Now let’s get right to business. First, vacuum at least once a week. Dirt likes to lurk between the seams and folds, and once it settles, it’s harder to sort. Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum to quickly look around the nooks. If you have kids or dogs, you might want to vacuum twice a week because fur and crumbs tend to build up overnight.
Always clean up spills as soon as they happen. Instead of rubbing, blotting will help keep stains from spreading deeper into the material. It’s advisable to use plain white cloths because colored ones could bleed. Check the label on the fabric to see if it says “W,” “S,” or “WS.” “W” fabrics can be cleaned with water-based cleaners, whereas “S” stands for safer solvent-based treatments. “WS” gives you the freedom to chose. But believe me, test any cleaner on a hidden place first; it will save you from finding a strange stain right in the middle of the seat!
The sun is a quiet enemy; too much direct light will make the colors fade. In the brightest hours, try drawing shadows. Rotating your pillows helps one part wear out completely.
Let the air out of your room often. Good air flow keeps everything fresh and fights mold. If you smoke or have a dog that likes the rain, an air purifier can change the smells that are left behind.
Don’t let things get messy. If you leave blankets, toys, or books on chairs for days, they might leave stains on your fabric. In short, clean surfaces wear down more evenly and are easier to clean.
In the end, keeping that neat, clean look is primarily about having good habits and reacting quickly. With a little knowledge and the correct tools, your North Shore upholstery will keep looking great long after the pros have taken their tools and left.
