Quality furniture, whether it's a comfortable couch in the living room or a love seat in the den, is built to last. But, unfortunately, parts can become filthy and lose their brilliance over time.  Upholstery cleaning is an excellent way to revitalize your furniture. If you're curious about how the procedure works, here are some frequently asked questions and their answers.

Answering Common Questions About Upholstery Cleaning

What does the process involve?

The procedure will be determined by the fabric, its state, and the presence of rips or other symptoms of damage. Most upholstery cleaners will begin by vacuuming the furniture thoroughly to remove crumbs, hair, dust, and other debris.

With sophisticated suctioning equipment, the entire piece is then washed and shampooed. After that, the furniture is rinsed to eliminate any leftover cleaning solution. The final step ensures everything is dry.

How long does it take to dry?

The amount of time it takes to dry an item depends on its size and fabric. Smaller love seats and chairs may just take a few hours of drying time, while larger items may require up to 24 hours. 

Cushions are removed during the drying process to allow adequate air to pass around and through them. Replace the cushions and don't use the furniture until the drying step is finished.

Is it necessary for me to have my furniture cleaned on a regular basis?

Upholstery cleaning will be required more frequently in a busy family with children and pets than in a home with fewer people. Consider making an appointment for the former at least once a year to keep your furniture clean and lovely. Have a professional cleaning done every two or three years for the latter.

Is there a way to keep my furniture clean?

Inquire with the upholstery cleaner about using a protective solution. This adds another layer of stain and spill resistance. Vacuum your furniture once a week to remove dust and food particles. To avoid discoloration, wipe up any spills right away.
