3 Benefits of Regular Furniture Cleaning

By Upholstery Cleaning

furniture cleaningHow many times have you left for work unknowingly covered in pet hair? When you finally discover the faux-pas, you vow to clean your furniture immediately. Then weeks or months fly by, with your furniture still gathering dust, hair, and who knows what else. Putting off regular furniture cleaning is extremely common, but most people do not understand how detrimental it can be.

Here are 3 reasons you need to stay on top of your furniture and upholstery cleaning:

  1. Vitality and Appearance

One of the most satisfying benefits of keeping upholstered furniture clean is how fantastic it looks after the fact. Chances are good that if you have stains on your furniture, you have not completely lifted them with your own cleaning. A professional cleaning will lift these stains, giving your couch a “just off the showroom floor” look. If you don’t have stains, the accumulated dust, pet hair, and bodily grease will all be removed to make your room look inviting once again. Guests will not have to question how safe it is to have a seat!

  1. Keeping That Money in Your Bank Account

In addition to immediate beauty, cleaning upholstery and furniture on a regular basis will make it last longer. When dirt settles on your furniture it is rubbed into the fabric with a grating effect. As you can imagine, this damages the fabric, breaking it down. Stains also have a detrimental effect, attracting excess dirt and debris. Wear and tear of this sort will significantly reduce the life span of your couch. Furniture should be viewed as an investment to be taken care of.

  1. General Health

For every visible particle you can see on upholstered furniture, there are millions of others that you cannot. In general, people spend a lot of time on their furniture. Bacteria, fungus, mold, and other germs from clothing are transferred to furniture each time it is touched. Vacuuming is a huge culprit, dispersing various particles into the air, which then settle on furniture. Cleaning these items on a regular basis significantly lowers the number of germs and particles present, which in turn helps keep you free of germs, asthma triggers and allergies.

3 Reasons to Regularly Clean Upholstery

By Upholstery Cleaning

clean upholsteryYou love your furniture and after such a big purchase, you want to safeguard your investment. You may have some questions, like:

  • What’s the best way to protect your furniture?
  • How often does upholstery need to be cleaned?
  • Are there benefits to regular cleanings?

Here’s why having your upholstery cleaned is good for your family, your investment, and your health.

Protect Upholstery Appearance

Your furniture experiences regular wear and tear. Even in the most meticulously maintained homes, over time, upholstery starts to look worn. It happens so gradually you may not notice. Regular cleaning prevents buildup from dust and everyday traffic. Homeowners are often amazed after a cleaning to see the dramatic difference.

Protect Your Family’s Health

Bacteria, dirt, and dust mites love soft surfaces. When you sit on your furniture, you shed hair and dead skin cells. Your pets shed hair. Fabric absorbs odors. Moisture from spilled beverages and sweat provides a place for bacteria to breed. All these elements irritate allergies and keep your home from smelling fresh.

Your Upholstery Needs Special Care

You read the labels on your clothes to decide what can be washed and what needs to be professionally cleaned. Do the same with your upholstered furniture. Find the tag or look it up on the manufacturer’s website to make sure you’re cleaning it the right way. Here are some common cleaning codes and what they mean.

  • W – This stands for water, meaning it’s okay to clean small spots and stains with water-based cleaning products. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • S – Only clean upholstery marked with an S using solvents that are water-free. If you use water, you might get a water ring or cause dyes to run and fade.
  • WS or SW – You can use either water-based products or solvents on upholstery with this code, but you might damage the fabric. Test a small hidden area first or opt for professional cleaning.
  • X – Always have these fabrics professionally cleaned, even on small spots.

The best way to make sure your upholstery receives the best care is to hire a professional. Professional upholstery cleaners recommend upholstery be cleaned every 6-12 months, depending on use. Professional cleaning improves durability, removes allergens, and makes your home smell fresh.
