Pay special attention to flat surfaces, such as sofa armrests and skirts. These are excellent for lifting dust out of furniture, as well as suits and sport coats that accumulate closet dust. Wiping with a slightly damp cloth. Applying lit pressure, wipe as you would a coffee table. Also be sure to flip cushions, for even wear and greater resistance against fading.
Regular maintenance keeps furniture clean and new looking for years longer.
It also saves money on cleaning bills, and by not having reupholster or buy new furniture as often. How to Handle Common Spills Because of the large amount of air space in fabrics, the harder you rub when cleaning a spill, the deeper the soil will penetrate. For liquid spills, blot up with a towel. For semi-solid spills like peanut butter or chocolate, try to lift out with a vacuum cleaner's hose attachment, a spatula, or even a butter knife. Next, dampen the corner of a white terry cloth towel with water and wring it out.
