"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
Follow care instructions based on the material, regularly clean, and avoid moisture or heat exposure.
If your couch has a non-washable upholstery, you’ll likely need to use dry cleaning products rather than foam or liquid cleaners. If that’s the case, we strongly recommend hiring a professional upholstery cleaner to get the job done. Some dry cleaning products are dangerous to use, and those with abrasive chemicals can destroy certain types of fabric. A professional furniture cleaner will know which to use and in what quantity for a safe, deep clean.
To remove pet urine stains and odors from a microfiber couch, first blot the area to absorb as much liquid as possible. Then, generously cover the spot with baking soda and let it sit for a few hours to absorb the odor before vacuuming it up.
For cleaning the stain itself, you can use a commercial urine stain and odor removal spray—be sure to follow the product's instructions.
Alternatively, you can use a DIY solution based on your couch's cleaning code:
For 'S' code couches: Lightly spritz the stain with rubbing alcohol and gently scrub with a microfiber cloth.
For 'W' or 'S-W' code couches: Use a mixture of one cup of vinegar and one cup of rubbing alcohol, spritzing and scrubbing the area gently.
Depending on your type of carpet, a wet/dry vacuum is a great final step to removing blood stains, but it will only help after you’ve used another method to pull out the bulk of the stain. A good option is to use a wet cleaning method, then apply baking soda to the stain, and then follow that by vacuuming thoroughly. Remember that this vacuum type does not work on all carpet types. Wool can shrink with this method, so always check the cleaning instructions from your carpet’s manufacturer.
To remove mold from fabric that’s part of your wood furniture, the best option is to take the fabric off and place it in the washing machine. If you cannot take the fabric off, it helps to move the furniture out into the sun. Use a high-quality vacuum to remove any mold spores that are present. You can try spraying the mold with a 50/50 vinegar-water mixture. Hydrogen peroxide is also a possibility for removing mold from fabric, but it could damage certain types of fabric.
