"When no one locally even responded to my inquiries for a quote, Michelle got back to me the same day with a quote and description of how the repair would be done. It's a slight downside to have to ship one glove coast to coast for a minor repair on one finger. But the cost of shipping and the repair is much less than purchasing another $100 pair of gloves! The repair took a little longer than anticipated, but shipping time had to be factored in as well. Michelle was very prompt with communications during the process. Cost of service below did not include shipping which was about $16 round trip. The glove returned good as new...well as good as it's pair. The glove is two years old. But the seam was totally resewn and reinforced. Michelle stated she did not want to the issue to happen again. I hope it won't. The problem started with my fingers rubbing. Very happy with the service from Premier. I wish they had a shop in Maryland!"
Upholstery Cleaning questions, answered by experts
Furniture cleaning is a relatively inexpensive home project, but it’s helpful to find ways to keep these services within your budget. Some ways to save on furniture cleaning include:
Cleaning multiple pieces of furniture at once to save on trip fees and cleaning minimums
Using slipcovers on furniture when possible to avoid stains and dirt
Blot, never rub stains, to try to lift the mess out without spreading it deeper into the fibers
Choose easy-to-clean furniture materials
Upholstery seems easy to clean in theory, but it gets complicated when you consider how many cleaning designations there are for different kinds of fabrics. While some couches can handle a liquid cleaner, others require foam cleaners, and some should only be cleaned with dry cleaning products to prevent damage. It’s usually best to hire a professional upholstery cleaning service to ensure your couch gets appropriately cleaned and doesn’t get damaged in the process. Professional furniture cleaning is relatively affordable and easier on the wallet than replacing a damaged couch.
In most cases, yes, you can save a mattress that a pet or child peed on. You have two options: begin a DIY mattress cleaning process immediately or call in a professional to disinfect and clean the area. In either case, the goal should be to clean with a liquid cleaning solution and then remove the moisture using towels and baking soda. A professional cleaning service may also use enzymatic cleaners to break down the urine, which will help avoid stains and lingering odors.
No, you won’t be able to deep clean a couch without an upholstery cleaning machine, although it’s certainly possible to keep up with everyday furniture cleaning. The water extraction process is what allows the fibers of the upholstery to be thoroughly cleaned, which is something you can’t achieve by surface cleaning alone. If you don’t have a machine, you may find that professional upholstery cleaning is worth the cost.
To get urine smell out of a fabric couch, mix equal parts water and white vinegar. Gently dab the solution on the affected spot and let it sit for a few minutes, then blot it dry. For stubborn smells, especially if your pet likes to pee in the same spot, it’s a good idea to hire a professional cleaner versus choosing the DIY route. A pro can use an upholstery steam cleaner to get the dried urine smell out of the fabric.
