5 tips for cleaning your home

5 tips for cleaning your home's textiles

Any room may be improved with the right home textiles, but do you know how to make them look their best? Here are five techniques for cleaning your curtains, tablecloths, and upholstery.

1. Steam the fabrics in your home

You might believe that steamers are exclusively used in the fashion and clothing industries. But steaming is a quick and practical technique to clean and refresh your household textiles as well. You can avoid having to take the curtains off the rod and set up an ironing board by steaming your curtains instead of ironing them.
Examine your house. Are there any household fabrics that you think may benefit from steaming? Some of the most popular household textiles that are ideal for steam cleaning are:

- Curtains
- Couches and upholstery
- Bedding

2. Remove piling

Do you have small fabric fuzz balls covering your favorite couch or armchair? This is perfectly normal and fixable, so there's no need to worry. They are only extra fibers that are frequently discovered in areas where there is friction, such as on armrests, or on materials that are particularly prone to developing pilling, like wool. This is basically the nature of any fabric that is made it out of yarns.
You can easily de-age your furniture by removing these surface stains and blemishes with a fabric shaver. Allow the precision razor blades to remove the abnormalities as you gently sweep the nozzle over the bumps.

3. Eliminate surface dirt and dust.

Using a vacuum cleaner to clean the dirt off of sofas is a popular practice. But eventually, this will lead to unnecessary wear and tear. Our recommendation is to gently sweep dust off your furniture with a clothing brush.
We advise using a reusable lint brush for delicate textiles and materials that collect a lot of lint and hair.

4. Say goodbye to stains

Treating stains as soon as they emerge is the golden guideline. But occasionally, life gets in the way, and we must respond to more pressing issues. Do not worry; even after they have dried, some stains can still be erased. If the stained fabric can be washed, you can use a stain remover as a pre-treatment before following the standard washing recommendations.
You can also spot-treat stains on non-washable household textiles by applying a stain remover, waiting five minutes, and then wiping it away with a damp towel. To conserve time, water, and energy, we still advise spot-treating or handwashing only the stained area even if the fabric is washable. The rule of thumb is, never use a bleaching agent on your fabrics, nor a carpet cleaner!

5. When cleaning, think green

Finally, we want to inspire you to clean your house with an eco-friendly mindset. We advise utilizing reusable tools and avoiding hazardous chemicals at all costs for the protection of your health and the environment. Keep in mind that soap, lemon, and vinegar can go a long way when choosing durable, high-quality cleaning materials.
We hope that these pointers will be beneficial during cleaning season. Good luck and happy cleaning!
