If you have ever uttered the phrase, “this is why we can’t have nice things” then this blog is for you! Purchasing furniture for your home is a big investment and it is an investment that you want to protect. Whether you spend a few hundred dollars or tens of thousands of dollars on your furniture, keeping upholstery clean is probably a top priority. Day to day living can take its toll on even the most expensive and well-made furniture. But, if you protect your investment and properly clean it, it can last for many years. Certain types of fabric are easier to clean than others but whether you, your pet, or your children spill on your furniture, cleaning it without causing further damage or staining is no easy task. If your furniture is upholstered with a natural fabric or fiber (such as cotton or linen), cleaning with minimal moisture is of the utmost importance because moisture and drying can cause the fabric to brown, lose color, lose its shape, or cause other types of damage. For this reason, investing in a steam cleaner for cleaning your upholstery is a great idea.

Moving into a new home is a fresh start so don’t let it be diminished by odors and stains – steam clean your new home before moving in for the fresh start you want!
