Think about how much use your sofa gets every single day. It’s where you relax, watch movies, eat snacks, and where kids and pets play. Now ask yourself: when was the last time it was truly cleaned? Your sofa and upholstered chairs act like giant sponges, absorbing dust, skin cells, sweat, food crumbs, and allergens.
What’s Really Hiding in Your Upholstery?
- Dust Mites: Like mattresses, sofas are a prime breeding ground for millions of microscopic dust mites that feed on dead skin cells and can trigger severe allergies.
- Bacteria and Germs: Spills, sweat, and general use create a welcoming environment for bacteria to grow.
- Oils and Grime: Body oils, pet fur, and dirt from clothing leave a grimy residue that dulls the fabric’s appearance and can lead to odours.
- Trapped Pollutants: Your sofa filters pollutants from the air, trapping them deep within its fibres.
The Dangers of DIY Upholstery Cleaning
Cleaning upholstery is not like cleaning a shirt. Using the wrong cleaning product can cause discoloration. Using too much water can lead to watermarks, browning, and even mould growth in the padding if it doesn’t dry properly. It’s a delicate process that requires expertise.
The Professional Solution: Deep Cleaning for Health and Longevity
Professional upholstery cleaning using hot water extraction is the safest and most effective method.
- Fabric Analysis: We first identify your fabric type to select the appropriate, safe cleaning solution.
- Deep Extraction: Our equipment injects a hot water solution deep into the fibres to break down dirt and grime, and then a powerful vacuum extracts the water and all the contaminants along with it.
- Fast Drying: Our professional process uses minimal moisture and powerful suction, ensuring your furniture dries quickly and correctly.
Regular professional cleaning not only creates a healthier environment but also extends the life of your expensive furniture by removing the abrasive dirt that causes fibres to wear down.
