Dining sets that host Sunday dinner, accent chairs, storage ottomans and headboards, all refreshed inside your Fordham apartment.
Long Sunday dinners and holiday meals are a big part of family life in Fordham, and the padded dining chairs carry the evidence. Gravy, rice, cooking oil and sticky fingers leave a dull ring on every seat, and the backs darken where people grab them.
Beyond the table, there is usually an accent chair by the window, a storage ottoman doubling as extra seating and a fabric headboard in the main bedroom.
None of it has to go anywhere. We clean each piece in the apartment with a cloth laid under it.
The first thing we look for is the little care code stapled under the seat. W allows water-based cleaning, S calls for a solvent, and W/S allows either. When there is no code, a hidden test spot tells us the same thing.
Dining seats get a kitchen-strength degreaser before anything else, since food oil is the main culprit. A low-moisture extraction follows, which keeps the foam cushion from soaking through and taking days to dry.
Chairs with zip-on seat covers are cleaned with the covers in place. Taking them off and washing them in a machine is a common mistake that shrinks them so they no longer fit.
Ottomans take a beating as footrests, extra chairs and sometimes a table for snacks. The lid is usually the grimiest part, and the sides carry scuff marks from shoes. Both get worked.
Fabric headboards collect hair gel, lotion and skin oil exactly where heads rest. We clean them against the wall, leaving the bed where it is, with minimal moisture.
Apartments facing Fordham Road or the Concourse let in a steady stream of traffic dust through the windows. On light fabric that dust shows as a grayish cast, and cleaning lifts it.
Most chairs can be sat on again by the evening. Keep cats off the seats until they are completely dry.
Microfiber accent chairs are popular because they look soft and cost little, but they water-spot easily. We clean them with a solvent method and brush the nap while it is still damp.
