If your household is like most households, you probably use your upholstery frequently but rarely care for it properly. Have you ever tried upholstery services? When was the last time you clean your upholstery? It is surprising how many homeowners do not know the answer to this question.
Upholstery absorbs oils, dust, spills, fur, allergens, and a host of other things on a daily basis. Your upholstery may need to be cleaned if you have no idea when it was last cleaned. It is important not to over-clean your upholstered furniture, as this may cause damage to the fabric. How should you clean your upholstery?
Surface Cleaning
Vacuuming your upholstery regularly, just like your carpet. Vacuuming between cleanings is essential to keeping upholstery free of dirt, dust, and allergens. We recommend surface cleaning to keep upholstery as clean as possible. Additionally, this is a crucial step before deep cleaning the upholstery.
Deep Cleaning
When determining how often to clean upholstery, there are a few factors to consider. A room where children and pets are more likely to use the upholstery should have more frequent deep cleanings. Professional upholstery cleaning is typically recommended at least once or twice every two years unless you notice a musty smell, the upholstery has been frequently used and abused by children or pets, or if the manufacturer recommends more frequent cleaning.
Spot cleaning and vacuuming are do-it-yourself tasks, but cleaning the upholstery is best left to the professionals. Professional upholstery cleaners know which cleaning method and product work best for different fabrics. Spot cleaning is okay to remove stains, but the right cleaning solution is important to avoid permanent stains.
