An appropriate upholstery shampoo and
vacuum cleaner can save you time and effort
Using Liquid Upholstery Shampoo
Apply the liquid shampoo formula with either a carpet cleaner’s handheld rotary brush attachment specially made for upholstery. You can also clean it by hand by mixing the carpet and upholstery formula in warm water and applying it with a soft scrub brush. If you’re cleaning by hand, always sponge the area with a dry towel to remove some moisture when the cleaning is done, to help the drying process. Expect a chair or other upholstered furniture to take several hours to dry fully.
If you’re cleaning by hand, always wipe the area with a dry cloth to absorb any moisture when cleaning, to help with the drying process. It takes several hours to completely dry a chair or other upholstered furniture.
Using a Carpet Cleaning Machine
When using a
carpet cleaning machine, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions and use the recommended cleaner for the particular equipment you are using.
Regardless of what type of cleaning formula you are using, it is wise to do an initial test cleaning on a ‘hidden’ section of upholstery to ensure it will not damage your fabric.
Cleaning With a Carpet Cleaner
Hand cleaning upholstery is a tedious and labor-intensive task. If you have several pieces of furniture to clean, you can save a lot of time and effort by using a
carpet cleaner that has an upholstery attachment. These can often be rented from local appliance or hardware stores.
As always, follow all directions and if possible test clean a spot on a hidden area before cleaning your entire piece of furniture.
