Upholstery Maintenance, Cleaning, and Stain Removal
With the appropriate care, your upholstered living room, dining room, and
bedroom furniture can provide many years of splendid use. By carefully following
the upholstery maintenance, cleaning, and stain removal information provided
below, you can greatly extend the lasting beauty of your home living room, dining
room, and bedroom furniture.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Follow the simple guidelines below to keep all your upholstered furniture
looking like new.
- To avoid fading, keep upholstered home furniture away from direct sunlight.
- Vacuum upholstered furniture as often as possible. Even if your home
furniture has seen little use, the abrasive action of dirt and dust particles
can wear the fibers of your upholstery fabric. For high-use furniture, it's
a good idea to frequently beat the cushions and then vacuum and rotate them.
- Damp-dust arms and headrest areas with a cleaning solution to prevent
body oil accumulation on the upholstery fabric (be sure to follow the manufacturer's
recommendation as to the type of upholstery cleaning solution to use)
- Avoid placing newspapers directly on home furniture upholstery fabric,
since ink will accumulate and is difficult to remove.
- Never cover your upholstered home furniture with dark-colored blankets,
sheets, etc., because the dyes can rub off onto fabric when dry or bleed
when wet.
- Avoid the use of dyes, paints, inks, nail polishes, and mercurochrome
around your upholstery fabric, since these substances alter color and will
stain.
- Never remove cushion covers for dry cleaning or machine washing, even
though they have zippers.
- Periodic professional cleaning will keep soil accumulation from marring
the beauty of the upholstery of your home living room, dining room, and
bedroom furniture.
UPHOLSTERY CLEANING - FIRST AID
You've just spilled a glass of wine on your living room sofa—what do
you do now? It's important to act promptly but not to panic. Follow these
guidelines to control a spill and prevent a stain. Act quickly before a spill
spreads or dries.
For liquid spills:
Blot lightly with a dry paper
towel to start. Increase pressure and use a fresh paper towel until no more
liquid is absorbed. DO NOT RUB! If residue remains, see the stain removal
guide below.
For solid or semi-solid spills (such as foods):
Gently lift the substance from the upholstery with a spoon or dull knife,
scraping carefully toward the center of the spill. Treat any wet residue
as a liquid spill. If residue remains, see the stain removal guide below.
For dry spills (such as ashes or dry cosmetics):
Adding any liquid to a normally dry substance, such as ashes, may cause
a permanent stain. Vacuum, beat the area with a ruler or similar implement,
vacuum again, and then use the adhesive side of masking tape to remove any
residue. If residue remains, see the stain removal guide below.
Check the manufacturer's label for any cleaning instructions and/or
fabric cleaning code.
The following are the standard fabric cleaning codes used by furniture manufacturers.
Use these codes to determine what types of cleaning methods are appropriate
for your fabric:
Standard Fabric Codes
|
S - Use mild (water-free) cleaning solvent |
W - Use water-based cleaning agent |
WS - Use water-based cleaning agent, or use mild
(water-free) cleaning solvent |
X - Clean ONLY by vacuuming or light brushing |
More Upholstery Cleaning Tips
Always test water or a cleaning agent by applying to the same upholstery
fabric on a hidden area of the upholstered piece. Allow to dry completely,
and then check its effect on the fabric.
Apply water or a cleaning
agent (as recommended in the stain removal guide) in small doses to avoid
spreading the stain or causing a ring. Be patient; apply several times,
blotting firmly with a dry paper towel to soak up the liquid after each
application.
Never rub a fabric; rubbing could result in damage to
the nap, loss of color, or spreading of the stain.
Restore the nap on
velvet by brushing gently before it dries.
To avoid water spotting,
use a fan or cool blow dryer (on a cool setting) to accelerate drying.
Dry from the outer edge of the affected area toward the center. If the
stain persists, seek professional cleaning assistance.
