DM Carpet Cleaning Lists What to Avoid When Cleaning Your Upholstery

Don’t Oversoak Upholstery: When it comes to cleaning carpets and especially upholstery is to ensure that you do not cause any damage. One thing that many people do when they try and clean their couch or sofa is use of water. The water can be mixed with other solutions and sprayed on the area that needs cleaned. The problem is that when you use too much water and oversoak the area that you are trying to clean mold and mildew can start to grow. These are not good for your health and you want to avoid it at all costs. If there is too much moisture in the couch or cushion it will have a hard time drying out and that is when the mold and mildew will start to set in. Be sure to use any moisture sparingly.
What Cleaner are You Using on Your Fabric Sofa?: When you are ready to clean an area on your clothes, carpets or upholstery you need to use caution when choosing a cleaner. The wrong cleaner can end up causing damage to the material that will be hard if not impossible to repair. You want to be sure that you have the correct cleaner and you can do that by calling the manufacturer to ask about their recommendation. If you are not sure about what cleaner to use it is best to call out a professional to do the cleaning for you. They have the proper technique to ensure that the job is done right.
Always Spot Clean Couch Stains: You also want to make sure that you do a spot check before you get started on the cleaning process. The cleaner that you choose to use may cause damage and it is best to test it out on an area that will not be seen. If there is not any damage done you can continue cleaning the couches, sofa, chairs and other upholstery.
