Q: Will using carpet cleaner on a couch damage it?

• <div><p>It might be possible to use a carpet cleaner on your couch, but it&rsquo;s not recommended. Some carpet cleaners contain chemicals that are too harsh or abrasive for the soft fabric on your couch. Plus, couches have upholstery codes that dictate what you can and can&rsquo;t use safely for cleaning purposes, and carpet cleaner generally isn&rsquo;t included in those codes. If you do decide to use a carpet cleaner, test it on a section of fabric that isn&rsquo;t visible in case you damage it.</p></div>

Q: Is upholstery easy to clean?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s usually best to hire a professional upholstery cleaning service to ensure your couch gets appropriately cleaned and doesn&rsquo;t get damaged in the process. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-professional-upholstery-cleaner.htm">Professional furniture cleaning</a> is relatively affordable and easier on the wallet than replacing a damaged couch.</p></div>

Q: How long will fleas live on a couch?

• <div><p>Adult fleas can live a few days to a couple of weeks on your couch if they don't have a host to feed on. However, flea eggs, larvae, and pupae can live much longer, even several months, with the right conditions. That is why it&rsquo;s vital to eradicate them from your couch and other upholstered furniture. </p></div>

Q: Should you let dog diarrhea dry before cleaning?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn&rsquo;t let dog diarrhea dry before cleaning it. While cleaning the stain when it's dried sounds less messy, it can cause more harm than good. Old stains have a chance to dry into your carpet, and the smell can go deeper into the fibers. This makes removing old dog poop more of a headache to clean than dealing with diarrhea while it&rsquo;s fresh. </p></div>

Q: Will vinegar remove poop stains?

• <div><p>Yes, vinegar can remove poop stains. How long the poop sits on your carpet will determine how many rounds of solution you&rsquo;ll need and the length per round. One round should be enough if you&rsquo;re dealing with a fresh stain, but more stubborn stains might require longer rounds. If you prefer a more effective way to remove dog poop, consider an enzyme cleaner that can break down both stains and odor. </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?"
