- Types of Upholstery Fabrics: Upholstery can be made from various fabrics like leather, microfiber, or cotton, each requiring different care methods.
- General Cleaning Tips:
- Vacuum Regularly: Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dirt and debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, mix a solution of mild dish soap and water. Test it on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t cause damage.
- Deep Cleaning: Use a steam cleaner or hire professional upholstery cleaners for deep cleaning, especially for heavily stained or delicate fabrics.
- Leather Upholstery Care: Use a leather cleaner and conditioner to prevent cracking and drying. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals on leather.
