UPHOLSTERY CLEANING

Upholstery cleaning helps restore the look and feel of the furniture you use every day. Sofas, chairs, and sectionals collect body oils, dust, pet hair, and spills over time, which can dull fabrics and create lingering odors. We clean upholstery by treating stains, loosening embedded soil, and carefully rinsing the fabric so it isn’t left overly wet. The result is fresher, cleaner furniture that is more pleasant to sit on and more welcoming to anyone who visits your home.

CARING FOR YOUR UPHOLSTERY

Furniture manufactures recommend regular, routine maintenance for your upholstered furniture.  This includes routine procedures such as vacuuming, prompt attention to sports and spills and the polishing of finished surfaces. Cleaning helps to keep your upholstery more attractive and prevents premature wear.

​

Upholstered furniture is more susceptible to soiling on arms and seat cushions, as well as the upper inside back, headrests, pillows and skirt areas. Using arm covers and rotating seat cushions frequently prolongs fabric life and appearance. Vacuuming and, depending on fabric durability and construction, brushing upholstery routinely is recommended to remove dust and particulate soil. Most spots and spills can be removed easily if the excess is scooped up or blotted and treated immediately with plain water or neutral spotters. If ignored, these spots may bond to fibers, possibly causing permanent stains. Immediate spot cleaning is essential. Extreme caution must be observed when spotting leather or “dry clean only” fabrics.

Periodic professional cleaning of your upholstered furniture is recommended. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the furniture’s location, use and exposure to soiling. The greater the level of soiling, the less the likelihood of restoring the upholstery’s original color, appearance and texture. Thorough, professional cleaning should be performed by experienced, trained technicians before soiling causes permanent damage to fibers, dyes or fabric texture
