Q: Should you tip an upholstery cleaner?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not necessary to tip an upholstery cleaner, and it&rsquo;s usually not expected by the professionals in the industry. However, tipping between <b>10% and 20%</b> 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.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for a couch to dry after being cleaned?

• <div><p>The time it takes your couch to dry after cleaning will depend on several factors, such as fabric type, cleaning method, room temperature, and humidity. Dry time can be as little as <b>one hour</b> or as long as <b>24 hours</b>. You can shorten drying time by using a fan, opening a window, or using a dehumidifier. Just make sure not to sit on your couch until it&rsquo;s completely dry, otherwise it may become moldy or leave an odor.</p></div>

Q: What happens if I don't clean my mattress?

• <div><p>If you don't clean your mattress, it can become host to thousands of dust mites. These microscopic critters commonly cause indoor allergies in the U.S. An uncleaned mattress can also take on foul odors, stains, pet dander, and bacteria. Mattress cleaning removes these contaminants and creates a fresher, more hygienic sleeping environment.</p></div>

Q: Can I use bleach on my cushions?

• <div><p>Not all outdoor cushions can stand up to the harsh chemicals in bleach. Outdoor cushions are made to be weatherproof and withstand harsh UV lights. Bleach can weaken those properties and ruin your furniture.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove cloudy film from a wood table?

• <div><p>A cloudy film on top of a wooden surface usually means either the incorrect cleaner was used or there is polish buildup. You&rsquo;ll need to start over again and remove the surface cleaner with a damp rag and some water and dish soap. Be careful not to leave the wood surface wet as this could cause water damage. </p></div>

"Horrible customer service and the product is only getting worse over time. I have ordered 16 shutters from them over 5 separate orders during the last two years. A recent order late last year came with parts missing and getting replacement parts was a hassle because I had to provide pictures. How do you provide pictures of missing parts? My most recent order arrived without the mounting strips and blocking strips being pre-drilled. I received the screws and screw covers but no holes for them. After multiple back and forth with "Angie" from customer service I was forwarded a poorly spelled response from their supplier stating "usually" they don't pre-drill holes. Usually? All of my other shutters over the last two years were pre-drilled. I was then told it was my fault because this order was a single panel shutter vs all my previous orders being dual shutters and I would have to pay to get replacement strips with pre-drilled holes in them. What does a single vs a dual shutter have to do with whether or not holes are drilled in hanging and blocking strips?"
