 Upholstery care is a much neglected feature of home or business cleaning in Las Vegas. Upholstery gets dirty like everything else in your home, and proper maintenance is essential to its longevity, as well as its aesthetic value. Nothing can substitute for a professional Las Vegas NV upholstery cleaning, but we are providing some upholstery cleaning tips so you can keep your upholstery in tip top shape between professional cleanings.
One very important decision you need to make when buying furniture in Las Vegas is what kind of household you have. If you have kids or pets, you will want more dirt resistant fabrics. Synthetic fabrics are perfect for this because resist dirt and certainly last much longer than natural fabrics.
Keeping the dust from settling on your furniture should be one of your top priorities, and one way to do that is to lightly brush your furniture at least once a week so the dust does not settle into the fibers. Another great way is to reverse the cushions every week. This will keep the fibers from being pressed down constantly, and in a sense allows the cushions to 'rejuvenate' themselves, i.e., spring back into shape.
Another way to keep dirt off your furniture is to simply cover them. You can purchase throw over pieces that are washable, and are cheaply replaced. Another way is to have plastic covers made for your furniture; this method has fallen in favor in recent years, but many still choose to go this route because it makes the fabric on your furniture virtually indestructible.
Cleaning spills as soon as possible is very important in the care of your upholstery. It certainly helps that most upholstery comes pre-treated with stain resistant chemicals, but that treatment doesn't do the entire job. You must make sure that as soon as a spill occurs, you get it sopped up; but don't rub on the spot, just take a folded tower and lay it gently on the spill. The water repellant treatment will hold out for a couple of minutes, so don't waste time. |
One thing that is usually overlooked is vacuuming your upholstery. Vacuum cleaners don't come with an upholstery attachment for nothing, but practically no one uses them. |
Possibly the worst thing you can do is allow your furniture to set in the direct Las Vegas sunlight for long periods of time. You see what it does to the dashboard on your car, imagine what it is doing to your upholstery.
