From time to time customers throughout Bristol and Bath come to us with an upholstery cleaning disaster. It might be an over expressive guest spilling a glass of wine or a young child rubbing tomato sauce into a sofa cushion.

But no matter what caused the accident the question is always the same – what is the best way to clean my sofa and ensure the mark doesn’t stain?

While we are happy to come and help you with any upholstery emergencies you may be having, we realise that not everybody out there is based in Bath or Bristol and may still be interested in a few upholstery cleaning tips.

So from our years of experience we have pulled together a quick upholstery cleaning process that we hope you find useful…

1. The first part of the cleaning process is the preparation and for this we use the vacuum cleaner. Make sure to give your sofa a good hoover before you move onto any of the additional steps. This helps make sure any dirt, grime or pet hair (if you have furry friends) has been removed.

2. If you or somebody else in your house has had a fresh spill the next thing to do is blot and blot quickly. Remember blot rather than scrub or rub and use only a white cloth and some warm water.

3. After vacuuming away any excess debris or dirt and blotting the stain the final step is to apply the stain remover itself.

However please remember that modern sofas are made from any number of different materials so if you aren’t 100% sure the stain remover you are using is suitable for the fabric on your sofa apply a small squirt to a part of the sofa that is easy to hide.

If you have followed these steps and can still see the stain or would rather leave your upholstery cleaning to a professional firm get in touch with Master Cleaners Bristol and Bath today.
