Cleaning different types of upholstery requires the right method to avoid damage and keep furniture looking fresh. Always check the care label first to understand the recommended cleaning approach. For fabric upholstery, vacuum regularly to remove dust and use a mild detergent solution for spot cleaning stains. Leather upholstery should be wiped with a damp cloth and treated with a leather conditioner to prevent cracking. Synthetic materials often handle gentle soap and water well, but avoid soaking the fabric. Velvet needs light brushing and minimal moisture to maintain its texture. Regular maintenance and quick stain treatment help extend the life and appearance of your upholstered furniture.
