Ah, a couch that sparkles! What do you call a spot which is now a bit lighter, or, worse yet, darker? The most common reason for discoloration when cleaning upholstery is one site link. Upholstery Cleaning North Shore has become more of an artwork than a mere science. With the right tips, you can maintain your furniture’s vibrant appearance.

To begin with, know your fabric. Various fabrics respond very differently to different cleaners. Imagine what happens when strong cleaning agents hit microfibers. Not pretty. Follow the cleaning instructions listed below before starting. As if you were reading the latest novel, read all labels. You can do a simple patch test if you feel fancy.

There are also cleaning products that can be a minefield. The golden rule of cleaning is to be gentle. It may be a great multi-surface cleanser, but the discoloration it leaves behind is not what you want. Fabric solutions are better. North Shore is home to some fantastic eco-friendly products that do this without turning the colors into mud.

The sun can cause upholstery damage. The sun fades colors faster than we can ask “Who moved our couch?” When sunlight streams through your window, the colors will fade. Consider strategic placements of curtains or even UV film on your windows that will keep the colors as vibrant as an outdoor picnic. The final wildcard is water quality. In fact, not all water has the same qualities. Minerals in water with a high mineral content tend to leave streaks or patches in places you don’t want them. Soft water, and even well-dried areas, can protect you from these kinds of unpleasant surprises. North Shore Residents, check out your water source.
