Dust regularly and clean your upholstered furniture to increase the life. Dirt and dust particles accumulate on upholstered furniture like on other immobile object. It hurts a lot to see your expensive couch, or your favourite family furniture in a depreciate condition. Here are some general tips to clean the upholstery of the furniture: For upholsteries which can be taken out from the cushions, the best way is to simply remove the cover and wash it with a regular detergent. The general griminess and slight stains will be removed in this manner. The wash cycle adjusted on the machine and the detergent used should be suitable for the type of material. The cushions that are not removable should be washed with proper care. For stains on this, scrubbing the dirt out makes an option, using vacuum for shampooing will also facilitate. Modern vacuum cleaners can shampoo the upholstery without making it too wet. Professional upholstery cleaning can also be sought for assistance if the task is out of your control. Have you ever felt the bad odour emitted when the couch gets wet with food, drinks, water and urine? These liquids can penetrate into the cushion beyond the top layer. It can be easily washed if the cushion is removable. While putting it in the washing machine, extra care must be taken so that the wash does not shred the cushion. Adding vinegar is effective to remove the bad odour like that of urine. Special products are also readily available in the market which is helpful to remove the bad smell. Dust settles on upholstered furniture just as on hard surfaces, and should be removed regularly, about once a month, depending on environment and use, with vacuum cleaner attachments - the upholstery nozzle and crevice tool. A brush will remove some dust if you do not have a vacuum, but will also scatter dust around. However, down-filled cushions that are not lined with down-proof ticking should be brushed, as vacuum may draw out down. Reduce greasy soil in air by use of range hood when cooking; clean furnace filters reduce soil in air. For large removable cushions, washing can be done inside a bathtub, keep it soaked in water for long time if the dirt is much heavier. Use water hose or shower nozzle to wash it thoroughly. Squeeze it to remove the water and keep it for drying. Big irremovable smell cushions need to be cut open washed to remove the smell off the cushions. Replacing it with a zipper can be handy to remove and wash the cushion in future. Drying the cushion completely is really an important process. Preparing yourself ready to keep your couch and upholstered furniture safe is the final step for the future. Cover it up with plastic coatings. This can really help you to prevent the spills seeping inside the upholstery and the cushion. The more you care the more it remains clean attains long life.
