Here are some tips on how to protect expensive upholstery:

* Clean your upholstery once in a week properly using a vacuum cleaner. This will help in removing the dust rooted deep inside the fabric.

* If after a party you have witnessed a stain on the fabric or sofa linens, throw pillows, and slipcovers then use a good quality repel liquid or block stain. Do not rub the liquid rigorously, it might leave a patch or totally damage the upholstery.
If you cannot do it yourself then take the help of a professional damage restoration company.

*Fabrics like velvet, wool, Haitian Cotton are really tough to clean and give the old classy looks. For such kinds of fabric it is necessary to give them touch up. Hire a good professional. They have team of professionals who are good at doing their work. They use the right equipment.
