Upholstery Cleaning 101

Floors are easy to sweep, wiping down counters is a breeze, and vacuuming takes no time at all. We’re all used to taking care of the ordinary, easy-to-clean parts of our homes, but when was the last time you thought about how clean your upholstered furniture is?

Your furniture is where you relax after a long day of cleaning the rest of your house, and believe it or not, it can also be just as dirty as the rest of what you just finished cleaning. Some of the reasons you should consider upholstery cleaning include (but certainly are not limited to)…

KIDS AND PETS

Between the bottoms of paws and the soles of shoes, kids and pets are large contributing factors to the cleanliness of furniture kept in your home. In fact, 80% of the dirt and dust that comes into your home from the outdoors actually winds up in your furniture and upholstered fabrics — not in your carpet or rugs, as you might have guessed. What’s left behind is a mess on which dust mites and other allergens can feast, thrive, and spread.

SPOTS, STAINS, AND FOOD

As life speeds up and the dinner table becomes less of a practical location to share a meal with the family, it’s only natural that the furniture that you’ve chosen receives its fair share of the consequences.

Spots, stains, and spills are gonna happen at some point — it’s unavoidable! For all of the food and drink that doesn’t make it to your mouth, consider upholstery cleaning. Thoroughly cleaning your furniture, its cushions, and all of the spaces between them will not only give you a comfortable, more attractive place to relax; it will also prevent the occurrence of another serious upholstery problem…

PESTS

If left undealt with, the first two can ultimately lead to this one — the worst one. It’s easy to pay no mind to the things we sit on, but if left unkept, pests such as roaches, mice, and more can make their way out of their homes and into yours, exposing your family to a wide variety of health-threatening problems.
