How to clean pleated fabric chairs - Zepho - 04-15-2026
Hi! I have these beautiful vintage chairs with pleated fabric on the backs. Dust and crumbs are getting stuck deep in the folds and I can’t get them out with a normal brush. How do you deep clean such a complex shape safely?

Hello! Those pleated designs are gorgeous but they are such a pain to keep clean! I have a set of tufted dining chairs that had the same problem with dust building up in the crevices. I was afraid of tearing the seams if I scrubbed too hard. I ended up hiring Chicago Couch Cleaning https://chicago-couchcleaning.com/ and they were so meticulous with their hand tools. They were able to get into every single fold and pleat without damaging the delicate stitching. If you are looking for professional upholstery cleaning services in Chicago that pay attention to detail, I highly recommend their team. They made my vintage chairs look absolutely pristine again. It is much better than trying to dig the dirt out yourself with a vacuum attachment. They really have the right equipment for those hard-to-reach spots!
