Upholstery Cleaner North Shore makes some of the same mistakes as you. We’ll talk about the most frequent mistakes, and ways to avoid them – important link!
Tossing in your cleaner without first testing it
Have you ever thought, “This will do the trick”, when you grabbed your cleaner? You need to be patient. Many people never bother with a spot test. The sprayer is horrified when they see the discoloration. Test on a small area hidden first. You can use it as a safety net in case of unpleasant surprises.
Over-Wetting The Fabric
You’re right. More water will make you cleaner. No, sir! Overwetting can cause mildew or unpleasant odors. Water may seep deeply into the cushion and create an ideal breeding ground mold. Your best bet is to use minimal liquid with a light-handed approach.
Skipping the vacuum
Think you can just scrub them away? Pump the brakes. Vacuuming the surface is crucial to remove dirt and debris. If you try to remove the dirt without using a vacuum, your couch will look muddy.
You Are Using The Wrong Cleaner
It’s time to be honest: not all cleaners have the same quality. Some are harsh and can damage delicate fabric. If it’s not designed for upholstery, it should be kept away. When in question, choose natural. A simple solution of mild dish detergent and water can do wonders.
Rub Stains Vigorously
Do you have a stain in your clothing? Great. But rubbing like there’s nothing tomorrow is not a good idea. Scrubbing too hard can worsen stains, spreading them out and pushing them deeper into the fabric. Be gentle. Blot the surface lightly.
