How to Clean Upholstery Without Leaving a Ring

Unless you and everyone in your home are immaculate all of the time, spills and stains on upholstery from time to time are inevitable. One common problem when stains are removed from upholstered furniture is a remaining moisture ring. Even though water is often used as a means of cleaning upholstery, it can stain furniture if it does not dry quickly enough. Prevent unsightly moisture marks on your furniture by cleaning and drying stains properly.
