Furniture Regular Maintenance
How to Maintain Furniture Between Cleanings
Drying Thoroughly After cleaning:
After cleaning your upholstered furniture, it will be slightly damp for about 24 hours and occasionally longer if you choose to apply protectant.
To speed up the drying process you can:
- Stay off the furniture
- Leave throw pillows or blankets off damp furniture.
- Place a fan near the furniture or run ceiling fans.
- Turn on your furnace summer fan.
- Open windows in summer months.
- Keep the area warm by turning up the thermostat or using the fireplace where applicable.
Contact us if your furniture is not dry within 24 hours.
FOR CONCERNS ABOUT SPOTS AND STAINS
If a stain has soaked deeply into your upholstery, it will often spread below the surface of the fabric and into the foam or batting which can create more problems as it is being cleaned. When you have any concerns about reappearing stains or residue after cleaning, please phone us.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE – HOW TO KEEP YOUR UPHOLSTERY LOOKING GREAT
Vacuum your furniture and keep it dust-free. This may seem like a no-brainer, but the truth is that not everyone knows you should vacuum their furniture regularly to avoid a buildup of dust and dirt. Of course, how often you vacuum is based on how much dust is in your home/apartment and how often that specific piece of furniture is used.
Spot clean your carpet or upholstery if you notice a small spill. For larger spills, keep in mind that professional help may be a better option. For more tips and advice, visit our Stain Guide.
