• <div><p>Without the proper cleaning techniques and products, your couch may look worn out and discolored after cleaning.

Q: How do you clean non-washable upholstery?

• <div><p>If your couch has a non-washable upholstery, you&rsquo;ll likely need to use dry cleaning products rather than foam or liquid cleaners. If that&rsquo;s the case, we strongly recommend hiring a professional upholstery cleaner to get the job done. Some dry cleaning products are dangerous to use, and those with abrasive chemicals can destroy certain types of fabric. A professional furniture cleaner will know which to use and in what quantity for a safe, deep clean.</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean a leather couch?

• <div><p>You should lightly clean your leather couch biweekly by dusting off any surface dust or debris with a clean rag. Every month do a deeper clean with a vacuum to remove crumbs or dust from between cushions. You should only condition your couch about once a year to avoid any solution buildup.</p></div>

Q: Can memory foam be washed?

• <div><p>While you can clean memory foam, it should not go through a washing machine or be soaked in water. Always clean memory foam according to the tag's instructions. That said, many memory foam items come with removable covers that can be machine washed.</p></div>

Q: Can you steam clean a mattress?

• <div><p>Yes. Steam cleaning is one of the most effective ways to clean a mattress because the heat from the steam can kill dust mites and bed bugs. Using steam that is at least 212 degrees F can also disinfect the material.</p></div>

Moffitt's Quick Lube service is wonderful. There's no apt needed, and they're quick. We've had both of our vehicles done there, and my son took his in last week. He knew he had some possible oil leakage, and they went out of their way to clean it up and try to remedy it, at no extra cost.
