Always pretest your upholstery before cleaning!

Furniture

To keep your upholstered furniture clean and looking its best at all times, weekly vacuuming is important, especially on the cushions. Routine vacuuming will prolong the life fo the fabric as well as extend the time between  professional cleanings.

If at all possible, keep furntiure out of direct rays of sunlight. The ultraviolet rays of direct sun will fade any fabric. Never brush fabric with a stiff fiber or steel brush which may distort the fabric. If cushions are reversable, reverse their position each week when vacuuming them.

Upholstery spotting must always be done with caution. Pre-test the product you use in an inconspicuous place on the back of the furniture to make certain there will be no damage. In the SERVPRO Spotting Kit, there is a Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner that will give you excellent results. Be sure to pretest it.

Drapes

The routine care of your drapes is relatively easy since they do not receive the same physical treatment your carpets and furtniture do. Vacuuming the drapes on a scheduled basis is the most important job you can perform. Dust particles in the air adhere to the drapery material more rapidly than sometimes meets the eye. On days when hte air is dry, a static charge will build up in your drapes which attracts dust particles at a considerably higher rate.

If you have any questions about how to clean and maintain your carpets, drapes, or upholstery, call SERVPRO ofDeSoto, Tate, & Tunica Counties at (662) 349-6500.
