Tips to protect your upholstery from dust
- Use arm and headrest covers to protect the areas against early build-up of soil from skin and hair. You can also cover your seats with seats covers to protect them from body oil.
- Keep upholstery as dry as possible in order to prevent damages. For quick drying, open windows or turn on an electric fan or an air conditioner in the same room.
Upholstery cleaning and stain removal tips
- If you ever need to spot clean a piece of your upholstery, be sure to use very little water. Avoid getting your upholstery wet for this will encourage mold which is unhealthy.
- In case of any food or drinks spillage on your upholstery, wipe or blot immediately to avoid staining.
- Ensure that your precious furniture don’t become baby cots for this can lead to unnecessary staining and even odors.
- Keep pets off. It may be nice to snuggle up with your pet while watching movie. This contributes to the soiling of your upholstery. Pet’s fur or hair has tones of oil in it letting them on to the furniture means that the oil will transfer onto the upholstery fabric making it dirty.
- Vacuum clean your furniture at least once every week. This will prevent dirt and sports from working their way in the upholstery.
