Upholstered Furniture 101: Stressful Stains

Carpet Cleaning

From couches and loveseats, to upholstered chairs and ottomans- fabric covers a decent portion of your home. If you have kids (and/or pets) you know how hard it can be to keep those surfaces clean (and dry!). Fortunately, our expert technicians here at The Steam Team, have the tools they need to remove any stains from upholstered furniture. Today, on our blog, we wanted to share some tips to keep your favorite furniture from being stained:

Leave Your Shoes at the Door

Let’s start with something simple: shoes. Sometimes it can be helpful to leave dirty, sandy, and muddy shoes at the entrance to your home. Don’t give those feet a chance to dirty up your furniture! Leave your shoes at the door, and start seeing results right away in how frequently you have to vacuum, or clean up stained furniture.

Don’t Bring Food Around Furniture

Secondly, let’s instill this policy: if it belongs in the kitchen, let’s just leave it there, friends. Food and drink spills happen all too easily around our furniture, and account for most furniture stains! This is most important when it comes to those kiddos- we know they’re cute, but they definitely can’t be trusted with food around the fabric.
