The Worst Kind of Upholstery for Cleaning

Furniture cleaning is simple and easy when it’s a hard surface. But with fabrics and upholstered furniture, cleaning is a mixed bag. Some kinds of upholstery are easy to clean, but some are the absolute worst! Here’s the top kinds of upholstery that are worst for cleaning, and why:

Furry Fabrics
One of the newest trends in furniture upholstery is a plush, furry covering for your chairs and pillows. Often made of synthetic fabrics, this furry upholstery collects dust, dirt, and smells as if it’s being paid by the ounce. Some of them do come off so you can wash it separately, but even then, it will never keep the same texture as when you bought it.

White Fabrics
This one seems the most obvious, but a pure white fabric will get stained more easily, and will show dirt and oil that collects on your furniture with time far more than a darker color or patterned fabric would. Even if you don’t get stains on your white upholstery, the oils on your skin will invariably rub off when you touch your furniture.
