How to Get Stains Out of Upholstery
Total Leather Solutions > Leather & Vinyl Furniture Tips and Fact > How to Get Stains Out of Upholstery
1) The very first step and most important on how to get stains out from upholstery is to know what fabric you are working with. Fortunately most furniture will tell you that right on their tags.
W informs you that the best course of action is to use a water based solution or very mild detergent to get stains out.
SW indicates that you should spot clean the piece of furniture with either a solvent or water based foam cleaning agent.
S means that you should be able to get this stain out with a strong solvent. Be very careful when using a solvent because when used incorrectly it can lead to spotting and water stains.
X is for vacuum only.
2) The longer a spill is allowed to sit the more difficult it will be to get the stain out. It is imperative that you remove any excess liquid or soil from a spill ASAP!
3) If the fabric can be cleaned with water, use one gallon cool or warm water to about 5 teaspoons of mild dishwashing liquid. If the spill is grease or something that has caramelized sugar, your solution should be 50% white vinegar and 50% water.
4) Always test any cleaner on a hidden spot of the furniture to confirm positive results before applying to more visible areas.
5) Remember to be gentle when applying any type of cleaning solution. Whether it be water, a mild detergent or a heavy duty solvent, if you scrub the stain to aggressively it may cause the upholstery to pill.
