that is nothing but sick. To make the best worth of your furniture, you should
not only take care of your house walls and floors but also to clean your
furniture too. Remember that, even the wrapped up furniture is also needed to
take care of!
There is some furniture cleaningtips that will help you keep your sweet home look bright, welcoming, and clean
and by this way, you will know that you have removed all the dust and dirt from
the furniture and that it will last for quite some time.
Prevention is always the best way to
solve the problem. By cleaning the dust (which is clearly visible, obviously) on
the furniture after its use, you can keep it in better condition for longer.
The first things you should do when it
is about to clean upholstered or furnished furniture is to remove its all loose
cushions and curtains. This will make things easier to clean all of its pieces
of the furniture and ensure that you have done it all the way thorough.
Then you should make sure that to
use a dusting brush to help you remove all dust from the furniture. Make sure
that you clean up the dust not only from the surface of it but also on all
other sides of the cushions, all the way down into crevices and on its back and
underside of it. This particular tip will help you to remove dust from all
surfaces of any kinds of furniture.
You will need a vacuum cleaner to
proceed to the next step. The vacuum can either be a handheld or an upright. Vacuum
the arms of the furniture and its underside, skirt, back as well as any other
piece or section. Then you should vacuum all sides of its cushions and replace
or rearrange it. You are now having all cleaned furniture to use!
There is
one thing to remember. There are few items which actually need to be cleaned,
which means to wash. To do this, you
need to use a furniture cleaning solution with warm water. You should use
upholstery shampoo (furniture cleaning solution) instead of laundry detergent
or dish detergent because many of the detergents have very harsh cleaning
agents that will affect the color and appearance of your furniture. But you
should always try or experiment the solution on a small piece of the back- or
underside of the furniture. Most furniture
cleaning solutions are safe with most pieces of upholstered furniture. If
your solution does affect the upholstery, then you may have to have the item
professionally cleaned. This is common for antique pieces of upholstered
furniture. You can use a washcloth or an old piece of clothing or fabric. Rub
the solution into the fabric and rub with it on the furniture to scrape away
all of the dirt.
If you can follow those few steps,
you can be sure to have decades-old upholstered furniture that looks as if you
just bought it yesterday. Proper care and cleaning of furniture ensures that
you get your money's worth on your investment.
