Employee Accidents and Incidents
Removing Spots on the Upholstery
If you or one of your team is injured, becomes unwell or is nearly injured it is important that you follow the right steps, for example:
If you are injured or if you start to feel unwell
- Let someone know straight away
- ·No matter how serious or how minor
If you were nearly injured
- Let your supervisor know straight away
Nowadays In most cases spots on the upholstery are not just a cosmetic issue. Moreover, if you leave the spills unattended, they will set in and damage the fabric.
Old stains are more difficult to remove because it is hard to determine their type over time.
At AM Retail Services we know that the best way to prevent stains from setting in is to remove them immediately.
This may sound obvious, but when we are called for upholstery cleaning job a most people admit they often delay cleaning the spills from their sofa or armchairs.
