When it comes to keeping your home clean, most people focus on vacuuming carpets and mopping floors. But what about your sofas, chairs, and fabric furniture? The truth is, upholstery cleaning is just as important as carpet cleaning, and often overlooked.
In this blog, we’ll explain why cleaning your upholstery regularly is crucial for maintaining a healthy, fresh, and beautiful home—and why combining both carpet and upholstery cleaning gives you the best results.
1. Upholstery Traps Dust, Allergens & Bacteria
Like carpets, upholstered furniture absorbs dust, allergens, pet dander, and bacteria over time. Even if it looks clean on the surface, pollutants are trapped deep within the fabric.
Without regular cleaning, your furniture can become a breeding ground for allergens, leading to breathing problems, skin irritation, and worsening of asthma or allergies.
2. Say Goodbye to Lingering Odours
Smells from pets, food, smoke, and spills often linger in fabric furniture. These odours build up gradually and can affect your entire living space.
Professional upholstery cleaning eliminates deep-seated odours and freshens up your home—something surface sprays can’t do.
3. Prolongs the Life of Your Furniture
Dust and debris can wear down upholstery fibres over time, causing your furniture to look tired, discoloured, or aged. With regular professional cleaning, you remove abrasive dirt and preserve the fabric, keeping your furniture looking newer for longer.
4. Removes Stains and Improves Appearance
From wine spills and food stains to muddy paw prints, your upholstered furniture goes through a lot. DIY cleaning may fade or damage fabric, but specialist upholstery cleaning lifts tough stains without harming the material—restoring your furniture to its original look.
5. Complements Carpet Cleaning for a Healthier Home
If you clean your carpets but neglect your furniture, you’re only doing half the job. Dust and dirt from your sofa can quickly transfer to your clean carpet—and vice versa.
For the most effective deep clean, it’s best to get your carpets and upholstery cleaned together, creating a fresher, more hygienic environment for your family.
