From your leather sofa to your favorite fabric lounge chair, keeping your upholstery clean can help extend the life of your upholstery furniture, which goes through natural wear and tear. SERVPRO of Southern Staten Island can identify different types of fabric and the best cleaning method for each.

Promote a Healthy Home or Office Environment

Upholstery experiences a lot of daily soiling, collection of dust and wear and tear. Think about how much dust comes in and out of your home or office through open doors and windows and accumulates on your furniture. Cleaning your upholstery on a regular basis not only freshens the material and furniture, but it can also help allergy sufferers by eliminating all of that dust, dirt and allergens. Bacteria and germs can also be removed from furniture on a regular cleaning basis, resulting in a clean and fresh upholstery furniture.

Freshen Fabric

When your upholstery is clean, it create an inviting and fresh environment. Over time, the upholstery fabric can soak up whatever smell is in the air or placed upon the furniture. For example, if you're cooking fish, that smell will linger in the home and settle onto your upholstery. Perfume can get rubbed onto upholstery off of another person.

Save Money in the Long Run

Upholstery furniture can take a beating when used on a regular basis. Not only will cleaning eliminate dirt, dust and bacteria, but it can also help faded furniture and even restore color to a "like new" condition. In the long-run, this will save you from having to purchase another piece of furniture to replace a dirty, faded one.
