Sofa Cleaning Specialists Just A Call Away
The soiled sofa hoards loads of grime from different sources. For instance, the aerosols, dust, home cleaners and the products used in the room leave behind their residue and particulate matter on the upholstery. It can even be a case of paint overspray, for situations where there were recent renovations being carried out in the home or commercial space. The products used come with a cocktail of chemicals, which can cause irritation to sensitive individuals. Then there are other elements that will gross out you out. For instance, the dead skin cells which are shed by persons using the sofa are fodder for dust mites, and there can be millions of them crawling around your favourite sofa. Sweat and body oils, get rubbed off from the skin onto the upholstery when it comes into contact with it. The same applies for lotions and hair products, which leave behind greasy residue on the cushions. This, in turn, is a dirt magnet, trapping more of the dust particles, resulting in sections of the sofa becoming dark. Are there pets on the premises? Cats and dogs are known for the fur and dander they leave strewn all over the sofa surface, especially those sections that they are fond of napping on. Pathogens also factor in. If there is someone who has been ill in the household, the germs that are coughed and sneezed into the indoor air space can wind up on the upholstery, spreading the infection to others who will use it. In fact, the sofa is the preferred resting point for an ill person, who lays back to recuperate on the cosy cushions. There are also those germs that are brought over by insects and rodents coming to feed on the food crumbs that are on the sofa. You don’t want to be exposing yourself to all these agents each time you take a sit. Have an in-depth sofa cleaning carried out by calling in the professionals.
We handle both fabric and leather sofa cleaning
What kind of fabric sofa do you have in your residence or business premises? They are broadly categorised into natural and synthetic fabrics. For the natural ones, there are materials like linen, which is usually blended with other fibres to increase its resistance to wrinkling. Linen sofas are typically kept in adult areas and formal rooms, where there is reduced risk of soiling and wear. With silk, you have a natural fibre that sets a luxurious and formal look. However, it doesn’t do well in areas with children and pets. What’s more, it is sensitive to wet cleaning, and has very particular products that can be safely used on it. Cotton is more widely used due to its durability, and it’s even applied in blends with other fibres to improve on their texture. Then there is the cellulose-based rayon, that is sourced from wood chip fibres. It’s a tough material, but wrinkles easily. Wool is a durable choice, with its comfort and long-lasting nature making it highly sought after. Synthetic upholsteries include acrylic, which imitates wool and comes with a more affordable price tag; acetate upholstery which has been developed to imitate silk, and though it has a high resistance to shrinking and pilling, it is susceptible to staining and getting scratched; the highly durable olefin that is suitable for sofa sets that are bound to be receiving heavy usage; and polyester which comes in a wide assortment of colours and patterns, giving you more flexibility with the decor you’re setting up. These different materials have their required cleaning methods, especially when it comes to the products used, and aspects such as the amount of water that can be safely incorporated into the process, plus its temperature. Our fabric sofa cleaning crew will apply the suitable approach for your particular set, restoring it to its elegance without putting its structural integrity at risk.
One of the main attributes of leather is that is a highly durable material lasting longer than other upholstery choices. Putting in place a proper sofa cleaning and maintenance schedule will prolong this lifespan. Basically, the leather is animal skin which has been preserved, and caring for it takes a similar approach to how one cares for their own skin. Aspects such as the pH of the products that are used are vital. Chemicals which are too acidic or alkaline will ruin your set. In addition, the leather also needs to be moisturised, just like our skin, otherwise it ends up getting all dry and cracking. The leather upholstery cleaning also aids in prolonging the pigmentation of the unit. That colour and shade of the set was no doubt selected strategically, to bring your preferred sense of style to the decor. You want it to last. However, due to the dirt and grime, contact with oils produced by the skin of persons sitting on the sofa, and also exposure to sunlight, the pigmentation of the leather can end up being compromised, and fades over time. Regular cleaning removes the grime that damages the pigmentation. In addition to the cleaning, the leather is also conditioned. Here, the upholstery is nourished, to restore the protective oils that were lost from the material, bringing back that soft and supple feel. Proper care for your leather units also has the welcome benefit of boosting its resale value. You get to fetch a higher price for it should you choose to sell it later on- perhaps like during the moving process and you’ve organized a yard sale. Speaking of which, fully furnished units being rented out with spick and span leather sofa sets are more attractive to tenants and AirBnBers, that way you get more returns for your real estate venture.
