Who hasn’t spilled coffee on their couch, or had a dog claim the spot with muddy paws. You’ve probably had to deal with some messy situations if you live in North Shore. Upholstery Cleaning North Shore is not the only place where you can make some common mistakes. Let’s talk about some of the most common mistakes and how to avoid them, more info!
You can dive right in without testing your cleaner
Have you ever grabbed a cleaning product and thought “This should work”? Keep your cool. Most people don’t bother to do a patch-test. Spraying immediately, they are shocked to find a large discolored area. It is important to test on a hidden, small area before spraying a larger area. This is your safety net to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Over-Wetting Fabric
Right? No, sir! Mildew and unpleasant smells can result from over-wetting. The water may seep into the cushion, creating a breeding ground for mold. You’ll be best off using a light touch and minimal liquid.
Skip the vacuum
You think you can scrub it away? Pump the brakes. It is important to vacuum the dirt and debris that are on the surface. You will end up with a muddy couch if you don’t vacuum the dirt and grime.
The Wrong Cleaning Agent
Not all cleaners work the same. Some cleaners are too harsh, and they can harm delicate fabrics. Keep it away from upholstery if it’s not made for it. If in doubt, opt for natural. When in doubt, a simple mixture of water and mild dish soap often works wonders.
Rub Stains Vigorously
You have a stain on your clothes? Great. Rub it as if there is no tomorrow. Scrubbing vigorously can worsen the stain, spreading it and pushing it further into the fabric. Be gentle. Be gentle.
