Upholstery Cleaning Experts Improve Life

If you’ve been to the furniture store lately, you’ve probably noticed how prices have gone through the roof. What once paid for a complete sofa set with a love seat and a coffee table now gets you a chair and an ottoman. Okay, that’s modern life but that doesn’t mean you have to be a slave to high prices to have beautiful furniture. Upholstery cleaning rejuvenates soiled fabrics and the best way to get a great result is to hire an upholstery cleaning service.

More Fabrics Than You Can Shake a Cleaning Wand At

Homes, offices, and even furniture stores need a little sprucing up every now and then. And the variety of fabrics, colors, and designs means it’s probably best to leave the work to professionals. Nobody wants to make a mistake by purchasing a can of foaming something and giving it a go on the living room couch. Fabrics are made of different materials like wool, silk, polyester, microfiber, leather, cotton, and all kinds of things. The colors cover the rainbow and the proper methods for cleaning upholstery may not be rocket science, but it does involve science.

Four Ways To Get Upholstery Clean

Professionals cleaning upholstery have options available to them when it comes to finding the best and most effective way to remove dirt, debris, liquid stains, and other contaminants. Training and experience provide the foundation for understanding which products, chemicals, and cleaning techniques will produce the best result on a particular type or color of fabric. Those options include:

  1.  Using high-pressure and hot water, this method injects water into the fabric before it is removed by a high-volume vacuum. Wet cleaning may or may not include cleaning detergents, soaps, or other cleansers which may affect how fabric recovers from the cleaning.
  2.  Some fabrics accept a mild formula of dry cleaning fluid well and don’t lose their texture or color. Dry cleaning fluid can leave an odor behind and may dull certain fabrics so it is best to leave the decision to use it to a professional.
  3. Sprayed foam rubbed across the surface of fabric can release debris and stains quickly and easily. Different fabrics can react to certain types of foam products. Color-smearing and texture degradation can occur if the wrong product is used.
  4. Natural cleansers and environmentally-safe formulas are important to many people, especially those with allergies or asthma. Green cleaning upholstery eliminates concerns about reactions to cleaning products by humans and pets.

Stay in Shape

The most common problems associated with cleaning upholstery are shrinkage and discoloration. Shrinkage occurs for several reasons including fabric characteristics, chemical reactions, and cushion construction. Regardless of the reason, shrunken fabric makes furniture look misshapen and ill-fitting. Uneven application or removal of cleaning solutions can result in lighter and darker spots appearing on the fabric. Professional upholstery cleaners understand the problem and also understand the solution so that furniture looks like new and not like second-hand store specials.

Pets, Kids, and Party Guests

Furniture gets a lot of use no matter where it is located or the lifestyle it supports. Stains show up and should be removed as quickly as possible to prevent permanent discoloration. By design, furniture uses cushions and cushions absorb liquids. The longer the liquid remains in the cushion, the harder it will be to get it out. If that liquid happens to come from the adorable family pet, then it makes cleaning all the more a priority. Wine or soda, macaroni and cheese or the cat’s territory marking all require knowledgeable and professional upholstery cleaning. Anything else might make the situation worse and not better.

Upholstery Cleaning For All Seasons and All Reasons

Time passes and dust builds up on surfaces, including furniture, where it gets ground into the fabric surfaces. Parties happen and stains suddenly appear out of nowhere. Pookie the wonder dog gets excited and loses control – all over the place! The reasons for getting upholstery cleaned are just as varied as the furniture that needs to be cleaned. Summertime sweat and wintertime grime all contribute to a build-up that can stain and discolor furniture. Getting an upholstery cleaning service to take care of your furniture investment only makes sense.
