Some people say you should avoid buying leather furniture because it requires too much maintenance, but that’s not necessarily the case. If you know how to care for leather furniture, it's rather easy.. Luckily for you, The Steam Team knows all about leather cleaning and conditioning, and we’ve compiled this short guide to help you take great care of your leather furniture.

How To Deal With Spills

The first thing you should be concerned with is avoiding spills, or if you do spill something on your leather furniture, wipe it off quickly. When wiping a spill on leather furniture, use a soft, dry cloth and allow the area to air dry. If you aren’t able to find a cloth quick enough for whatever the reason may be, simply spread the spill towards the edge of the furniture and brush it off. Though this may sound like you’re just spreading the stain around, you’ll actually eliminate the outline of the watermark, which is the most obvious sign of a stain.

Properly Conditioning

If your furniture is a piece of real leather, then it was once part of a living animal. Since that animal is no longer able to condition the leather with its natural body oils, the burden of conditioning the leather falls on you, and you’ll have to do it regularly to keep the leather in good condition. It should be about every 6 to 12 months. For specifics, contact the manufacturer of your specific piece of furniture.

Help from The Steam Team

We understand that you’re probably a very busy person, and not everyone has the time on their hands to clean and condition a piece of leather furniture on their own. That’s why we offer professional leather cleaning and conditioning services! For more information, please visit The Steam Team website for cleaning.

Although it may not seem like a major issue, one of the most serious health risks that homeowners face is mold. All it takes is one small, damp area left unchecked and without light for a couple days and mold can begin to grow and start causing health problems for anyone around. That’s why we’re here! We want to inform you on mold and how we can help eliminate it from your home or business.

What Makes Mold Harmful?

The damage to your health caused by mold can vary from person to person, but shouldn’t be taken lightly in any case. In environments with mold, many people experience nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, throat irritation, skin irritation and cough. People who have specific allergies to mold can experience much more severe symptoms. Those with pre-existing lung conditions can develop serious infections from being in an environment with mold- so, with all of this in mind, it’s clear to see that mold should be eliminated from any property as soon as it’s discovered.

The Steam Team Process To Eliminate Mold

As soon as you inform us of your mold problem, a team of skilled technicians will be on their way to fix it. To begin the remediation process, our technicians will fully examine the damage and determine the best course of action. Then they’ll extract any water and fully dry the area before containing the affected area to prevent the mold from spreading. Our technicians will then dispose of all affected materials and complete a full evaluation and treatment of your AC and HVAC systems. Then they’ll move on to mold disinfectant and finally, mold damage repair and restoration. By the time they’re finished, no mold or sign that there ever was mold will be anywhere on the property.

You can’t get the same level of service from just any company. The Steam Team offers a 24 hour response, 7 days a week for mold remediation and water damage restoration. (We also offer many more services including carpet cleaning!) For more information, visit The Steam Team website.
