Fabric upholstery

Print this tip

All furniture needs to be regularly dusted with a soft cloth or vacuumed to maintain it, but a deeper clean is dependent on what its made from.

Lost twenty cent coins are not the only thing you can find between the cushions and seats on a couch. You’ll also found plenty of dust and the occasional odds ‘n sods.

To keep your chairs, sofas and couches in tip top shape you should remove all cushions when cleaning. A quick once over with the vacuum or dust buster will get rid of any unwanted bits and pieces hiding in the crevices.

Fabric gets dirty and while there are do-it-yourself solutions for spot cleaning stains, a thorough steam clean once every two years is recommended. Call in a professional to do sofas, carpets and rugs at the same time.
