Cleaning upholstery can be difficult for homeowners, especially when there are stains involved. DIY methods can often result in making the stain worse and damaging furniture. If you’re having difficulty removing a stubborn spot from your sofa, armchair, or loveseat, enlisting the help of an expert upholstery cleaner is your best option. They will be able to spruce up your furniture and get rid of any unsightly blemishes – especially when it comes to these four common and hard-to-remove stains.

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 Elmer’s Chem-Dry.

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 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 leave the stain to us. 

Tomato Sauce

The bright red color and the oil or grease associated with tomato sauce can make it a tough stain to remove. Don’t let this fear keep you from indulging in your favorite Italian dishes though! In case of an upholstery accident, our team can help. No need to worry – we’re here for you!

Red Wine

Don’t let the fear of spilling red wine on your furniture or upholstery ruin your dinner party. Our team at Elmer’s Chem-Dry has the expertise to get rid of those pesky red wine stains and make sure they don’t come back. No need for outdated techniques like pouring white wine on the stain – our special cleaning solution removes it from the source so you can enjoy your evening without worry!

Avoid Further Damage By Calling Our Upholstery Cleaning Team

When a stain occurs on your upholstery, it can be tempting to try and remove it yourself by rubbing, scrubbing, or using a variety of cleaning products. Rubbing the affected area could force the pigment deeper into the fibers, making it even harder to get rid of. Additionally, using inappropriate cleaning products or methods can damage your fabric and make the problem worse. When tackling these types of stains, it’s best to rely on our team of experts here at Elmer’s Chem-Dry. We have the skills and experience to safely and efficiently remove stains from all sorts 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.
