How to Clean Sarasota Upholstery

Visit a cleaning supply merchant in the Sarasota area to purchase upholstery-cleaning products. There are two stores in the immediate Sarasota area that sell these types of specialty products. The first is SuperChem, 1801 East Avenue North, 941-366-1663. The second is Green World Home Cleaning, 318 South Washington Blvd., 941-923-1717. If you have cotton upholstery, use only a solvent-based cleaner. If you have synthetic upholstery, you can use a water-based cleaner.

Put on cleaning gloves. While these products are non-toxic, if you are sensitive to cleaning products, you may also want to put on a protective mask.

Apply the cleaning solution to a clean rag and dab the dirt or stains that are present on your upholstery. Don't scrub too vigorously, which may just spread the stain into the fabric. Never pour the cleaning solution directly onto the fabric.

Contact a professional cleaner in the Sarasota area with experience working with upholstery. This may be especially useful if you have extremely large or delicate upholstered curtains or drapes. You may also need to contact a professional if you cannot get a stain out of your upholstered furniture. Many carpet cleaning professionals also clean upholstery. Two such cleaners in the Sarasota area are Service Masters, 941-927-2128, and Johnson Chem-Dry, 941-488-6029.
