When it comes to upholstery cleaning, the world is both beautiful and complex recommended reading. Every season brings new challenges for furniture cleaning and condition. Understanding how to adapt your cleaning procedure to the summer’s salt and sand or winter’s moisture will help keep your home fresh and attractive all year long.

Summer is a time when we are flooded with beachgoers. Sand is all over, even our upholstery. Regular vacuuming is essential. Imagine cleaning the sand out of your car seats, before it dries. You can remove dirt and sand using a vacuum cleaner and soft brush. It stops granules penetrating through the cloth which can be as harsh as sandpaper. Consider a “no wet clothing” policy on upholstered furnishings, for example insisting that people rinse their swimwear in an outdoor shower prior to entering.

Autumn on the Northern Beaches means cold weather and more indoor activities. This is the ideal time to deep clean. Upholstery can be deep cleaned. Water and mild detergent can be used to remove dirt from summer clothes. Apply the solution to high-trafficked areas using a towel. Blot dry, as if you were scrubbing furniture after an intense summer. Also, look for special care stains. By taking action today, you can avoid a permanent residence.

Winter brings its own challenges. Wet air can lead us to mold, if we don’t take care. Regularly airing your home is essential. When possible, open windows to let fresh air in. Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture in rooms with upholstered furnishings. Mold and mildew are easier to prevent than to remediate, as is drying a wet suit following a winter surf. Fabric protectors like waterproofing gear can also repel liquids and spills.

Professional cleaning in the spring is important, as this is when you rejuvenate. They have the expertise and knowledge to remove dirt and allergens that has been deposited over winter. They can go beyond vacuums. Imagine your surfboard being tuned and oiled before the most beautiful waves. Professional upholstery cleaners prolong the life and enhance its appearance.
