Most of the time that we
spend in our homes is spent walking and sitting. Yet,
while people clean their floors and carpets daily,
they often forget to clean their furniture. Constant
neglect can make your furniture look like a vintage
piece much earlier than you would have anticipated. To
avoid this, we are giving some furniture cleaning tips
here that will make the entire process, feel like a
breeze:
Cleaning stained furniture:
Apply first a dry solvent cleaner to discolor the stain of
your furniture. Then apply an oil-based grease on the same
area. Now reapply the same solvent that you applied before and
leave it for some time. Now take some detergent solution and
rinse the area with this solution followed by water and let it
dry.
Cleaning woven furniture: Dust your
woven furniture or vacuum on daily basis. You can use sponge
and water also to wipe the dust on the woven furniture. To
protect the weaves, use a light coat of any furniture finish
polish.
Cleaning courtyard furniture:
Take a solution which is a mixture of bleach and detergent in
5:1 ratio and spray it on your courtyard furniture ad leave it
for an hour. Then rinse well using running water from a hose.
Let it dry for couple of hours before using it.
Cleaning wooden furniture: Use a
diluted mild detergent based cleaner on your wooden furniture
with the help of a sponge. Then clean it off with water using
sponge to get back the shining effect of your wooden
furniture.
Cleaning leather furniture: If your
leather furniture is of pigment-dye-based, you can clean it by
yourself by a wet, soft cloth. But if it is of
aniline-dye-based, use proper leather cleaner. Avoid using too
many chemical based cleansers to clean your furniture.
Cleaning Plastic Furniture: Plastic
furniture generally needs a simple cleaning procedure. Just
wash it with mild detergent and water and wipe it with a soft
cloth.
