White Stools



White stools can be gorgeous and add beauty to any décor, whether they are accent pieces or meant to stand out among everything. White, however, as you probably know, is very difficult to keep clean. There are several different types of white stools and each has specific care directions to keep them looking new and cleanly white. Whether your stools are patent, white wood or white cloth upholstery, there is an optimum way to take care of them to keep them looking nice.

The problem with white patent is that every speck of dirt or scuff will show up very well, as well as a tendency to yellow with age and time. To remove stains or scuffs on the patent, use a bleach pen to gentle rub them away, and always make sure to dry the upholstery after you’re finished. Clean the white stool with cleaners made especially for patent leather; otherwise it may damage the material. Applying mineral oil or olive oil can help improve the shine and sheen of the material, but always use substances that are patent-safe.

White stools made from white wood are also difficult to keep clean because of the contrast between them and any dirt that may accumulate. Always use a soft-bristled brush and always dry the wood entirely after cleaning. Use specialized wood cleaners and use gentle pressure, trying to clean along the grain if possible. Wood polish made especially for light color wood will help keep your white stools keep their shine and natural color, as well as provide protection for them.

The trick to cleaning white upholstery or cushions is to use the right materials. There are several options for cleaning the white of materials, including having them professionally cleaned. But with the cheapest price of professional cleaning running at an average of $150, doing it yourself could be just as useful. One of the best substances to use is OxyClean, and making sure to use a specialized upholstery brush to clean your white stools. Using harsh chemicals or anything that is deeply colored will only damage the fabric and cause discoloration. OxyClean is also good for maintaining the white hue of the material, avoiding the yellowing that sometimes occurs.
