Why is cleaning so important?
Cleaning your fabric bar stools is vital to keep them looking and smelling fresh. Upholstered fabric and cloth are great materials that are comfortable and provide a luxurious look and feel. However, they stain relatively easily and crumbs and debris can build up on/in them if not cleaned regularly.
By cleaning them properly and in a way that doesn’t damage the material, you can enjoy your bar stools for a long time to come.
General cleaning & stains
Get to the stains quickly
As soon as a spill or stain occurs, make sure to clean it as soon as possible. Waiting too long before treating a stain can cause the stain to set, making it harder to get out. This can happen in as quickly as a few minutes, so make sure to clean any spills as soon as they occur!
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations
Before using any cleaning solutions, check the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. If these aren’t included in the box the bar stools came in, or you don’t have them anymore, a simple Google search will usually return what you’re looking for. If not, you can always contact the company’s customer service. Failing to use safe cleaning products could mean permanently damaged upholstery.
Check the cleaning codes for your fabric stools
Have you ever seen those random letters on your stool’s tags? Those are cleaning codes! Check out the table below for the list of codes and what they mean.
Use a dry brush to remove loose particles
Go over the entire stool with a stiff brush with natural bristles to help loosen stains and bring dust and dirt to the surface. This will make vacuuming a lot easier and help remove debris from any nooks and crannies.
Vacuum
Before scrubbing and cleaning your fabric stools, use a hand-held vacuum to remove crumbs and other loose particles. It’s important to vacuum stools regularly to keep them looking good.
Clean with baking soda
Baking soda is not just for baking, it’s also great for cleaning stains and even removing odours. In fact, sprinkling baking soda over the entire stool/fabric area will help to remove odours and make stains easier to clean.
Once the baking soda has absorbed the stain, vacuum it up with a brush attachment.
IMPORTANT: Spot clean a small section of the stool before doing the entire stool to ensure the baking soda doesn’t tarnish the fabric.
Spot treat with the recommended agent
Next, begin cleaning your kitchen stools with the recommended product. If you are unsure if the product falls within the recommendations, test a small area for any discolouration before proceeding. Whether you use a water-based cleaner or a solvent (or both), follow the instructions on the packaging. If the instructions say it is safe to do so, use a soft cloth to wipe away the solution.
Dry your fabric sofa with a soft towel
Pat down any wet areas with a dry towel to soak up the residual moisture. Gently brush off any remaining cleaning solution.
Let your fabric stools air dry
Let the upholstery air dry overnight and enjoy a fresh fabric stool in the morning!
