I love my home! I love my design, I love its central location in Melbourne, I love every piece of furniture we bought and I love the atmosphere we have in here. However, I should probably mention that I'm a cleaning maniac and I love to keep everything in order. That's why I always make sure that everything is flawless and spotless.

A few weeks ago, I visited a friend of mine. Thank God she is not using Internet to read my thoughts. There was that huge stain on the sofa and it was all in pet hair. I really love her cats, Lucy and Monica, but this is just ridiculous. This is the reason why I decided to write an article about how to properly care for upholstery. With these tips and easy tricks, you will be able to turn the boring duty into a fun game without even hiring Melbourne cleaning services. And she really need those guys to take care of her upholstery.

1.Vacuuming your upholstery at least twice a week. This is important, because otherwise all the crumbs and other bits will wear away the weave while rubbing against the fabric. So vacuuming often will surely extend the life of your furniture.

2.Before you go to bed, bang the cushions back into their normal shape. That will make the whole room look much more tidy and you will see that the sofa will repay you with many years of extra wear. Another very easy trick to even out the wear is to rotate the seat pads occasionally.

3.Steam clean your upholstery is a very effective method to keep it looking amazing like new. There are two ways to do that – you can either hire a machine and do it on your own or you can entrust the task to the Melbourne cleaning services and wait for the result. Either way, the professionals advise you to do it regularly and not once every three years for example. The results will be much better the first way. Otherwise, you will probably see no difference. It will be cleaner tough.

4.Always act immediately. That means that you should remove all the spots and stains as soon as you see the spill. The best method is using a proper upholstery cleaner. If you don't have something at hand in your home and it's too late to go to the market, you could use your husband's shaving foam and a clean cloth. Apply it on the fabric and gently rub. Use a fan to help the area air-dry faster.

5.Now, to the point. To remove pet hair from upholstery, use a slightly damped chamois leather. Rub it gently across the fabric and you will see how the pet hair will gather very easily and quickly.

6.A very simple way to protect the finish of your leather furniture is to clean it with only real soap products. The perfect solution is to use saddle soap. I believe that you can find it in the riding shops and hardware stores.

7.And my last tip is on how to remove gum. It's easy and many of you probably already know this method, but I will take my chances. What you have to do is just placing a couple of ice cubes in a small plastic bag and leave on the gum until it's hard enough and you are able to scrape it off.

I guess that your upholstery look perfect now, doesn't it? I hope that I've been helpful and feel free to comment and ask any questions. I will be happy to answer to all of you, if I know the answer. Cheers!
