Why does my couch look dirtier after cleaning?

• <div><p>Without the proper cleaning techniques and products, your couch may look worn out and discolored after cleaning. This happens when you use too much water or soap, or use the wrong cleaning product for your couch’s fabric. To avoid an unsightly couch after cleaning, double-check that you’re using the correct amount of an approved cleaner along with the proper techniques.</p></div>

Q: What is the best thing to clean antique wood with?

• <div><p>Depending on the type of finish on your antique wood, the best cleaner is usually gentle dish soap or detergent heavily diluted with water. In more extreme cases, you can break down mildew with a carrier oil and distilled white vinegar. All in all, take as much care of antique wood furniture as you would when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-and-maintain-hardwood-floors.htm">cleaning hardwood floors</a>.</p></div>

Q: What should not be used on leather furniture?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to avoid using furniture polish, any oil-based cleaners, varnish, ammonia, and cleaning solvents. Other harmful materials include chemicals like acetone or alcohol, which can cause severe damage to your couch.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you leave pee on a mattress?

• <div><p>Leaving pee on a mattress for an extended period of time will make it harder to remove the moisture, increase the likelihood of unappealing stains forming, and make the urine odor linger for a longer time. Ideally, you should start cleaning a urine-soaked mattress immediately. You can start by spraying a 1:1 solution of white distilled vinegar and water over the stain and then blotting it out. Then, sprinkle baking soda over the affected area, let it sit for 8 to 10 hours, and then vacuum it out. If the issue persists, you might need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-mattress.htm">dispose of your mattress</a> and replace it.</p></div>

Q: What if the dirt doesn’t come off the furniture with the vinegar, water, and dish soap mixture?

• <div><p>Sometimes you will need a stronger cleaning solution to thoroughly clean furniture before painting. It&rsquo;s best to start with a mild solution to avoid damaging the surface, especially if it is an antique piece. If you need to use a stronger mixture, try a commercial cleaner or mineral spirits. Before applying any solution, do a test patch on an inconspicuous area so you don&rsquo;t risk damaging the finish.</p></div>

The carpets were left soaking wet. It took 48 hours for my carpets to dry. They told us that, but still to come in and have water squish up when walking on them is pretty disconcerting. My upholstery was done at the same time, it was the same thing and I could not sit on my upholstery.

We just purchased a home and needed it cleaned before painting and moving in. A three person crew came and cleaned the baseboards, windows, floors, inside cabinets and bathrooms. They saved me so much time!
