Common Upholstery Cleaning Questions

By: James Carlson

If you have upholstered furniture like most of us do, you might be unaware of what exactly you need to do to take care of it. Most furniture is trouble free but there are some things you should know. Read this article and get some of the answers to the most commonly asked upholstery questions.

One of the biggest questions asked is, "My upholstery has zippers, can I wash them myself." The answer to this is usually no. Although some fabrics can be washed successfully it would be risky to do so. The reason that your couch has zippers on the cushions is so that the manufacturer can get a better fit. They can get a tighter fit with a zipper as opposed to sewing.

Another common question is, "What method of cleaning is the best." Generally speaking, hot water extraction cleaning is the best thing for upholstery. It is very thorough and capable of flushing out the most soil. It can not however be used on all types of upholstery. Some upholstery might require dry cleaning or low moisture cleaning. Most carpet cleaners are capable of all methods of upholstery cleaning.

One more question asked is " Will my furniture look new again." The answer to this is no. You need to go into this with reasonable expectations and furniture is only new once. Having said that, it is possible for upholstery to look like new after cleaning. This depends greatly on the style of fabric and the amount of use it has seen. Ask your carpet cleaner what to expect.

The final common question is, "How often should I clean my furniture." This depends greatly on the use of the piece. If it is put under normal use, once every two years should be fine. If it is used heavily you might want to clean it every year.

I hope this article has helped answer some of your upholstery questions. If you have more questions you should call a local carpet cleaner who will be more than happy to answer them for you.
