Stool cleaning, best home and professional compounds

Keeping furniture in order is not easy, especially if active children and pets live in the house. If you approach this work without special knowledge, you can spend a lot of time and effort, and even hopelessly spoil the furnishings. For example, one of the important care measures, stool cleaning from stains, should be performed exclusively in a gentle way. For the successful processing of furniture and the effective fight against dirt, you can use various types of products, both home compositions and professional cleaners. The main thing is to choose the right option, the only way to get rid of stubborn stains and maintain the integrity of the chair upholstery.

Basic rules

Any chair, regardless of its purpose, is cleaned according to the rules. First upholstery is processed, then you can go to the frame. These two steps will require different means. While the upholstery is being processed, the frame should be closed so that an unsuitable cleaning composition for this material does not hit the surface. It is important to adhere to the following recommendations:

Any tool is recommended to be pre-tested in an inconspicuous area.
Do not use hot water for cleaning.
If you need to process kitchen chairs or a computer (office) chair, it is recommended to choose tools that effectively dissolve fat.
It is not necessary to apply the cleaning composition to the stain, but to the sponge. In this case, it can not be very wet.

After cleaning the product with a soft seat, thoroughly remove any detergent residue. Do not use preparations containing chlorine. They bleach the fabric and may contribute to its deformation.

When processing it is forbidden to use aggressive chemicals. They can cause an allergic reaction in people who use stool daily.

Do not use hot water

Apply cleaning compound to sponge, not to stain

Upholstery selection

Before you clean the chairs, you need to find a suitable tool. The composition should be chosen depending on what the furniture is upholstered with. In addition to the characteristics of the materials, it is important to consider the color of the chair. For dark upholstery, you can not use a soap solution (after drying, ugly white streaks may remain), dark preparations will not work.

Material	How to clean	What can not be used
Synthetics	Car Seat Cleaning Products	White spirit, varnishes and turpentine
Velor and flock	Alcohol and soap solutions	Solvents that contain gasoline or acetone
Tapestry	Laundry soap, water-based detergent	Compositions containing alcohol
Shenill	Soap solution, a mixture of water and ammonia	Automotive Tools
Silk	Water-based products	White spirit, gasoline, turpentine
Microfiber	Mild detergent diluted with water	Bleach

When processing natural and artificial leather, stain removers, varnishes and turpentines are prohibited. Soap solution is well suited for quick stain removal. Also, cleaning products for delicate care fabrics give remarkable results.

Before you clean the leather chair, the upholstery needs to be slightly moistened - you can sprinkle it with water from the spray bottle.

Effective Home Compounds

Not everyone knows how to clean the upholstery of chairs at home. Quickly cope with severe impurities will help special cleaning compounds. They give good results with light pollution, which have appeared recently. If there are a lot of old stubborn stains on the chair, the treatment will have to be repeated several times.

Soap solution

A solution of laundry soap with water copes with stains of fat and traces of tea and coffee. It is used to process leather or textile upholstery. For cooking, finely rub 1/3 of the bar of soap and dissolve the chips in two glasses of water. Next, treat the spots and wait an hour. The last step is to rinse the material with clean water. If the leather stool is very dirty, you can additionally add a little professional water-based preparation, providing a soft composition.

Salt mixture

The saline solution perfectly removes traces of edible fat in the kitchen chairs. It can be used for tapestry upholstery. For 1 tablespoon of salt, take 500 ml of water. The composition is stirred and applied to the fabric with a cloth napkin. After that, you need to wipe the stool with a damp sponge and leave it to dry completely.

If the furniture has synthetic upholstery, in the presence of persistent, stubborn dirt, you can add a little soft stain remover to the mixture.

Automotive Tools

This option is suitable for synthetics. Car compositions are good in that they are convenient to dose. A little spray is sprayed onto the stain, after 20-30 minutes the residues are removed with a damp cloth. When working with leather or leatherette, you can additionally treat the stain with a cleaning composition for materials requiring delicate care.

Cleaning algorithm

Cleaning should be done in stages, strictly observing the recommended sequence of actions. The operation algorithm is as follows:

Clean the product from dust.
Remove grease (this is especially true for kitchen furniture).
Carry out a general cleaning by choosing a product depending on the type of upholstery.
If necessary, remove stains.

After that, the furniture is carefully dried. It happens that the chair is clean, and you need to remove only one spot. However, even in such cases, it is necessary to completely clean the upholstery: if only a small area is washed out, ugly stubborn stains will remain on the product. It is important to follow the correct procedure, then cleaning the chairs from stains will be successful.

Dust removal

Every housewife should know how to clean chairs at home from dust. You can apply a proven method - a wet knockout method. To do this, you need to properly wet a large towel, squeeze it and fold it in several layers. After that, cover them with a chair and knock them out. All dust will remain on the towel. This is a convenient and simple method that gives good results.

Knock out dust by first covering the chair with a wet rag.

Grease elimination

To clean a chair with fabric upholstery at home from greasy stains is quite simple. The most effective way to deal with the problem is to pour large crystals of salt on a chair with a soft seat. Then leave them on the upholstery longer (for several hours or at night) so that the fat is completely absorbed. You can also moisten a cotton pad in glycerin and rub greasy areas with force.

Sprinkle greasy places with salt and leave overnight

Stain removal

To the question of how to clean the chair, you can give several answers. The choice of product depends on the origin of the pollution. The fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove it. To remove old, stubborn dirt, you can use aspirin (dilute 2-3 tablets in water and wipe the upholstery), ammonia (treat the pollution, leave for several hours, wipe the stool with a clean sponge). You can take borax (one tablespoon of a substance in a glass of water, pour the mixture into a spray bottle, spray and rinse after 40-50 minutes).

Type of pollution	How to clean
Coffee and tea	Apply a little chlorine-free detergent to the cloth. Treat contaminated chair areas
Other drinks (juice, beer, wine)	Sprinkle upholstery with coarse salt. Dampen a cotton pad in vodka, blot the stain
Blood	Dampen the swab in hydrogen peroxide. Treat the material until foam appears, then clean the stool with a clean cloth
Fat	Pour a mixture of salt and soda onto a contaminated surface, rub with a stiff brush
Mud	Treat the upholstery with a sponge dampened in soapy water.

After removing the stain, it is necessary to go through the detergent over the entire surface of the stool. This will save from the appearance of ugly stains. Do not use the furniture for its intended purpose until it is completely dry.

Detergent Removal and Drying

To remove the remnants of the cleaning product from the fabric, you need to wet a regular sponge for washing dishes in warm water and walk along the surface of the chair. The procedure must be repeated several times. It’s most convenient to place a basin filled with water next to the furniture and rinse the sponge in it.

For drying chairs it is strictly forbidden to use a hair dryer, as it can deform the structure of the upholstery. You just need to leave the kitchen furniture or computer chair for the night in the room (away from the steam heating batteries so that the frame does not deteriorate). The product dries quickly.

Wipe the surface with a damp sponge several times

Frame cleaning

To clean the wooden frame, you need to dilute the baby soap with water and apply the resulting mass to the surface using a cloth napkin. Then rinse the cleaned place.

To polish the chair to shine, you can use a mixture of turpentine with vegetable oil in a 1: 1 ratio. Any detergent is suitable for cleaning plastic. After processing, the surface is polished with a soft cloth folded in several layers.

Undiluted vinegar is well suited for metal cleaning; it is applied to the surface of the product with a cotton pad. Then the iron frame is polished with a swab dipped in any vegetable oil.
