Your Upholstery Cleaning Questions Answered

How often should my upholstered furniture be cleaned?

The frequency with which upholstered furniture needs to be cleaned depends upon several factors. The first is the manufacturer’s recommendations. Typically, manufacturers advise having upholstered furniture professionally cleaned every 24–48 months.

However, if you have kids and pets in your home, you may want to up the frequency with which your pieces are cleaned. In addition, if any people within your household have allergies or asthma, cleaning upholstery more often may help alleviate some of their symptoms.

Is the process for upholstery cleaning similar to the process for carpet cleaning?

Upholstery is even more delicate than carpet, meaning it needs to be handled with care when being cleaned. Additionally, it can be damaged when excess water is used in the cleaning process.

Why is it important to have my upholstery professionally cleaned?

Even in homes that are carpeted, upholstered furniture plays a major role in trapping dust, allergens, and other airborne particles. Because professional upholstery cleaning is so thorough, it is the right choice for your hardworking furniture.

Regular cleanings ensure the upholstery isn’t overwhelmed with dust and debris. Moreover, a professional cleaning will leave your upholstery looking, feeling, and smelling great, something that simply can’t be said of conventional DIY methods.

Can stains be removed from my upholstery through professional cleaning?

Yes! Our upholstery cleaning services can remove some of the toughest stains, including stains resulting from pet accidents.

Can a professional also clean my leather or suede furniture?

Professionals won’t just leave your leather upholstery sparkling clean. They can also restore and protect leather furnishings. As a result, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your leather couch or sofa.
