How to Clean Polyester Couch Stain
To clean a polyester couch and remove the stain, you can use a damp sponge with a drop of mild detergent. Cleaning should be gentle and simple so you can avoid damaging the polyester material. Then, you wash the detergent residue away with water.
You can also first quickly dry brush the couch and vacuum loose debris (especially if your couch hasn’t been cleaned for months). Note that this is the DIY approach where you just remove the surface dirt and there’s no treatment for mould, mildew and microbes. Also, most of the particles might still be stuck on the polyester fabric, which affects its odour and overall appearance.
Cleaning a polyester couch
Although polyester is a strong fabric material, it can still be prone to damage especially if the cleaning is harsh and when the material itself is already old. Its strength must have deteriorated through the years, which is why any harsh treatment can cause permanent and irreversible damage.
For example, you might accidentally use too much detergent when you clean the couch. This can result in a quick chemical reaction, which can cause colour fading or other discolouration on the fabric. The fabric’s texture and softness might also be affected.
Because of the risks, many just hire a professional to do the job. Professionals and upholstery cleaning specialists know the best ways and products to use when removing a particular stain from a certain fabric. Because of their specialised knowledge, they’re always able to remove the stain totally without damaging the material.
In addition, specialists also provide full upholstery fabric protection in addition to their core services. This helps stop dirt, dust and liquids from making the fabric deteriorate over time. Spills and stains are likely to slide off the fabric. Also, this leaves the furniture in good shape and feeling soft in the long run.
