Why and who should clean upholstery?

Why Upholstery Cleaning Requires Skilled Experts

Many assume that any carpet cleaning company can easily transition into upholstery cleaning. However, this assumption couldn't be further from the truth. Upholstered fabric is an entirely different challenge than cleaning carpets. While most carpets can be categorized by fiber content and construction, upholstery comes in a vast array of styles and qualities, demanding hands-on experience to be effectively cleaned. Upholstery cleaning is a specialized art that requires patience, skill, and a deep understanding of various cleaning methodologies.

Upholstery Cleaning Complexity

Quality upholstery cleaning is far more intricate than simply attaching shoddy accessories to carpet cleaning machines. The technician must possess a thorough grasp of essential cleaning procedures that guarantee excellent and safe results. Unlike carpet cleaning, which typically offers about four basic methods, upholstery cleaning demands a meticulous combination of several techniques. A skilled upholstery cleaner must be proficient in six or seven detailed procedures to tackle the diverse materials and constructions found in the field.

Experience and Expertise Matter

To successfully clean upholstery, a technician needs both industry-related education and hands-on experience. Upholstery fabrics vary widely, requiring intimate knowledge and familiarity with different products and procedures. This expertise surpasses what an average technician can provide. At Classic Care Services - Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning, we pride ourselves on possessing the necessary skills and experience to deliver outstanding results for our valued customers.

The Importance of Regular Upholstery Cleaning

Why should you have your upholstered furniture professionally cleaned regularly? The answer is simple: you use it almost every day, spending a significant amount of time on it. Body oils, odors, hair, skin fragments, beverage spills, and snacks accumulate over time. Because upholstered fabrics are woven, they trap an astonishing amount of soil and particles. Hold up a sofa cushion to a sunny window and agitate it – what do you see and smell? The accumulation isn't just unsightly; it can also affect your health.

While aerosol cans claim to clean or freshen fabric, they often leave behind residues. These residues can be harmful when inhaled, particularly when you or your loved ones are spending time on the furniture. Many upholstered fabrics are sensitive to dyes and improper cleaning methods can lead to permanent damage. The texture, look, and feel of the fabric can be forever altered if cleaned incorrectly.

Routine cleaning is crucial for maintaining not just the appearance but also the health and longevity of your upholstered furniture. Even if the fabric doesn't seem visibly soiled, it's essential to clean it regularly to prevent the accumulation of unseen particles. Not only will this contribute to a healthier living environment, but it will also save you money in the long run, as less soiled fabric requires less intensive cleaning.

At Classic Care Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning, we understand these intricacies and strive to provide you with upholstery cleaning that goes beyond the surface – ensuring a cleaner, healthier, and more durable furniture.

0Effective area rug cleaning is essential to the good health of your family. Research at Duke University revealed that dust particles found in homes are capable of carrying hormone-altering chemicals that make the human body gain unhealthy weight. Amounts of dust as small as 3 micrograms are capable of causing measurable health complications for children. Dust particles contain synthetic, natural and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are inhaled, ingested and absorbed through the skin. Dust lodged in your blinds furniture or carpets could be a primary culprit for breathing problems. When you neglect cleaning for an extended period, these particle's get into the air and pollute the air quality, potentially resulting in respiratory issues long term.
