For upholstered furniture use the right type of cleaning method. For example, if you have an antique chair that is hand embroidered then it would require a different cleaning technique.

Always keep upholstery as dry as possible when shampooing in order to prevent damage. If you want quick drying then keep the windows open or turn on the electric fan, dehumidifier, or an air conditioner in the room.

Calling a professional upholstery cleaning company is a smart move for those that have very expensive or hard to clean furniture. It is not as easy as grabbing a towel and cleaning it up. You have to pay attention to the material as well as the stuffing under the fabric. When you are not sure, a professional is the best route to take.
