Grubby mitts, dirty paws and floppy sofa? North Shore parents are well versed in that trifecta. Children and pets possess some sort of super sixth sense to locate clean upholstery, which in turn they decorate as they see fit. This is why the family is learning a few things out of the Upholstery Cleaning North Shore handbook of experts since, quite frankly, maintaining soft furnishings is nearly an Olympic endeavour. Check this out!

So we will begin with crumbs. You should not leave those shameful snack-time food remnants alone however, because they reproduce like rabbits. Pro Tip: you should vacuum at least once a week even a quick sweep. Creep in those weird crevices and behind those cushions–the assembly places where the cracker crumbs and the money have their confabs.

Lastly there is the stain squad. Fruit juice, house paint, who-knows-what on shoes–hurry, or wait for it to dry? Never scrub always blot. Wet the cloth well, hold with clean hands; clean up: doing it inside out to avoid the spatter effect of the mess. Baking soda is a miracle worker on new odors, literally just sprinkle the area and wait and then destroy the evidence with the vacuum cleaner before anyone suspects anything.

Pet fur-who needs it? Rubber gloves collect significantly more rubbish than a lint roller, or even than one of those not-really-grey-anymore chairs. On tight fur, moisten the glove and wipe. See the fluff peel off as magic.

When rearing young children and pets, it might seem like a lack of control in motion but your upholstery does not need to be a bohemian work of art that went no where. Lean on a cleaning routine to ensure the little messes in life are kept in their place–and your soft furnishings primed and ready for the next round. You got this, in the bag (in the least, under a couch cushion).
