How to Use an Upholstery Ripping Tool

Mostly, this is done by using padding, fabric, springs or through a leather cover. Surprisingly, these supplies are considerably cheaper and if applied reasonably, these can improve the grace of your furniture.

1
Choose the furniture
First of all, you must decide the furniture whose upholstery you want to rip apart. This can be due to a couple of reasons. For instance, your current upholstery might have expired or it could be just because you have found another one. Therefore, you must only choose the furniture that you want to and ensure that nothing extra is included in this task. -
2
Examine the furniture
After you have chosen the furniture, it is strongly recommended that you examine the furniture thoroughly. You do not want to ruin your furniture, thus is it of utmost importance that you check from where you would start detaching the upholstery. You should turn the furniture upside down and look at all the joints and find the main point where the upholstery connects to the furniture. Here, you must make sure that the chosen area for ripping upholstery is spacious and nothing will halt your way. If there is anything that will be in your arm’s length, you must place it somewhere else. -

Wear eye protection
You must wear eye protective glasses to keep your eyes safe from any particulars or debris that might fall off the furniture as you remove the upholstery. You must never expose your eyes to such situations. -

Use the blade carefully
You must fit the blade in a piece of wood as this will not only ensure your security but you will be able to apply it properly. -

Apply the blade and keep moving upholstery
After everything is in place, it is strongly recommended that you should start applying the blade to the upholstery and keep removing it accordingly. Make sure that you do not damage the furniture and do it calmly. After you have removed the upholstery from your furniture, you must give it another look and make sure that nothing is left behind and everything has been removed.
