Other living room cleaning tips

Cleaning living room furniture is just the start when it comes to keeping your sitting room looking great. You'll also want to look after other elements of the room like your carpets and window treatments. For flooring, hoovering frequently is obviously key in order to remove grit and dirt that can cause damage to carpet fibres or floor panels. If your furniture is creating indentations on rugs or carpets, place an ice cube on the dent and then gently brush the fibres back into place once it melts.

Curtains and window treatments are also important to keep clean in your living room, because they can gather dust and stir up allergies. Dust roller blinds and curtain rods, and vacuum curtains — pay extra attention to the hem if your curtains are long, because it can collect dust from the floor. Make sure that you check the manufacturer instructions to know whether your curtains can be machine washed or if they require dry cleaning.

Finally, you may want to occasionally consider a professional clean for your carpets, sofas, or other living room elements. Professional cleaning experts, products, and methods will help to get every speck of dirt and grime out of the space as well as dealing with stains that can’t be removed using DIY methods or basic cleaning products. Hiring a professional cleaner once a year or as needed can be a worthwhile investment in extending the lifespan of your furniture and furnishings.
