For many people, their couch is one of their best friends. It is where they indulge in their midnight snacks, binge-watch all of their favorite Netflix shows, or take their long-awaited Sunday naps. Your upholstery is a breeding ground for bacteria and germs and it absorbs dirt and dead skin cells. If you want your best friend (your couch) to be with you for the long haul, pay attention to these five tips to help take care of your upholstery!
Tips For Taking Care of Upholstery
1- Vacuum Upholstered Furniture Often
Vacuuming your couch cushions and upholstery regularly will help prevent all that dirt and gunk from burying themselves too deep into the fabric fibers. You would also be surprised at how much popcorn, chips, and crumbs are hiding in the cracks. Regular vacuuming will help keep your couch cleaner longer.
2- Rotate and Fluff Couch Cushions
Your couch cushions can lose their plumpness over time. They can dent easily in all the areas that get sat on most. To help prevent the dreaded dent, and keep the plumpness of your cushions, rotating and fluffing them will go a long way!
3- Clean Up Messes and Spills Quickly
We get it; spills happen! As soon as it happens, grab a clean washcloth and dab at the mess as soon as possible to keep the spill from soaking deep into the sofa. Quick spot treatment is key when it comes to preventing stains.
4- Avoid the Sun's Rays
When arranging the layout of your furniture, make sure you position your upholstery away from direct sunlight. The sun's harsh rays will likely sun-bleach the fabric, consequently ruining it quicker and permanently.
5- Find the Best Upholstery Cleaner
There is such a variety of different upholstery fabrics. From microfiber to silk, from leather to velvet, every type of fabric needs to be cleaned differently. If you do not know how to clean a couch, do not throw on the first couch cleaner you find. To keep your couches from getting ruined, couch cleaning requires some research. What could work wonders for one type of upholstery, could, unfortunately, ruin another. Many cleaners also contain harsh chemicals that can ruin, discolor, and leave behind chemical residue on your fabric.
