Has the inside your car lost that fresh and new appearance?Often times it seems that while the floors get vacuumed, the car, RV or boat gets washed and waxed; the upholstery in our vehicles or boats is simply overlooked. Take a quick glance around your and think about the last time that your RV love seat, driver and passanger seat, or the seats in your car or boat were cleaned by a professional. For many folks the answer is never.
Upholstered furniture over time accumulates dirt and residue from clothing, pets and dust in the air that are deposited on upholstery. Falling snacks get crushed on the cushions, while comfortable jeans bring in a little dust from the outdoors and end up lounging on the upholstry.
The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration recommend that upholstery be cleaned by a certified professional every 12 to 24 months, depending on the use and soiling of the surface. However, routine care of upholstered furniture in between visits from Select Floor Care is of the utmost importance to the lifespan of your pieces.
How Do I Keep it Clean?
While vacuuming the carpet, take time to use the wand attachment and gently vacuum the upholstered surfaces in your RV, car or boat as well. Keeping tabs on surface dirt and contaminants will help avoid severe soiling that could endanger the original color, texture and quality of the upholstery.
Accidental spills should be cleaned immediately by soaking up the remaining liquid and treating stains with following the tips and tricks found on our Water Based Stain Guide, Coffee, Tea or Urine Stain Guide, or Greasy Stain Guide.
When Should I Call Select Floor Care?
If you’re unsure of the last time that your upholstery was cleaned, or if it’s time to schedule a cleaning with Select Floor Care, we recommend that you take the time to conduct a quick experiment.
