Importance of Upholstery Cleaning

Importance of Upholstery Cleaning

When you picked out each piece of furniture in your house, you did so because you decided it would be a comfortable place to spend your valued time at home, and because you were drawn to how it looked. Over the course of a typical week, your furniture certainly gets put to the test. Whether we’re talking about the sectional in your living room, the chairs around your dining room table or the furniture on your patio, the furniture that makes your home what you want it to be gets put to the test.
 
While keeping your furniture looking good is a good enough reason to consider professional upholstery cleaning, there are actually many other benefits that can keep everything looking the way you want it to look.
 
Improved Indoor Air Quality
When discussing the furniture in your home, your favorite chair or couch can have just as much of an impact on indoor air quality as clean carpet does. The fibers that make up your upholstery can hold onto allergens, dirt, and other debris that you don’t want to breathe in.
 
That’s why it’s such a good idea to have your furniture professionally cleaned periodically. A deep cleaning of your furniture’s upholstery draws out the allergens that it contains, improving the air quality inside your home.
 
Longer Life Expectancy for Your Furniture
The better you take care of your car, the longer it will run. The better you take care of your household appliances, the longer they will last. The better you take care of your furniture, the longer it will last. If left unattended, the stains, body oils and dust can not only hurt the look of your furniture, but they can cause permanent damage.
 
Having your furniture professionally cleaned not only ensures that it looks good, but that it will last longer. Longer lasting furniture leads to longer lasting savings.
 
It Looks Better
Outside of comfort, the way that your furniture looks means more than anything else. Over the course of your furniture’s life it gets sat on, laid on, tracked across by the family pet and so much more. Ultimately, the furniture that you loved in the store may not look the same after years of use in your home.
 
Professional upholstery can work wonders in bringing back the vibrant colors and the high-quality upholstery that made you want to bring the furniture home in the first place. When your furniture looks better your home looks better.
 
Kills Bacteria and Mold
While we all know the dangers of mold, many of us aren’t so familiar with what creates it. Ultimately, mold needs moisture, dust, oxygen and a surface in order to grow. Over the course of your furniture’s life, it gets sweated on, spilled on and tracked across. This means that every necessary element for mold can be found right there in your favorite couch cushion.

A professional upholstery cleaner does far better than simply picking up a bottle of furniture cleaner at the local store and removing a surface-level stains. The processes and chemicals used by trained professionals get to the core level of your furniture, and remove the potential hazards living beneath the surface.
