How to Look After Upholstered Furniture

Upholstered furniture takes on dust, dirt and general wear over time, even with careful use, and a bit of ongoing care can help it stay in better condition between professional cleans.

Everyday Care

• Vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment
• Deal with spills as soon as they happen, blotting rather than rubbing
• Rotate cushions where possible to even out wear
• Keep fabric furniture out of direct, prolonged sunlight where practical

When to Call in a Professional Clean

If everyday care is not enough to keep a sofa or chair looking and feeling clean, a professional upholstery clean can help. As with carpets, results depend on the fabric type and the nature of any staining.
