No one has ever said that cleaning is easy, but not everything is created equal in terms of furniture cleaning. Port Richey residents might be aware already that some fabrics or some materials are much easier to clean and keep clean than others. There are several types of fabrics used for interior furnishings that are best suited to minimal-use areas such as formal living rooms and guest bedrooms. Most common upholstery that is used to create furniture is relatively easy to clean, so what are some materials that you need to be extra careful around?
Rayon Material
Rayon Is a material that goes by many different names, but they are all extremely hard to keep clean or even perform regular furniture cleaning. Port Richey residents should be aware that if they have furniture made with rayon fabric, it is half as strong once the material gets wet, but it can also shrink in size as well. This is what makes it particularly challenging to clean rayon materials, because half of cleaners and solutions are liquid based that will ruin your furniture. Rayon must be cleaned with more delicate methods to prevent fiber damage. This can result in inferior cleaning results though.
Silk Fabrics
Silk by itself is actually a very durable material that can does not change when it is affected by water like that of rayon. The real problem with silk comes for when manufactures use it in pile construction pieces. A silk shirt or blouse would be easy to clean when compared with a silk couch and furniture cleaning. Port Richey residents should be aware that silk pile construction materials have the nap flattened, it can be very difficult to raise it back up but not so much as it would be for rayon materials.
