Upholstery Care And Cleaning DIY Guide In Auckland

Upholstery care has often been equal to a good investment for many homeowners. A simple couch alone can be pretty expensive. Likewise, specially designed shades or blinds give an attraction to the home. Indeed, it should be kept in its best condition.

Residential & Commercial Upholstery Cleaning Service

Your furniture means a lot to you, so why not call a professional like Steam n Dry Upholstery Cleaning Auckland Services? With a standardised catalogue and safe, professional methods.

Now and again, you probably notice a spot on your furniture and tackle it using a household upholstery cleaning service. Covering up unsightly stains on your table is often quick and easy, making it helpful most of the time.

The hot steam cleaning service is better than soap or other cleaning agents. It is applied to the upholstery via low-pressure spray, loosening embedded dirt and cleaning the material, removing germs and bacteria. The emulsified soil is then disposed of, leaving just the extraction water, which dries quickly and without any residue.

General Upholstery Care Guidelines

  • Keep upholstered furniture away from direct sunlight to avoid fading—the essential upholstery care to remember.
  • Vacuum furniture as often as possible. Even if your upholstery does not see much use, the abrasive action of dirt and dust particles can wear the fibres. For high-use upholstery, it is good to beat the cushions frequently. Then, vacuum and rotate them.
  • Damp dust arms and headrest areas with a cleaning solution to prevent body oil accumulation on the upholstery fabric. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation regarding the type of upholstery cleaning solution and the National Carpet Cleaners Association.
  • Avoid placing newspapers directly on upholstery since the ink will accumulate and is difficult to remove. Never cover your upholstery with dark-coloured blankets or sheets. The dyes can rub off your upholstery when dry or bleed when wet.
  • Avoid dyes, paints, inks, and nail polish on or around your upholstery since these substances can and will alter the colour of your upholstery. It has caused a permanent stain or discolouration.
  • Never remove cushion covers for dry cleaning or machine washing even with zippers.
  • The periodic professional cleaning will keep soil accumulated from marring your upholstery’s beauty.

Everyday Upholstery Care

  • Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the recommended cleaning products.
  • Try to plump and turn cushions daily. Some pillows lose their volume naturally over time. Daily plumping will help them last longer.
  • Remove dust weekly with your vacuum’s upholstery or drape attachment. Try to avoid brushing fabric covers as that can damage the pile.
  • Have fixed cover fabric suites professionally cleaned at least once a year?
  • Ensure all covers on loose cover suites are cleaned simultaneously to prevent colour variations.
  • If you spill something on your upholstery, blot up the excess immediately. Try to avoid detergents that may damage the fabric. If you have any doubts about how to care for your furniture, seek the help of upholstery cleaning service professionals.

Making It Last

  • Try to keep your furniture away from direct heat or air conditioning.
  • Light affects the colour of fabrics and leather. Therefore, avoid overexposure to sunlight if you don’t want your furniture to fade.
  • Open and close recliner mechanisms with care and never force them.
  •  Regularly wipe them with a slightly damp cotton cloth and mild soap to keep leather sofas looking new.
  • Try not to leave newspapers lying on your suit. The ink can stain the cover.
  • If you have a light-coloured suit, consider that colour from denim jeans or non-colour tight dark clothing that can transfer to your furniture. It can cause discolouration.

Taking care of upholstery should be integral to your daily cleaning schedule. If neglected, there’s a strong possibility that the fabric may get damaged or stained so severely that it might become impossible to fix.
