Upholstery is typically classified as the different fabrics that cover the furniture in your house. Oftentimes, your curtains are considered upholstery. Upholstery is a breeding ground for bacteria and other pathogens. That’s because you interact with your upholstery so often and it is made of so many fibers.
Bacteria, sweat, and other contaminants from your skin will slough off and bury themselves in the fibers of your upholstery. That leads to upholstery that smells bad as well as looks bad. If your upholstery smells bad or looks dirty, you need to hire an upholstery cleaner in Naples Fl. Even if you don’t notice something, you should call a professional. The quality of upholstery degrades so gradually that you might not notice it as it gets more and more stained. You’ll only realize how dirty it was after it’s been cleaned. So, if it’s been a little while since you had it cleaned, you should call a professional.
Steam Cleaning
The best way to clean upholstery is steam. Steam cleaning is not just for carpet. Steam is a great upholstery cleaner because the hot water used to create the steam is very effective at loosening any dirt and chemicals that have built up in the fibers. The steam will be able to penetrate into the fibers and pull out the contaminants. Furthermore, using steam will also help it dry much faster.
Drying Your Upholstery
You need to also dry your upholstery very quickly after it has been cleaned. Professional cleaners who use steam will be able to dry your upholstery in a couple of ways. First, vacuuming up as much water as possible speeds up the process. Also, the very use of steam makes it much easier to dry. The steam is so hot that it is already most of the way to evaporating. The hotter the water is when it is used to clean, the faster it will dry. For more information caontact us at Greener Southwest Carpet Tile & Upholstery Care.
