cleaning Furniture Fabric

Upholstered furniture requires occasional cleaning and regular care in order to remain looking its best. Just as you wouldn’t skip washing bedding or shampooing carpets
Weekly Maintenance

Don’t ignore your furniture until it’s obviously dirty and in need of a thorough cleaning. Vacuum your furniture on a regular basis. Remove the cushions and use the appropriate attachment to vacuum away crumbs, dust, and other debris. Also, vacuum the fabric with an upholstery attachment or brush it with a soft bristle brush. Doing so will help keep the furniture clean and bright.

Furniture cushions are like the tires of a vehicle. They should be rotated on a regular basis to extend their use. If possible, move the center cushion of a couch to another location, and rotate the other cushions as well to alternate wear and tear. Doing so will help your upholstered furniture wear evenly and last much longer than if you never moved or flipped the cushions.

Refreshing Cushions

Do your cushions smell a bit stale or musty? Give them a breath of fresh air by placing them outside. Simply remove the cushions, and place them in an outdoor location away from birds and other natural hazards. Flip them so each side airs out sufficiently, and leave them outside for several hours if possible. The cushions will smell fresh and clean like breeze-dried laundry.

Annual Cleaning

If your upholstery is labeled safe to clean but you don’t have upholstery-cleaning tools, don’t pay for an expensive rental. You can clean fabric furniture simply and easily using the following cleaning method.
