Understanding the Impact of Dirt on Upholstery
The abrasive action of grit pressed into the fibers can cut them, leading to wear and tear on your furniture. Combined with pollens, food crumbs, dust mites, and their fecal pellets, your upholstered furniture can accumulate significant soil in just a year, especially in homes with pets and children. Regular thorough cleaning is essential—at least once a year!Bacteria and germs thrive in the soils not removed from furniture, resulting in unpleasant odors from decomposing materials.
Why Doesn’t Dirt Show?
Today’s fabrics are designed to hide dirt with intricate patterns and colors. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there!
How Often Should I Have My Furniture Cleaned?
- For a retired couple living in your home part-time, consider cleaning every 2 to 3 years.
- For an active family with kids and pets, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year. Call Spic & Span Cleaning Services at (805) 930-2600 to schedule your cleaning!
Is Fabric Protection Necessary?
Applying carpet and fabric protection during cleaning helps keep spills, spots, and stains from penetrating the fibers, making them easier to clean. While some fabrics come with factory-applied protection, it wears off over time, necessitating refreshing.At Spic & Span, our carpet cleaning technicians are also experts in upholstery cleaning.
