Get matched with top carpet cleaners in Remsen, IA

Cleaning a leather sofa is typically easier than cleaning fabric sofas, although they do need annual conditioning to keep them in top condition. Where you can often quickly wipe down moisture-repellent leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and spills, you might have to scrub fabrics and use specialist cleaning products to get rid of ingrained grime or soaked-in stains.

In most cases, a professional upholstery cleaner will take 30 minutes and one hour to clean a single piece of furniture. Small, isolated stains could take less time, while heavily soiled couches could take up to three hours. If you have an antique piece of furniture, it might take a few hours to clean as well, as your professional needs to take greater care to make sure they don’t damage the delicate material. In any case, your expert should be able to give you an estimate for the cleaning timeline before they get started.

Our guide can also work for old tomato stains. If you’re trying to get rid of a lingering spot from spaghetti dinners past, you can skip step one and jump directly to step two. 

Pro tip: Allow soaking time for older stains. We recommend waiting at least 10 minutes between applying your cleaning solution and blotting it up.

Carpets do best with non-abrasive cleaning solutions either purchased at the store or made at home. You can apply solutions of salt, water, vinegar, or baking soda to your carpet or choose a carpet-safe cleaner. Never mix the two. In between deep cleans, vacuuming twice a week should do the trick for a clean carpet.
