Pro Tips for Spotless Upholstery: The Art of Spot Cleaning!

Hello Classic Care Community,

Life's little accidents happen, but fear not! Here's your guide to spot cleaning upholstery like a pro:

1. Act Swiftly: The golden rule of spot cleaning—don't delay! The sooner you address the spot, the better the chances of a clean slate.

2. Identify the Fabric: Different fabrics have different needs. Check the manufacturer's care instructions and cleaning codes (W, S, WS, X) to choose the right approach.

3. Blot, Don't Rub: Gently blot the spot with a clean, white cloth or paper towel. Rubbing can spread the stain or damage the fabric.

4. Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Before diving in, test your chosen cleaning solution in a hidden spot to ensure it won't cause discoloration and hurt the upholstery.

5. DIY Solution for Fabric Upholstery: Mix a teaspoon of mild dish soap with warm water. Apply with a soft cloth, and blot the spot. Avoid oversaturating.

6. Microfiber Upholstery Magic: Rubbing alcohol on a clean, white sponge can work wonders on microfiber. Test first and then gently rub the spot.

7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of bleach, ammonia, or any harsh chemicals that could harm the fabric. Stick to mild, upholstery-friendly cleaners.

8. Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, ensure the area is completely dry to prevent mold or mildew.

9. Professional Assistance: When in doubt or dealing with a stubborn stain, don't hesitate to call in the professionals. We're here to help!

0Effective area rug cleaning is essential to the good health of your family. Research at Duke University revealed that dust particles found in homes are capable of carrying hormone-altering chemicals that make the human body gain unhealthy weight. Amounts of dust as small as 3 micrograms are capable of causing measurable health complications for children. Dust particles contain synthetic, natural and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are inhaled, ingested and absorbed through the skin. Dust lodged in your blinds furniture or carpets could be a primary culprit for breathing problems. When you neglect cleaning for an extended period, these particle's get into the air and pollute the air quality, potentially resulting in respiratory issues long term.

Potential Health Risks Can be Avoided

Rugs can trap allergens and germs and potentially increasing the risk of an asthma attack and other issues. Sanitizing your rugs reduces allergens and removes unhealthy bacteria—all part of having a healthy home. Potential health risks that may be caused by a "dusty home" include learning disabilities, cognitive problems and weight gain. Rugs require professional care—dirt can build up in hard to clean areas.
