Q: How do you get dog smell out of a microfiber couch?

• <div><p>Baking soda is a great, natural way to get pet odors out of a microfiber couch. If pet urine is the problem, you can also use a urine stain/odor removal spray (read the instructions before use) to help get rid of strong scents.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a carpet cleaner on a couch?

• <div><p>Similarly to cleaning a mattress, another common question is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-use-carpet-cleaner-couch%E2%80%8B.htm">whether you can clean a couch with a carpet cleaner</a>. Yes, you can use a carpet cleaner to clean a couch, especially if it comes with an upholstery attachment and you're using the right cleaning solution. Just like with mattresses, it&rsquo;s important to avoid oversaturating the fabric and to use products that are safe for upholstery. Always check the care tag on your couch and spot-test a hidden area before deep cleaning to avoid discoloration or damage. </p></div>

Q: How do I save money on furniture cleaning?

• <div><p>Furniture cleaning is a relatively inexpensive home project, but it&rsquo;s helpful to find ways to keep these services within your budget. Some ways to save on furniture cleaning include:</p><ul><li><p>Cleaning multiple pieces of furniture at once to save on trip fees and cleaning minimums</p></li><li><p>Using slipcovers on furniture when possible to avoid stains and dirt</p></li><li><p>Blot, never rub stains, to try to lift the mess out without spreading it deeper into the fibers</p></li><li><p>Choose easy-to-clean furniture materials</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Why is my wood furniture sticky?

• <div><p>Wood furniture gets sticky when dirt and grime accumulate on the surface. Sometimes, wax coatings and oils are the culprit, but other times, it&rsquo;s a sign that the finish is failing, and no amount of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">cleaning your wood furniture</a> will help. Varnish and lacquer can both get sticky as they age, and in this case, you&rsquo;ll need to refinish the wood to stop the issue.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain built-in furniture?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, avoid overloading shelves, and address scratches or dents promptly.</p></div>

"Horrible customer service and the product is only getting worse over time. I have ordered 16 shutters from them over 5 separate orders during the last two years. A recent order late last year came with parts missing and getting replacement parts was a hassle because I had to provide pictures. How do you provide pictures of missing parts? My most recent order arrived without the mounting strips and blocking strips being pre-drilled. I received the screws and screw covers but no holes for them. After multiple back and forth with "Angie" from customer service I was forwarded a poorly spelled response from their supplier stating "usually" they don't pre-drill holes. Usually? All of my other shutters over the last two years were pre-drilled. I was then told it was my fault because this order was a single panel shutter vs all my previous orders being dual shutters and I would have to pay to get replacement strips with pre-drilled holes in them. What does a single vs a dual shutter have to do with whether or not holes are drilled in hanging and blocking strips?"
