Most Common Upholstery Cleaning Questions

If you’ve tried DIY upholstery cleaning, you have probably realized the results aren’t nearly as thorough or effective as you’d hoped. Partnering with a leading upholstery cleaning company can ensure your furniture is properly cleaned. Professional upholstery cleaning provides the peace of mind that comes with keeping your favorite pieces of furniture in their best condition. You can also feel better knowing how much healthier your home is thanks to the comprehensive process used by the experts at Prime Chem-Dry.

We’ve listed some of the questions we commonly receive below along with thorough answers from our experts. Armed with this information, you can take the necessary steps to make certain your upholstered furniture is clean, healthy, and looks its best!

 

 

How Often Should My Upholstered Furniture Be Cleaned?

The frequency depends on several factors. The first is the manufacturer’s recommendations. Typically, manufacturers advise having upholstered furniture professionally cleaned every 24-48 months. 

However, if you have kids and pets in your home, you may want to have them cleaned more often. On top of that, if anyone in your household has allergies or asthma, cleaning your upholstery more often may help alleviate some of their symptoms.

 

Is the Process For Upholstery Cleaning Similar To Your Carpet Cleaning Process?

Upholstery is even more delicate than carpet, meaning it needs to be handled with care while being cleaned. Additionally, it can be damaged when excess water is used in the cleaning process. 

That’s what makes our proprietary Hot Carbonating Extraction process such a great option for cleaning upholstery as well as carpet cleaning. As part of this process, we use a carbonated solution that releases dirt and stains from upholstery fibers. Then, we extract these contaminants and the liquid solution to leave your furniture clean without the need for excess water or harsh scrubbing.

 

Why Is It Important To Have My Upholstery Professionally Cleaned?

Even in homes that are carpeted, upholstered furniture plays a major role in trapping dust, allergens, and other airborne particles. Because professional upholstery cleaning is so thorough, it is the right choice for your hardworking furniture. 

Our professional technicians can help your upholstered furniture filter harmful contaminants from the air. Regular cleanings ensure the upholstery isn’t overwhelmed with dust and debris. Moreover, we’ll leave your upholstery looking, feeling, and smelling great, something that simply can’t be said of conventional DIY methods.

 

Will Stains Be Removed From My Upholstery With Professional Cleaning?

Yes! Our upholstery cleaning services can remove some of the toughest stains, including those resulting from pet accidents. 

Plus, we can help protect your furniture from future spills and accidents with our protectant package which boosts the stain resistance of upholstered fabrics and provides a protective barrier for their delicate fibers.

 

How Long Will It Take For My Furniture to Dry Following Upholstery Cleaning?

Because our process does not rely on excess water usage, your furniture will dry faster with Chem-Dry than with conventional cleaning techniques. For most of our clients, their furniture dries within a matter of hours. However, for certain fabrics or particularly soiled pieces, drying may also need to take place overnight.
