Upholstered furniture brings comfort, coziness, and texture into a space, giving it more dimension. However, upholstery also collects dirt, dust, pet dander, and other contaminants that can damage the material over time and impact indoor air quality. To keep it in excellent condition and extend its lifespan, it’s important to invest in professional upholstery cleaning.
How often you should have your upholstery cleaned depends on a variety of factors, such as the following:
- Residential vs. Commercial – Residential and commercial indoor environments can differ greatly. Commercial spaces have more people and more contaminants being introduced each day, including bacteria and viruses, so upholstery cleaning in a commercial setting should be done more frequently. Every 3–6 months may be necessary for high-traffic areas like lobbies where customers are coming and going all the time. For a home, every 12–18 months should be enough.
- Presence of Pets – If there are animals present, it may be necessary to increase the frequency of upholstery cleaning. It’s important not just to clean off shed fur but also to deeply clean the fibers of the upholstery to remove pet dander, which can trigger asthma and allergies. Schedule professional upholstery cleaning at least once a year.
- Allergies – If members of your household or employees in your office suffer from allergies, the dust, dirt, and other contaminants in the upholstery could be contributing. Schedule professional cleaning every 6–12 months to help relieve allergies.
