For spring cleaning you should go a few steps further to care for your furniture and:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thoroughly inspect and clean your mattresses. Some mattresses should be rotated or flipped once in a while, so check the manufacturer&#8217;s label.<\/li>\n<li>Spot clean your\u00a0<span class=\"spelling\">sofas, love seats, and<\/span>\u00a0lounges. Just put a few drops of mild dish detergent in a bowl of warm water and sponge gently at them.<\/li>\n<li>Take a close look at your lamps, lighting, and wiring. Frayed wiring can be a fire hazard!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>If you discover that your mattresses, sofas, or lamps are worn out or stained, it&#8217;s time to replace them.<\/p>\n<p>The team at our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.matterbrothersfurniture.com\/furniture-store-ftmyers.inc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> furniture store in Ft Myers<\/a> is here to help you find furniture for a clutter-free home.
