3 Reasons to Consider Scheduling Upholstery Cleaning

Upholstery cleaning is something that can be easily overlooked. You may not consider upholstery as something that requires regular professional cleaning but you would be surprised at the difference it makes. Here are three reasons you should add it to your cleaning list to schedule along with your next carpet cleaning:

1. Upholstery collects allergens like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander. A deep cleaning will rid your home of these unwelcome guests. 

2. Bacteria has the tendency to gravitate to hard to reach cracks and crevices in your upholstery. This hidden bacteria can cause an odor and negatively affect your health.

3. Over time your upholstery can fade as it collects dirt, dust, and grime. You may not notice the change in color as it can happen gradually. Getting it cleaned regularly will keep it looking its very best!

Maintaining Upholstery with Dogs in the Home

It's no surprise that dogs and upholstery don't always go together well. However, there are some things you can do to maintain your upholstery with a fur baby in the home:

1. Vacuum your upholstery regularly (at least once a week) to remove pet hair and dirt. Pet hair contains oil that actually ATTRACTS soil so this is very important.

2. Rotate the cushions occasionally, particularly in places that are favored by your pet, to promote even wear.

3. Reduce the amount of dirt and other unwanted particles tracked into your home and onto your upholstery by wiping your pet's paws when entering the home.

4. Cover with a sheet or blanket, as these can be washed frequently. You may also consider purchasing a slip cover for more protection.

5. Clean regularly. Professional cleanings can help to keep your upholstery looking good. It's important to schedule these on a regular basis as the passing of time can turn spots into permanent stains.
