Determine How Often to Call Upholstery Cleaning Services

When was the last time you hired upholstery cleaning services for your home furniture? Like most people, you probably use your upholstered furniture frequently but don't take care of it as often. This shouldn’t be the case, as upholstered furniture absorbs oils, dust, spills, fur, allergens, and many other things daily. If you're not sure when the last time your upholstery was cleaned, it might be time to consider having it done.

So, how often should you contact upholstery cleaning services? That depends on several factors that we’ll explore right now for the right frequency.

For Surface Sanitation

Upholstery, much like carpets, should be vacuumed regularly once a day. This helps to remove dirt, dust, and allergens that can accumulate over time. Surfaces should also be cleaned regularly to help maintain the upholstery and keep it as free of dirt as possible. This is a crucial move to take before using any deep cleaning methods.

For Deep Cleaning

You can help keep your upholstered furniture in good condition by regularly cleaning it every week, but be careful not to overdo it. 

How often you clean your upholstery will depend on a few factors, such as how much traffic the piece gets and whether kids and pets use it.

Vacuuming and spot cleaning are tasks you can handle yourself, but for a deeper clean, it's best to call professional upholstery cleaning services.

For Homes with Multiple Family Members

Upholstery cleaning companies are usually only hired once or twice a year by most single people. If you smoke, you'll probably want to get it done yearly. If you have more family members, you may need to get it done more frequently, like every nine months.

The method of upholstery cleaning is essential. Hot water extraction, or steam cleaning, won't make the stuffing wet. It only leaves the surface damp. Pre-treatment also helps with odor removal. This is our recommended method because it's the best option for carpet and upholstery cleaning.

If You Have Kids

Even if you take extra care of their surroundings, furniture is bound to get dirty if you have kids. They'll spill drinks and track in the dirt; if they're sick, you'll have an even bigger mess to clean up.

Professional upholstery cleaning services will recommend cleaning every nine months for homes with kids, with regular spot cleaning. Make sure your cleaning company only uses gentle upholstery cleaning methods.

For regular home care, vacuum your upholstery with a hand-nozzle and clean up spills by dabbing with a clean, damp cloth (using only cold water and mild soap). Ensure it is damp, not wet.

If You Have Pets

Pets love to play like kids, so you'll want to get your upholstery cleaned more often. It's essential to keep fleas off your upholstered furniture because their eggs can get embedded in the creases of the fabric. Sometimes there's also the occasional mess you find if your pet hasn't been able to go outside.

Try getting the upholstery cleaned at least twice a year for homes with pets. You can also ask your upholstery cleaning service to do spot cleaning to remove any accidental messes like urine or vomit.
