Get matched with top couch cleaners in Tornillo, TX

In most cases, a professional upholstery cleaner will take 30 minutes and one hour to clean a single piece of furniture. Small, isolated stains could take less time, while heavily soiled couches could take up to three hours. If you have an antique piece of furniture, it might take a few hours to clean as well, as your professional needs to take greater care to make sure they don’t damage the delicate material. In any case, your expert should be able to give you an estimate for the cleaning timeline before they get started.

Hydrogen peroxide is usually better for getting rid of urine smells on hardwood than vinegar. Unlike vinegar, hydrogen peroxide is odorless. This can be advantageous if you have a dog that likes to mark areas with a strong scent. Also, hydrogen is a strong oxidizer that can break down bacterial odors, and it is less likely to remove the finish on hardwood flooring than vinegar. Never mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. This creates corrosive and toxic peracetic acid.

Cleaning a leather sofa is typically easier than cleaning fabric sofas, although they do need annual conditioning to keep them in top condition. Where you can often quickly wipe down moisture-repellent leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt and spills, you might have to scrub fabrics and use specialist cleaning products to get rid of ingrained grime or soaked-in stains.

If your wood furniture is sticky after already cleaning it, it’s likely from using too many polishes or waxes. You’ll need to remove some of the excess wax with a cloth and warm water mixed with dish soap. You can then reapply the wax or polish afterwards, but try to use a much smaller amount and wipe away any excess.
