3 Reasons to Keep Your Upholstery Clean

May 2, 2019

When cleaning your home you may focus on things like vacuuming, dusting, and sanitizing the countertops and bathrooms, but you may be missing a major source of dirt and germs in your home. Upholstery, much like carpeting, can house dirt and debris that could be causing damage to both the furniture and your lungs. Upholstery cleaning can be a great addition to your routine cleaning for many reasons. Let’s look at some reasons it’s important to keep your upholstered furniture well maintained.

Longevity

By maintaining your furniture with routine cleanings you can ensure it lasts as long as possible. Cleaning upholstery can extend its life by reducing stains and maintaining its appearance long term. In addition cleaning will help protect the fabric and materials used to upholster the furniture which can help it keep its shape longer than furniture that isn’t maintained. This maintenance can make your furniture last longer, saving you money in the long run, despite the cost associated with routine cleaning.

Cleanliness

In addition to longevity, upholstery cleaning also reduces dirt, allergens, and germs from your home. Like carpets, upholstered furniture can become riddled with dirt, dust, and germs that can impact your health long term. The dirt and dust that accumulate on your furniture can become airborne when the furniture is used which then can lead to allergies and illnesses. By having your furniture routinely cleaned you can reduce the buildup of these allergens in the furniture.

Appearance

And finally, furniture is meant to look nice. You’ve chosen specific furniture based on the way it looks and the style you want your home to be in. By cleaning furniture you can maintain its appearance, keeping it looking like the day you bought it. While quick treatment of things like spills and stains are essential, routine deep cleaning can help maintain the original appearance of the piece of furniture. By keeping your furniture looking nice, you’ll also be less anxious to replace it, saving you money.
