Upholstery cleaning is not something we think about every day, but it can really improve the air quality of your home! Regularly cleaning your home through vacuuming and other standard efforts is a great way to remove superficial dust, dirt and other items from your upholstery. You understandably want your home to look and smell clean, but you also need the air to be clean and fresh. While your regular cleaning chores can remove some of the dirt, bacteria and other particles from your furniture, some material is left behind. These particles can build up in your furniture over time, and they can result in a dirtier, smellier and altogether unhealthier home. Furthermore, dirty upholstery can directly reduce indoor air quality. Indoor air quality is something that is relatively easy to overlook until respiratory symptoms become problematic. However, this is a component of your indoor environment that should receive regular attention from you. When your home’s indoor air quality is poor, dust and other debris may settle on your furniture and other surfaces very quickly after you clean them. This gives your home a dirty look even if you have recently cleaned. Poor indoor air quality can also result in a smelly home and an increased risk of respiratory conditions. When you are looking for exceptional home cleaning tips, an important tip is to focus on improving indoor air quality through periodic deep cleaning efforts. Your upholstered furnishings are a leading cause of poor indoor air quality. Regular deep upholstery cleaning is necessary if you want to keep your home environment as clean and healthy as possible. Regular vacuuming is simply not enough. Why Upholstery Can Be Problematic… Before you schedule upholstery cleaning services for your home, it is important to understand why these surfaces require special attention. When you use your chairs, sofas or other upholstered furnishings, your body brings bacteria, dander, dust and allergens to the fabric. Because fabric is porous by nature, these elements can become embedded in your furniture. Excellent home cleaning tips will tell you that regularly vacuuming your upholstery is a great way to remove superficial debris on your furniture. However, more significant cleaning steps are also needed for the best results. After all, debris can become so embedded in your furniture that a vacuum cleaner is ineffective. Deep cleaning efforts can remove debris and particles that are too deep for your vacuum’s suction power to reach. Why Special Upholstery Cleaning Services Are Needed Furniture in your living room and in many other areas of the home may be used regularly. Just as you deposit some debris on these surfaces each time you...

Pets also shed their hair and skin and bring dirt inside on their bodies. These particles float around and become trapped all over your house. They can cause reactions to those with asthma and related allergies. Vacuuming will get rid of these things and keep you healthier. Carpet fibers and fabric trap dirt and dust. They need to be vacuumed regularly before the dirt attaches to the fibers. If not, the dirt will become ground into them. This will make them more difficult to clean and it will wear the fibers down, giving a dull appearance. Vacuuming will keep your carpet and upholstery looking new for a longer period of time, which will save you replacement costs. Lastly, vacuuming will make you feel good, knowing its clean and give you a sense of accomplishment. You should vacuum at least twice a week, more often in high traffic areas and daily if you have pets.
