Tips for Cleaning and Drying Wet Furniture

  

Dealing with wet furniture can be a stressful and challenging experience. Whether it's due to a spill, leak, or flood, wet furniture needs to be cleaned and dried promptly to prevent mould and mildew growth.

Here are some tips for cleaning and drying wet furniture, and how AACC can help you with your carpet cleaning needs.

Remove any standing water

Use towels, sponges, or a wet vacuum to absorb as much water as possible. If the furniture is too heavy or large, consider using a professional carpet cleaning service to extract the water.

Separate wet cushions and covers

This will allow them to dry more quickly and prevent any potential damage to the furniture's structure. If the covers are machine washable, you can wash them separately.

Use a fan to promote air circulation

Airflow is crucial when it comes to drying wet furniture. Use a fan to promote air circulation and speed up the drying process. You can also open windows and doors to let in fresh air, which can help remove any musty smells.

Use a dehumidifier

A dehumidifier can also help remove excess moisture from the air and prevent mould and mildew growth. Place the dehumidifier near the wet furniture and let it run until the area is dry.

Avoid direct sunlight

While sunlight can help dry wet furniture, it can also cause damage to certain materials, such as leather or upholstery. Instead, place the furniture in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
