SERVPRO provides professional upholstery cleaning to the Dallas community

Do you have kids? How about pets? Maybe you just have dirty friends. In any situation, there may come a time when you need to clean up your carpets and upholstery.

You may first ask yourself if you should go the DIY route and rent one of those machines at the local grocery store. But, how can you be sure that you’re using the right cleaners and equipment for your precious belongings?

If you’re new to cleaning upholstery or have expensive furniture you cannot afford to replace, a professional team should take care of the job. The benefit of experts is in their knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment. (Plus the clean, allergen-free upholstery that you get to enjoy afterwards.)

If you want to increase the life of your furniture, improve the quality of the air in your home, and remove damaging dust, allergens, and bacteria, hiring a restoration specialist is your best option. What’s more, it’s totally affordable!

Let’s discuss the five major reasons why you should hire an upholstery cleaning service.

1. Our Dallas Professionals Are Trained For The Job

Cleaning upholstery well is not something anyone can do. The right approach to the task demands practice and knowledge. This includes deciphering pressure levels as well as the perfect mix of water and cleaning products. Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning is more complicated than using a vacuum, and our team members are trained to know exactly how to handle every job.

The work from a well-trained cleaner will be different from that of someone working on a big, clunky machine for the first time (no offense — it’s not your fault they’ve been renting the same machines for 100 years). Many homeowners end up having to hire a cleaner after trying a rented machine because the results were not what they had hoped for. Save some money and time and opt for a service from the get-go!

2. Professionals Know How To Handle All Materials

Not every upholstery fabric is created equal. Without a good knowledge of fabrics and their characteristics, you risk damaging your furniture. A cleanup and restoration team, on the other hand, can handle different types of fabrics, and they have specialized products and equipment for even the trickiest jobs.

Knowledge and precision are especially important if you own antique or heirloom furniture, or luxury rugs and carpets. Making a simple cleaning mistake such as using too much water or the wrong cleaning product can damage the fibers, leading to a loss of value or making the furniture completely unusable.

3. A Professional Cleaning Improves Air Quality

The main reason for cleaning your upholstery and carpets is aesthetic. Many of us like to “keep up with the Joneses” — we want our homes looking good and our furniture looking new. But, hiring cleaners also has health benefits: doing so improves air quality.

Over time, allergens, dust, and bacteria accumulate inside the cushions of your soft furniture. Vacuuming may take care of surface material like pet hair and dander and other dirt, but it doesn't clean deep enough to remove all the things that make their way inside. A cleaner's equipment is meant to remove all the allergens that accumulate inside your furniture and reduce the air quality of your home.

Also, pet odor removal is a great service offered by restoration and cleanup firms. This is something that you may find difficult to achieve on your own. Odors tend to set deeply into fabrics and cushions. You may take care of the visible stain, but some of the smell makes its way inside and requires a deep cleaning to remove.

After an upholstery cleaning, your home will be healthier thanks to the removal of allergens and bacteria.

4. Professional Cleaning Extends The Life Of Your Furniture

Did you know that dust plays a part in the thinning of fabric on upholstered furniture? Microscopic sharp corners from dust and dirt weaken the fibers of your fabric, leaving it looking somewhat pale and tattered. With residential and commercial restoration services, that damaging dust is removed and upholstery is kept looking new for longer.

What does this mean for you? Well, more years of comfortably enjoying your favorite movies on the couch, or elegantly hosting dinner parties with beautifully upholstered dining chairs. The Joneses will be so jealous.

In the long run, this will save you money, since you do not need to replace your furniture as often. For best results, we recommend cleaning your furniture every one to two years, depending on use, presence of pets, or other causes of damage and smells like smoking.

5. Professional Cleaners Use The Best Equipment

What you’ve probably gathered by now is upholstery cleaning machine rentals do not always give you access to the best and latest cleaning technology. These machines can be old, misused, or broken, and you won’t know until you’re about to start your project. Reputable cleaning and aftermath cleanup companies use the best equipment available to ensure faster work and exceptional results. As an example, SERVPRO of North Irving provides upholstery cleaning in Dallas and uses only the most advanced materials and methods.

The right tools make for the right results. Specialists maintain their equipment in tiptop shape which ensures the cleaning services are consistent.

How To Make The Best Of Your Professional Cleaning

So, you’ve decided to invest in a cleaning and restoration service for your upholstery and carpets. Good choice! Now here's how to make the best out of the service:

Vacuum everything first. Just before the cleaners come, vacuum the areas and the furniture that will be cleaned. This will remove most of the pet hair, dirt, and dust on the surface. Because these particles are difficult to remove once wet, it's better to take them off before the deep cleaning begins.

• Point out stains and other concerns. If you have specific concerns with stains or bad smells, make sure to point them out to the team who comes to your home. They will know what to look for and make sure they have everything they need to take care of the problem.
• Enjoy this free time. The time cleaners spend cleaning your upholstery is the time you have to do something for yourself. Brew your favorite tea and read a book. Head outside and play with your kids. Enjoy these few hours that you will NOT be spending on house chores.
