Is Professional Upholstery Cleaning Worth It? 

Is professional upholstery cleaning better than doing it yourself? If the stains are impossible to remove or that nasty odour doesn’t just go away, hiring a professional to clean the upholstery is the way to go. It’s also the case when the fabric is delicate (e.g. silk, velvet, suede) because a professional can safely clean the upholstery and ensure there will be no damage. 

How often should upholstery be professionally cleaned? 

Once or twice a year is already enough to protect the fabric and remove any lingering odours from the couch. Professional cleaning will also make the couch look and smell refreshing (smells comfortably brand new). Often it will feel like you have a new couch because of the deep clean on the upholstery done by a professional. 

Also, a professional deep clean can remove the accumulated stains and dirt before they cause permanent damage to the fabric. They might leave a permanent mark on the surface that’s impossible to remove. Also, treating a permanent stain might leave an unsightly mark because it already deeply penetrated the fabric. 

If your couch hasn’t been professionally cleaned for years, there’s a chance that the spills and stains have settled permanently. That’s why it’s important to have your couch undergo deep cleaning once or twice a year. This way, the spills and stains won’t get a permanent foothold in the fabric. It’s also a good way to clean up the sites where bacteria and fungi might be already thriving (they might be causing that nasty lingering smell). 

You can also have your sofa undergo a professional deep clean if there’s an upcoming event in your home. If you have guests coming over, they might immediately notice a dirty-looking sofa that smells weird. If you don’t want that to happen, a professional upholstery cleaning service can save you and the day.
