Did you know that one of the most neglected and overlooked part of the house is the upholstered fabrics and furniture? Most homeowners prioritize mopping and vacuuming floors, dusting windows and freshing up their living rooms, but sometimes or never even bother to deep-clean their couches. Meanwhile, business offices simply dust mop their couches and don't usually bother cleaning for pollen, germs, stains, and blemishes.

As recommended by American Home Furnishings Alliance, a group which represents manufacturers and importers of home furnishings in the United States, couch and upholstery cleaning for residences should be every 18 to 24 months and at least every 12 months for commercial offices.

Now when it comes to cleaning furniture especially upholstery, it is highly advisable to hire a professional’s services. As simple as it may seem, cleaning furniture upholstery by yourself is not an easy task. If you have a new or valuable piece of furniture, it is not worth the risk to clean it personally because some materials require different types of cleaners. Which can cause damage to the material rather than making it brand new? To prevent damage, it is necessary to know the right cleaner for the appropriate furniture material to use.

If you plan to have a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) project in cleaning furniture, you have to weigh the timeframe it would take to clean them all against hiring professionals. The cost of your valuable time should be accounted for and how long it would take to fix it on your own compared to the cost of a professional’s services.

Each and every cleaning company has its own cleaning ways and techniques. Below is the generally accepted step-by-step process in cleaning upholstery:

Step 1: Examining and identifying the furniture upholstery as per cleaning codes.
The cleaning codes are reference codes as to what kind of cleaning is suggested and can be found under the cushion of the base.

Cleaning code samples: "W": Water compatible/can tolerate a water-based upholstery cleaner; "S": Water non-compatible /dry-cleaned with cleaning solvents; "S/W": Combination of dry-cleaning solvents/ water can be used; "X": Never cleaned with water or solvents; vacuuming is necessary.

Step 2: Preparing the furniture.
This is done by cleaning the furniture using dry white cloth or brush for removing any dust, dirt, pollen, food crumbs, stain, blemishes, and lingering odors.

Step 3: Clean the upholstery
Each company has its own secret cleaning formula or techniques to best clean your furniture. For an expert upholstery cleaning company in Northeast Florida, contact ServiceMaster by PWF.
