Stay away from using window cleaners and other harsh cleaning solutions on antique wood—or any wood in your home for that matter. The pH of the cleaners can break down the finish and permanently damage and stain the wood below. Even when it comes to more durable areas, such as when cleaning your baseboards, only use cleaning solutions that are safe for porous materials. 

The best steam cleaner depends on what you need to steam clean. The most consumer-friendly option is a steam mop for hard-surface floors, like tile, which is particularly effective at cleaning the grout. While you can use a steam mop for other things, a canister steam cleaner is more versatile in what it can clean, helping you tackle windows, counters, and even your car. A handheld steam cleaner is your best bet if you’re looking for a more portable solution to get into hard-to-reach places.

It’s not necessary to tip an upholstery cleaner, and it’s usually not expected by the professionals in the industry. However, tipping between 10% and 20% of your total cleaning cost is a nice gesture and a good way to show your appreciation. You might consider tipping if the cleaner gets a particularly stubborn stain out without damaging the material, or if they go above and beyond to clean an antique piece of furniture using special methods to keep your furniture safe from damage.

The cost of furniture upholstery cleaning is $175 on average but can range from $75 to $350 or more. The material of your furniture is a significant cost component of this project. 

Fabrics like wool, cotton, and polyester are cost-effective to clean, ranging from $100 to $300. However, materials like leather will cost more, ranging from $200 to $500 on average. Additionally, the item's condition will impact the cleaning cost. Lightly soiled upholstery takes less time to clean and falls toward the lower end of the price range. In contrast, deep cleaning heavily soiled upholstery will be a higher charge.
