When it comes to upholstery cleaning, taking the easy road may do more harm than good. Refresher sprays, such as Febreze, can help cover light odor. However, these sprays do not take the place of cleaning throughout your home. Couches, recliners, and curtains are examples of upholstery that need regular professional cleaning services. Not convinced you should hire professional upholstery cleaners at least once per year? Here are a few reasons to rethink your plan.
Cleaning Cover Up
Most refresher sprays will cover up an odor by introducing a new, more pleasant smell. This tactic is like plain old air freshener that comes in handy in the bathroom. Using a fabric refreshing solution is a temporary odor fix and the musty or dirty smell will eventually return.
Upholstery Cleaning Gets Straight to the Source
Using a spray to improve the smell of furniture does not eliminate the source of odor. Endy’s Carpet Cleaning will thoroughly vacuum, steam, and clean your furniture to get rid of debris causing foul smells. Our experienced technicians can also detect and remove mold in furniture that could result from a damp environment. No matter how delicate the fabric, we take our time to thoroughly inspect and clean each item in your home.
Allergies Beware
The most common allergens around your house are dust and mold. Professional cleaning services help keep dust and mold growth to a minimum. Research shows that scented air freshening sprays, even those labeled for upholstery, can trigger allergic reactions. Asthma sufferers can also be sensitive to refreshing sprays. Symptoms of allergic reactions are wheezing, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes. To play it safe, rely on regular professional cleaning services and skip drowning your furniture in refresher spray every day.
Increase the Lifespan of Your Upholstery
The soft fabrics of upholstery are prime targets for gathering dead skin cells, microscopic particles, grime, and mold. Refreshing spray for upholstery does not remove stains or dust. To keep your furniture looking great, vacuuming regularly is the easiest chore you can do. Additionally, invest in a regular upholstery cleaning service. Your upholstery will last longer and prevent you from having to replace your furniture sooner than your bank account wants.
