FURNITURE CLEANING
DUST is the #1 enemy of upholstered furniture. Gritty matter blows in through open doors and windows and impregnates itself on your furniture cushions and back. Then when you sit on the cushion the oils from your skin compress the dirt into the fabric where it’s almost impossible to remove with vacuum cleaning.
The abrasive action of the grit pressing into the fiber CUTS the fibers like a knife – that’s why your furniture wears out. Then combine this with pollens, food crumbs, dust mites and their nasty fecal pellets…your furniture is literally awash with soil within a the short span of just a year (with an average family). If you have pets and kids your furniture needs to be cleaned thoroughly at least once a year.
BACTERIA AND GERMSWHY DOESN’T DIRT SHOW?
Because today’s fabrics are designed to HIDE dirt with patterns and colors, but just because it doesn’t show doesn’t mean it’s not there.
IS PROTECTANT NECESSARY?
You benefit by having us apply our protectant any time we clean your carpets, rugs, and furniture. Our protectant makes it more difficult for spills, spots, and stains to PENETRATE to the interior of the fibers (where they cause permanent color change). The protectant keeps messes on the surface where they can be more easily cleaned.
Some fabrics have protectant applied during manufacturing process. The protectants degrade over time with use and cleaning and must be "refreshed" from time to time.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY FURNITURE CLEANED?
If you’re a retired couple and live in your home 6 months a year…probably every 2 or 3 years. If you have an active family with 3-5 kids and pets – I suggest at LEAST twice a year.
FOUR TESTS YOU CAN DO YOURSELF TO DETERMINE IF YOUR FURNITURE NEEDS PROFESSIONAL CLEANING
TEST # 1: THE "SLAP" TEST – surface dust
Place a bright light over the top of one of your sofa cushions and using a stick (like a paint mixing stick or wooden spoon) whack the cushion 2-3 times. Observe the amount of dust that is released into the air. If you see a cloud of dust, your furniture needs to be cleaned.
TEST #2: THE BLACK CLOTH TEST – embedded particulate
Use your vacuum cleaner attachment nozzle and take a piece of thin black cloth and rubber band it to the end of the vacuum hose – let it drape into the hose a little way. Put the upholstery tool on the end of the hose. Now turn the vacuum on and run it across the top of the cushion. Take off the upholstery tool and Observe all the dead skin, dander, and other particles.
TEST #3: THE WHITE TOWEL TEST - protein soils
Take a small amount of windex and spray it on a white terry cloth towel. Now go and briskly scrub it across one of your seat cushions or arm covers. Look at the towel. Any questions?
TEST #4: THE SNIFF TEST - malodors
Completely exhale. Place your nose 3" above the seat cushions and waft the surface air to your nose in a fanning motion. Do you notice any odors? Soil accumulations foster bacterial growth that feed on fibers, contaminants and creatures living in the fibers of your furniture fabrics. If your furniture smells funky it’s an indication that it should be professionally cleaned as soon as possible.
