It might be upsetting to have unsightly stains or smudges on your favorite chair or sofa, rug or carpet, but knowing the proper carpet and upholstery spot removal techniques will save your furniture’s well-kept appearance. Some upholstery fabrics are more delicate than others and require quick actions to prevent permanent upholstery stains. Pinnacle Eco Clean has the answers.
As a top family-owned upholstery cleaning company, Pinnacle Eco Clean recommends applying fabric protectors to upholstered items to prevent stains from forming. We specialize in two premium upholstery stain protectors in Rochester, NY, and nearby communities:
We are often asked what type of product to use when spot cleaning your carpeting. You may have noticed that the dime-sized spot you cleaned with a store-bought product seems to grow in size! Why is this? Often the reason is that the spot cleaning product itself attracted soil from foot traffic, thus making the area larger in appearance. Traditional soaps are sticky in nature and need to be rinsed; in addition, products containing orange oil can leave a soil-attracting residue.
Please take a moment to view the accompanying video, in which we explain the merits of our Hit the Spot Green carpet spotter. It is environmentally friendly and doesn’t leave a soil attracting residue like many other carpet cleaning spotters.

You’ll likely need to spot-clean an upholstered item if you spill something. Quickly soaking up the liquid using a clean cloth and the blotting technique is critical to prevent deep-set stains.
Sometimes people use home remedies for upholstery spot removals, like white vinegar, mild laundry detergent, or hydrogen peroxide. However, upholstered furniture consists of many natural fabrics like cotton and silk or synthetic ones like polyester and nylon. Manufacturers also commonly blend fabrics to create unique textiles that require special cleaning solutions and innovative techniques for effective upholstery stain removal.

I had such a great experience with Pinnacle Eco Clean. I had exterior paint spill on my brand new custom area rug. I called Pinnacle in a panic and they came out within 45 minutes, grabbed my area rug, took it back to their shop and cleaned it all within 6 hours. I can’t thank them enough for being so understanding and caring during my panic filled phone call. Their service is amazing!
Quickly blot the spill using a clean, dry cloth—do not rub! This prevents the stain from setting deeper into the fabric. Avoid using store-bought cleaners with sticky residues, as they may attract more dirt over time.
Many traditional cleaners contain sticky soaps or oils, which attract dirt from foot traffic, making the stain appear larger. Our Hit the Spot Green Carpet Spotter is an eco-friendly solution that doesn’t leave a soil-attracting residue.
While some home remedies may work for certain fabrics, not all upholstery materials react the same way. Natural fabrics like cotton and silk or blended textiles require special care. Using the wrong cleaner can lead to discoloration or damage.
Applying a fabric protector like Scotchgard™ or Fiber Protector™ creates a protective barrier against spills and dirt. Fiber Protector™ also provides UV protection, helping to prevent fabric fading from sunlight.
A simple test: Wrap a thin, clean cloth over your vacuum hose and run it over your upholstery. If you see visible dirt on the cloth, it’s time for a professional cleaning.
