Regular Cleaning of Your Lounge or Sofa is Essential for a Healthy Home
By regularly cleaning your lounge or sofa you maintain its appearance and also ensure a healthy and comfortable living environment.
Over time, sofas accumulate dirt, dust, allergens, and even bacteria, which can affect both the longevity of the furniture and the health of those who use it. Professional lounge cleaning (upholstery cleaning) offers a thorough and effective solution to these issues.
How often should you have your upholstery professionally cleaned?
Spartan Carpet Cleaning, Newcastle’s carpet and upholstery cleaning specialists, generally recommends having your lounge professionally cleaned at least once every 12 to 18 months. This time frame ensures that accumulated dirt and contaminants are removed before they can cause permanent damage to the fabric or affect indoor air quality.
However, certain factors may warrant more frequent cleaning:
- Usage: If your lounge or sofa gets heavy daily use from pets, children, or frequent guests, it may accumulate dirt and stains more quickly. In such cases, scheduling professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months can help maintain cleanliness and prolong the life of your furniture.
- Allergies and Sensitivities: Individuals with allergies or respiratory issues can benefit greatly from regular professional cleaning. Upholstered furniture can trap dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens, exacerbating symptoms if not cleaned regularly. More frequent cleaning—every 3 to 6 months—may be necessary for those with severe allergies.
- Spills and Stains: Promptly addressing spills and stains on your lounge can prevent them from setting and becoming more difficult to remove. Professional cleaners have the expertise and equipment to tackle tough stains effectively, restoring the appearance of your furniture.
Techniques professionals use to clean upholstery
Professional lounge cleaning involves specialised techniques and equipment designed to deep clean upholstery fabrics without damaging them. Steam cleaning, for example, is a popular method that uses hot water extraction to remove dirt, allergens, and bacteria from deep within the fabric. This process not only cleans but also sanitises, leaving your lounge smelling fresh and looking revitalised. Learn more about our Newcastle Upholstery Cleaning services here.
What homeowners can do to maintain a clean lounge
In between professional cleanings, there are steps you can take to maintain your lounge’s cleanliness. Regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment helps remove surface dirt and dust. Using removable, washable covers or throws can also protect your lounge from spills and wear.
why you should invest in a professional upholstery clean
Investing in professional sofa cleaning not only enhances the appearance of your furniture but also contributes to a healthier home environment. By scheduling regular cleanings based on usage, allergies, and the presence of stains, you can ensure that your lounge remains a comfortable and inviting place for relaxation and socialising. So, if it’s been a while since your last professional cleaning, consider scheduling one soon to enjoy the benefits of a clean and fresh lounge. Get a quote from Spartan here.
