UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
We do an awful lot of living on our upholstered furniture, whether it be a sofa, three-piece suite, easy chair, recliner, ottoman, stool or dining chair. All upholstery has to put up with a lot of use and abuse, inevitably accumulating dirt, dust, allergens and stains that can sit on the surface and penetrate into the fibres of the fabric covering, or even the padding of the upholstery itself.
Let’s think about it. Your sofa, for example, is a repository for snack platters, glasses and cups; it doubles as a bed for afternoon naps; it’s the cat or dog’s favourite perch; it gets scuffed with grubby shoes or wiped with sticky fingers. The busier your household is, the more your upholstered furniture will be used, and the quicker it will start to look a little soiled at best, and downright grimy at worst.
You change your bed sheets at least once every two weeks (or even, according to a YouGov poll, every week for around one-third of people). We like to sleep in a clean bed, but we don’t spare much of a thought for sitting on a crusty couch or snuggling up to a mucky cushion that hasn’t had a good clean in ages.
It’s time to wake up and smell the upholstery! A professional deep clean once in awhile will not only make your upholstered furnishings look fresh and inviting, extend its useful life, but also make your home more hygienic, comfortable and cared for.
To find out more about upholstery cleaning
It’s sad to think that most of us admit to happily throwing away and replacing a sofa not because it is broken, worn or torn, but because it is dirty and stained. Instead of throwing it away, it would be so easy – and far less expensive – to keep your grubby upholstered item of furniture out of landfill and have it professionally deep cleaned and treated with an effective stain and dirt repellent.
When it comes to the frequency of professional upholstery cleans a lot depends on the traffic your furnishings experience and the type of fabric the furniture is covered in.
Generally, its recommended that upholstery is professionally cleaned every 18 to 24 months depending on how many people or pets are in your home. If you do have pets that like to recline on your upholstery and the furniture is subject to heavy usage either in a domestic or commercial environment, then we would recommend yearly.
To help in between professionally cleaning, make sure you mop up spills straight away before they soak in with clean white absorbent towel and vacuum the upholstery monthly to help with dust etc.
There’s little doubt that sofas – in fact all upholstered furniture – should be part of your regular cleaning routine. Many people believe they can successfully clean their upholstery themselves, and hiring professional cleaners is an unnecessary extravagance.
