Q: What is the best solution to use in an upholstery cleaner?

• <div><p>The recommended solution is to use a brand-name stain remover you trust in your machine. However, you can make an upholstery cleaning solution using a mixture of hot water, vinegar, and dish soap.</p></div>

Q: How often should I have my floors professionally cleaned?

• <div><p>You should aim to have your floors professionally deep cleaned once or twice per year. A deep clean service can remove set-in stains, clean grout between tiles, address water spots or discoloration on wood floors, and make your floors look new again. For households with children, pets, or severe allergies, consider increasing the frequency to four times per year (quarterly). It's also important to perform regular cleaning, such as vacuuming and mopping, in between professional services.</p></div>

Q: Is there a difference between upholstery cleaner and carpet cleaner?

• <div><p>While they both help to penetrate tough fibers and have similar designs, there is a difference between an upholstery cleaner and a carpet cleaner. Carpet cleaners are much tougher on stains and use much more concentrated solutions, while upholstery cleaners are a bit softer on fabrics and use lighter solutions. While an upholstery cleaner may work on a carpet, your carpet cleaner might be too rough on your upholstered furniture.</p></div>
