I am happy with the result. It had been a long time since I'd had my carpet cleaned and I didn't have great expectations about how well the result would be. There were a couple of pretty tenacious coffee stains in the carpet that didn't come completely out. But overall I am pleased with the...

Carpet Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The best tools and solutions for getting stains out of a carpet depend on the type of carpet. Heavier and more durable materials like wool can withstand steam cleaning, while more delicate materials like jute may get damaged. In those cases, it’s best to immediately address the stain using a mixture of water, vinegar, and baking soda or use a commercial stain remover that’s safe for your carpet. In many cases, the best way to remove a stubborn stain and avoid damage in the process is to call in a professional floor cleaner for assistance.

Use arm caps and rotate seat cushions to prolong the life of your microfiber couch and maintain it after cleaning. Remove dry spills using a vacuum and brush, and consider increasing regular cleaning if the sofa is heavily used or if somebody in the home is sensitive to allergies.

To remove mold from fabric that’s part of your wood furniture, the best option is to take the fabric off and place it in the washing machine. If you cannot take the fabric off, it helps to move the furniture out into the sun. Use a high-quality vacuum to remove any mold spores that are present. You can try spraying the mold with a 50/50 vinegar-water mixture. Hydrogen peroxide is also a possibility for removing mold from fabric, but it could damage certain types of fabric.

Steam and vinegar are excellent cleaners, but it’s best not to put vinegar in your steam cleaner unless explicitly approved by the manufacturer. If you don’t dilute the vinegar properly, it can damage the steam cleaner, and using a non-approved cleaning solution in the machine can void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Vinegar is acidic and makes a great cleaning agent for many items throughout the house, including some upholstery. It should not be used for any upholstery with the code S or X. It can be used for W labels. To use a vinegar solution, mix equal parts water and vinegar and blot the stain using a gentle circular motion with a clean microfibre cloth and then allow to dry completely. As with any DIY solution, test a small and inconspicuous section first.
