Complete Guide to Upholstery Maintenance

Your furniture is one of the most used items in your home, yet it's often overlooked when it comes to cleaning. Proper upholstery maintenance can keep your furniture looking new and extend its lifespan.

Regular Vacuuming

Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum your upholstery weekly. This removes surface dirt, dust, and pet hair before it becomes embedded in the fabric.

Check Fabric Care Labels

Always check the care label on your furniture. Different fabrics require different cleaning methods. W (water-based), S (solvent-based), WS (water or solvent), and X (vacuum only) are the most common codes.

Professional Cleaning

Professional upholstery cleaning should be done every 12-18 months, or more frequently if you have pets or allergies. Professional cleaners can safely remove deep-seated dirt, stains, and allergens without damaging the fabric.
