How It Works

Step-by-Step: Rescue Water-Damaged Furniture

Follow these proven steps to dry, clean, and restore your furniture before damage becomes permanent.

1

Remove Excess Water Immediately

Use towels to blot up as much liquid as possible. For larger spills, a wet-dry vacuum can speed up the process. Never rub, as this can force water deeper into the material.

2

Dry Thoroughly and Circulate Air

Position fans or dehumidifiers around the affected furniture. Open windows if weather allows to improve airflow. Avoid direct heat sources, which can warp wood or shrink upholstery.

3

Clean and Disinfect Surfaces

Wipe down wood with a gentle cleaner. For fabrics, use appropriate upholstery solutions to prevent stains and odors. If you’re unsure, see our post on How to Handle Delicate Surfaces for more guidance.
