Vacuuming Furniture
- Check for loose buttons and threads, weak spots in the fabric, or debris that could clog the vacuum.
- Clip threads and repair or tighten buttons before vacuuming.
- Use the soft brush attachment on the vacuum. Be sure to keep it
clean and free of oily residue. Or, buy two of these attachments and
label one for use only with upholstery.
- Use a crevice tool for corners and tight spots.
- Important Tip: Read and carefully follow the furniture manufacturer's and cleaner label directions before applying any product to upholstery.
- Deep-clean upholstered furniture every year or two, depending on the use, color, and pattern. Commercial cleaning, do-it-yourself cleaning, and foam cleaners all work.
- Do not soak the fabric or furniture structure with upholstery cleaners.
- Remove all soap residue to avoid attracting dirt to the clean upholstery.
