When it comes to keeping your furniture looking its best, you might wonder, “Is professional upholstery cleaning really necessary?”. While you can certainly handle some cleaning on your own, the truth is, DIY methods only scratch the surface.
DIY cleaning vs. professional upholstery cleaning
Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning can maintain the appearance of your upholstery, but they often miss the dirt, allergens, and grime that settle deep within the fabric. Over time, this buildup can cause your furniture to look worn and tired which will eventually shorten its lifespan. With professional upholstery cleaning though, this goes beyond the surface to remove embedded dirt and bacteria, leaving your furniture truly clean and fresh.
Protect your investment
The value you place on your upholstery should guide your decision. High-quality furniture is an investment, and like any investment, it requires proper care to maintain its value. Professional upholstery cleaning can extend the life of your furniture, ensuring it remains a centrepiece in your home for years to come. If it’s an old sofa that you’re not too worried about, then a thorough DIY solution might be your best bet. It is important to keep in mind though that when it comes to eliminating unsightly stains or addressing odour issues, DIY methods can only take you so far.
Getting rid of ‘impossible-to-remove’ odours
One of the biggest challenges with upholstery is dealing with odors. From pet smells to lingering food odours, some scents seem impossible to get rid of. Professional cleaners use specialised equipment and solutions to break down these stubborn odours at the source which leaves your furniture smelling fresh and clean again. We feel that this point is really important as our upholstery (could be a couch, mattress, lounge etc) should be something that our family and guests can use without us worrying about whether or not they’re going to spot a stain or smell something they shouldn’t.
To sum it up … although you can do a lot to keep your upholstery clean, professional upholstery cleaning offers a deep, thorough cleanse that can protect your furniture, extend the life of it and eliminate odours. If you value your upholstery and want it to last, professional cleaning is definitely worth considering.
