Leaving The Sofa Cleaning To The Professionals

Do you remember how the sofa first looked when you brought it home? Those hours spent scouting for the perfect set that will anchor the décor of the interior space? Surfing through the internet to find pictures of upholstery choices that will be a stylish addition to your interior space, then moving from store to store searching for the right fit, before settling on the one that made your heart light up? It didn’t come cheap either. Sofa purchases take a huge chunk off the furnishing budget, be it at home or for business premises. It makes sense too, given that the sofa is one of the largest units that in the room, and its state sets the tone of the ambience. Getting a new sofa is an exciting endeavour, as you go about to decorate your home and form a sanctuary for you and your loved ones to thrive in. It’s all fun- until that first spill. Perhaps a coffee mug got knocked over, the wine glass in the hand got tipped over and spilled its contents onto the cushions, or some nail polish dripped onto the sofa arm. Tea, soft drinks, ink blots and even pet urine stains- the unsightly spots can be caused by numerous accidents. They clash with the patterns and colouration of the sofa, taking away its elegance. Over the months, dust builds up within the upholstery as well. During the everyday usage of the sofa, it accumulates grime, ranging from dust and pet dander, the food crumbs that are left behind as people snack while watching some TV, all through to the sweat and body oils that are rubbed off the skin of the persons using the sofa, which end up adhering to the upholstery. Dust mites too thrive within the soft furnishings in vast colonies. These microscopic creatures are sustained by the loads of skin flakes that are shed as persons use the sofa. As the organic matter decays, odours begin developing, making the sofa uncomfortable. In cases such as urine stains, the odours formed are immediate and so pungent that they permeate throughout the interior air space. Gradually, the once-elegant sofa becomes a pale version of its former self. It’s common to find homeowners who even forget how the furniture originally looked like, due to months and years of neglect. Things don’t have to go down this road. You can maintain your units in optimal condition by scheduling regular upholstery cleaning services. 

The sofa cleaning process can get hectic- especially without the requisite skills and equipment that are needed for the task. Heading to the local dealership and renting a cleaning machine may appear straightforward and a cost-cutting measure, but it ends up being a more pricy endeavour. For starters, the units that are available for rent come with reduced power and capacity compared to the industrial-grade machinery that is relied on by the professionals. In a bid to lower the rental costs, and make the units easier to move around and fit into the family vehicles for transport, the component parts, such as the motors and pumps, have their sizes reduced. This negatively impacts on their effectiveness. This means that, even before you have begun the actual sofa cleaning, you are already at a disadvantage. Then there are the risks of the DIY process itself. Simple oversights, such as using too much water than is required, can result in shrinkage of the upholstery, or colour bleeding due to the dyes being leached out. There are some kinds of materials where the use of water itself is not advised as it breaks down the bonds of the essential oils that have been used in the treatment of the material. In other cases, water stains can develop. With regards to the chemicals used, going for products whose pH is not compatible with the material can result in all sorts of problems. Common DIY solutions that are used when dealing with stains on other kinds of surfaces, such as vinegar, ammonia, bleach-based products and lemon solutions- these can end up damaging the upholstery. There are different kinds of material, from the natural and synthetic fabrics to the leather varieties, and each have their unique cleaning requirements. You don’t want to damage your set. Get the task done safely by bringing in the sofa cleaning professionals.
