Upholstered furniture cleaning can be a tricky task to do as they can get damaged easily if not treated in an appropriate way. So, here is a complete guide for upholstery cleaning in London you should consider to get the perfect clean and tidy furniture that your home deserves:
1. Start Vacuuming
The first step is to remove all the surface dust and dirt particles from your furniture pieces. Bring a vacuum cleaner and use soft brush attachments to vacuum the dust from the armrest, backrest, and cushions.
Don’t forget to look out the hidden nooks under cushions and in between sofa body as well as the armrests as these are the places that collect the most dust particles.
2. Wipe Down
Use a cotton cloth or a microfiber cloth to wipe down your upholstered furniture pieces and remove any dust that might be left after vacuuming. While wiping down, check your furniture and the problematic areas where there might be hard-to-remove stains or dirt you need to work on.
3. Clean Dirty Areas
Use a simple handmade cleaning solution – just mix equal parts of water and vinegar into a bowl. Dip a soft cloth into the solution and wipe down the dirty areas of your upholstery gently. Then, rinse the cloth to prevent transferring dirt again to the cleaning areas of the furniture.
4. Dry The Furniture
Dry your furniture with a soft clean cloth to get rid of all the traces of the upholstery cleaning solution. Make sure you remove all of them; otherwise they can cause mould to develop on your furniture.
Stain Removal Tips –

1. Grease stains –
Wipe the stain marks with clean, dry cotton, or a microfiber cloth. If you find the dried-up grease, you should remove and sprinkle the stain using baking soda. Let it sit for a couple of hours and then wipe off with a dry cloth. Don’t use water to clean off grease stains.
2. Ink stains –
