Carpets and furniture

Be careful when handling furniture

  • കാർപ്പെറ്റുകൾ ആദ്യ രണ്ട് ദിവസങ്ങൾക്കുള്ളിൽ തന്നെ ഉണക്കണം.

  • ഉപയോഗ ശൂന്യമായവ ഉടൻ തന്നെ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കുക ഫർണിച്ചർ, വീട്ടുപകരണങ്ങൾ മുതലായവയിൽ നിന്നും ബാക്കിയുള്ള ചെളി, മണ്ണ് നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക. നനവുള്ളതാണെങ്കിൽ, ചെളി ഉണങ്ങിയശേഷം അതു വൃത്തിയാക്കണം അപ്ഹോൾസ്റ്ററി ഫർണിച്ചറുകൾക്ക് നിങ്ങൾക്കൊരു പ്രൊഫഷണലിൻറെ സഹായം തേടുക.

  • കുഷ്യൻ പ്രത്യേകം നീക്കം ചെയ്തു ഉണക്കുക. അപ്ഹോൾസ്റ്ററി നീക്കംചെയ്യരുത്. ഫർണിച്ചർ ഇഷ്ടികകളിൽ ഉയർത്തി ഫാനിന്റെ കാറ്റത്ത് വയ്ക്കുക തടി ഫർണിച്ചറിന്റെ ഡ്റോയർ നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക.

  • വാതിലുകൾ തുറന്നിടുക. വേഗത്തിൽ ഉണങ്ങിയാൽ തടിയിൽ വിള്ളൽ വീഴാൻ സാധ്യത ഉണ്ട്

  1. Carpets must be dried within the first two days or else they will end up with an unpleasant smell and will have to be shampooed later.

  2. Completely soaked carpets can be discarded immediately.

  3. To brush off the dirt from the furniture, wait for them to dry. If you try to remove the dirt before it’s dry, there will be a high probability of scratches and it won’t be well cleaned.

  4. To confirm if a furniture is dry, perform the following:

    1. Tape som clear food wrap on the surface.

    2. If the covered section turns darker than the surrounding material, it is still damp.

    3. Dry the item for long and repeat the above steps to see if the covered section turns dark.

    4. If they don’t turn dark, it’s well dried.

  5. For upholstered furniture, consult a professional to confirm on what can be salvaged. In the meantime, look for removable cushions that is not glued or nailed or attached to the furniture by any means and dry them separately. Do not remove upholstery.

  6. Raise furniture on blocks and place it underneath the fan.

Handling wooden furniture with drawers and doors

  1. Remove all items from the drawer and finally the drawer itself.

  2. Keep the doors open and let it dry eventually.

  3. Do not try to dry them quickly. In doing so, the wood may split and will bring more damage to the furniture in the longer run.
