4 of the Toughest Upholstery Stains to Remove

For homeowners, upholstery cleaning can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to stubborn stains. DIY methods can make the situation worse, potentially damaging your furniture in the process. If you’re struggling to remove a stubborn stain from your sofa, armchair, or loveseat, it’s best to seek the help of a professional upholstery cleaning expert. They can renew the appearance of your furnishings and eliminate any unsightly stains, especially when dealing with the four most common and challenging stains. Don’t let stubborn stains ruin the beauty of your furniture – trust the experts to get the job done right.

Chocolate

Chocolate stains, especially melted chocolate or hot cocoa, can be a major issue on upholstery. The dark color of chocolate can easily show up on lighter fabrics, and the combination of protein, fat, and sugar in chocolate can make it difficult to remove with water alone. However, Chem-Dry has a range of stain removal products that can effectively lift away chocolate stains. Enjoy your treats without worrying about making a mess on your couch, and know if you do, just call Chem-Dry of Sioux Falls.

Blood

If you have kids who are prone to scrapes and bruises, or if you are just accident-prone yourself, you may have to deal with blood stains on your upholstery. Blood stains can be difficult to remove due to the protein in the blood and the bright color. However, our experienced team knows how to effectively tackle this type of stain. Just worry about taking care of the injury and leaving the stain to us.

Tomato Sauce

Tomato sauce stains can be especially challenging to remove from upholstery due to the combination of the vibrant red color and the oil or grease that is often present. These stains can be difficult to get rid of, but you shouldn’t let the fear of a spill keep you or your kids from enjoying your favorite Italian dishes. If you do have a tomato sauce accident on your upholstery, don’t worry – our team is here to help.

Red Wine

Red wine is well-known for causing stains. If you enjoy a glass of wine at home or host dinner parties, you don’t have to worry about red wine spilling and leaving a stain on your furniture or upholstery. Chem-Dry of Sioux Falls has years of experience helping homeowners remove red wine stains from their chairs and other upholstery. And no, contrary to popular belief we don’t just pour white wine on the stain. Our specialty cleaning solution breaks down and removes the stain at the source to remove it for good.

Avoid Further Damage By Calling Our Upholstery Cleaning Team

If a stain appears on your upholstery, you may be tempted to remove it yourself by rubbing, scrubbing, or using different cleaning products. Nevertheless, this can often lead to more harm than good. Rubbing a stain can force pigment deeper into fibers, making it harder to remove. Using the wrong product or method can also ruin the fabric and worsen the stain. It’s important to clean stains with care and the right technique. Instead of trying to remove the stain yourself, it is best to leave it in the hands of our experts. We have the knowledge and experience to safely and effectively remove stains from various types of fabrics.

In addition to professional stain removal, we also offer upholstery protectant services. This proactive approach creates a protective barrier around the fibers of your upholstery, giving you more time to absorb any spills before they can cause a stain.
