How to clean upholstered dining chairs
Top tips on cleaning upholstered dining chairs.
If you’re a parent or pet owner, your mind may boggle at the idea of having upholstered chairs in your dining room.
But, with the right tips and tricks to keep them fresh, stains and smells needn’t be a worry.
That’s why the experts at ServiceMaster Clean Leicester have put together a comprehensive guide on how to clean upholstered dining chairs.
How to remove stains from upholstered dining chairs
- Use a microfibre cloth to remove any loose debris, and then use your vacuum to remove smaller bits of debris around buttons or seams, for example.
- Check the care label on the chairs for the fabric. Some fabrics are “wet cleanable”, and some are not, so always check and, if unsure, try a cleaner in an inconspicuous area first.
- Remember to always blot and never rub any stain as this can damage the face of the fabric.
- It is always best to start at the edge of the stain and work your way into the middle. This prevents the stain from spreading.
Food Stains: For food stains, it is generally best to use an enzyme-based cleaner as this will “eat” into the stain and remove it.
How do you deodorise upholstery?
Usually, your best bet to get rid of smells is to deep clean the upholstery. This is best done by a professional.
At home, you can get some sanitising and deodorising sprays from supermarkets, which could work for you and will certainly freshen the chairs up.
For a chemical-free option, you could also sprinkle baking powder on them and leave them overnight before vacuuming the next day.
NOTE: Before you do anything with an at-home product or remedy, try the product/powder in an inconspicuous area to test before you go mad with a treatment with unforeseen adverse effects.
How can you maintain the clean look of upholstered chairs?
The best advice to care for your upholstered dining chairs (or otherwise) is to regularly remove loose debris and vacuum them.
A lint roller is also an option for the removal of loose debris.
And, of course, keep on top of any stains and have them deep cleaned annually by a professional like ServiceMaster Clean.
