by Who hasn’t had their dog muddy-pawed claim a spot on the couch after spilling coffee? North Shore residents are likely to have dealt with a number of messy incidents. Upholstery cleaning North Shore can be a tricky business. You’re not the only one who makes these mistakes. Let’s discuss the most common blunders, and how you can avoid them, read this!
Do Not Test Your Cleaner Before You Start Cleaning
Ever thought to yourself, “This cleaner should do the job”? Hold your horses. Many people do not bother with a test patch. Many people spray immediately and are horrified to see a huge discolored patch. Never, ever, and I cannot stress this enough, test first on a small hidden area. This is your safety-net against unpleasant surprises.
Over-Wetting of the Fabric
More water equals a cleaner house, right? No, sir! A stale mattress can cause mildew, which is unpleasant to smell. If water seeps deep into the cushion it can create a perfect breeding ground for mould. The best thing to do is use a minimal amount of liquid and a light hand.
Vacuuming without Vacuum
Do you think that you can simply scrub the dirt away? Pump your brakes. To remove the dirt, debris and dust that is sitting on top of the car’s surface, vacuuming is necessary. Vacuuming the couch will give you a dirty mess instead of a clean one.
Use the wrong cleaning agent
All cleaners are not created equal. Some are too harsh to use and may damage delicate fabrics. Avoid anything that isn’t designed for upholstery. When in doubt go natural. Simple mixtures of water, mild dish soap, and other ingredients can often work wonders.
Rubing Stains Violently
Have you got a stain to remove? Great. It’s a bad idea to rub it vigorously. A vigorous scrub can spread the stain and push it deeper into fabric. Be gentle. Blot lightly.
