We've all done it before-- it's Monday night football with the guys and those wings you've been eating are suddenly all over the recliner after your signature touchdown dance. First there is that moment of sheer panic, followed by frantic scrubbing with an entire paper towel roll before you finally realize that there is no way you are getting that stain out yourself. Before you call in the experts at Freeman Carpet Cleaning, here are some helpful tips for self-removal of stains.
- Get there fast-- one of the most effective ways of eliminating a stain is to start treating it fast. By gently, but firmly blotting right away with a wet towel, you can begin to pull a spill out of your upholstery before it sets.
- Have a strong upholstery cleaner handy-- at Freeman, we carry several chemical stain removers that can help. Just test the chemical on an inconspicuous corner of your upholstery before you apply it to the stain to check for possible bleeding.
- Know your fabric-- different types of upholstery require different methods of cleaning due to sensitivity and composition. Suede, for instance, will require a very different cleaning approach then cotton. By reading the factory label on your furniture, you can gain a better understanding of what each piece requires for cleaning.
