Sharing some of the self-used steps for cleaning upholstery.

With these steps, you can pick yourself up on stubborn stains to help you remove those tough upholstery.

Step 1: Before going to clean your upholstery check for its care label which you can find on its backside. Read all the instructions given for its cleanliness and maintenance. You are lucky if you found out that the upholstery covers and cushions are hand wash. Otherwise, call the expert. For washing at home, use lukewarm water for light-colored fabric and cold water for dark-colored fabrics.

Step 2: Use the cleaning solvent which is perfectly made for your upholstery fabric. Some solvents leave marks on the fabric and to avoid the mistake, go for a spot test. Every solvent is not 100% fool-proof.

Step 3: Before beginning the cleaning process, gather all the equipment which you will need in the cleaning process. Equipment like a wet/dry vac, brush, liquid dish wash, bucket, water supply, and electric power, etc. If you will have all the things needed for cleaning the process will be easy to carry on.

Step 4: Use pre-vacuuming to remove any dirt particles or dry solids before giving spot treatment. As the dry and loose particles are easy to remove before dish treatment.

Step 5: Make sure to not tear the fabric of your upholstery while the cleaning process. Extract the soil from the surface of the upholstery from every corner.

Step 6: The loose dust particles are washed away with clean water. As the already loosen particles get along with water otherwise there are chances it can stick on the upholstery without the extraction process.

Step 7: Special liquid dish washes are then applied onto the surface. Read all the ingredients and labels on the backside of the dishwasher bottle to ensure it is made for your fabric only.

Step 8: Using a clean and soft bristle brush, scrub lightly the upholstery in one direction. Avoid using a hard brush as it may tear the fabric and damage your upholstery.

Step 9: With the help of a neutralizer maintain the pH balance of your upholstery as it will keep your fabric soft and fresh.

Step 10: Let the fabric dry by itself or use high voltage fans that can make your task easy.

Step 11:Look for any remaining spots or dirt and repeat the process if necessary.

“Add-on: Try to clean your upholstery once in two months. Clean it immediately after your house party or you sprinkle liquid or food on the upholstery.”
