3 Benefits of Professional Upholstery Cleaning

There’s no denying that your couches, sofas, and other upholstered furniture are among the most frequently, if not the most used items in the house. Over time, they can collect many germs, dust, dirt, allergens, bacteria, pet dander, and human hair. These microbes and bacteria can stay hidden in upholstery fibers for a year if the furnishings are not regularly cleaned.

Here are some of the many benefits of cleaning them professionally. 

Improved Health, Hygiene and Air Quality

Upholstered furniture can retain several sources of indoor air pollutants, including dust, dirt, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, pesticides, and other allergens. When you sit or do any other activities on your upholstered furniture, the pollutants can get released into the air and negatively impact your air quality. This can lead to a wide range of respiratory and other health problems. Professional upholstery cleaning helps to remove dust mites, bacteria, and other allergens, and ultimately helps your family breathe easier.

Increase Longevity of Your Furniture

Dirt and dust build up in the upholstery fibers can cause them to appear dull and grungy, and lead to wear and tear. Sitting, resting, sleeping, and doing other regular activities can further push dirt and debris deep into the upholstery. Upholstered furniture with high traffic, such as couches, are affected the most. Regular cleaning gives your furniture the refresh they need to remain healthy and fresh.

Removes Dust Mites and Bedbugs 

Many homes have dust mite infestations. But because the creatures are microscopic, many homeowners are unaware of this problem. While dust mites themselves aren’t allergens, their feces and body fragments are. Bedbugs can also find a home in your upholstery and can bite you, any small children, and pets in the home. You must clean your upholstered furniture regularly to avoid health problems from dust mites and bedbugs.
