A professional cleaner will use tools and cleaning products that can reach deeper into the fabric to remove these contaminants, along with dirt and grime, to keep the air cleaner and to minimise an allergy attack. This is particularly beneficial in the warmer months when allergies can be a problem for so many people.

Upholstery can absorb smells over time which can leave your furniture emitting unpleasant odours. It’s not just pets that cause this issue – cigarette smoke, cooking and other smells can get trapped in the fibres of the upholstery. Many household products simply mask these smells with fragrance. But the odours will just return shortly after, leaving the issue unresolved. Professional upholstery cleaning removes them from the fabric entirely, leaving the item and your home smelling much fresher for a much longer time.

As with any item you invest in, the more care you give it, the longer it will last. The same can be said of your furniture, which can be expensive to replace. The longer contaminants stay on your furniture, the harder it can be to remove them and the more likely it is that they’ll break down the fibres of the furniture. Regular upholstery cleaning can keep them looking great for longer and prevent staining and damage from ruining the appearance. With a professional handling the job, you can also ensure that protectants are added to prolong the condition even further.
