Upholstery stains can be a major headache. Whether it’s a stubborn coffee stain or a mystery pet stain, getting rid of them can be tough. And if you don’t do it right, you could end up damaging your furniture.
Some of the most common upholstery stains:
- Coffee: Coffee is one of the most common upholstery stains. It can be difficult to remove because it is a water-based stain that can quickly set into the fibers of your furniture.
- Blood: Blood stains can be difficult to remove because they are protein-based. If you don’t act quickly, the blood can set and become even more difficult to remove.
- Urine: Urine stains can be difficult to remove because they are acidic. If you don’t act quickly, the urine can damage the fibers of your furniture.
- Grease: Grease stains can be difficult to remove because they are oily. If you don’t act quickly, the grease can soak into the fibers of your furniture and become even more difficult to remove.
- Pet stains: Pet stains can be difficult to remove because they can contain a variety of substances, including urine, feces, and saliva. If you don’t act quickly, the pet stains can damage the fibers of your furniture.
DIY Stain Removal
If you have an upholstery stain, there are a few things you can do to try to remove it yourself:
- Blot the stain immediately with a clean cloth to remove as much of the stain as possible.
- Apply a stain remover to the affected area. Be sure to test the stain remover in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn’t damage your furniture.
- Blot the stain remover with a clean cloth until it is gone.
- Rinse the area with water and blot dry.
If the stain is still visible after trying these steps, you may need to call a professional upholstery cleaner.
