Why Upholstery Cleaning Is Essential

Upholstery can hold up to 200,000 bacteria per square inch. While that’s an unsettling fact, it highlights just how important it is to clean your furniture regularly. Here are the top reasons to invest in professional upholstery cleaning:

1. Healthier Home Environment

Dust mites, pollen, mould spores, and bacteria can live in upholstered furniture. These allergens can contribute to respiratory problems, skin irritation, and allergies. Our deep cleaning process eliminates these hidden contaminants, creating a cleaner and healthier home.

2. Prolongs the Life of Your Furniture

Over time, dirt and grime break down fabric fibres, causing your furniture to look old and worn. Regular professional cleaning not only restores its original appearance but also extends its lifespan by protecting the materials.

3. Removes Stubborn Stains and Odours

DIY spot cleaning often leads to watermarks or spreading the stain. At Clarks Carpet Care, we use specialised stain removal techniques and solutions tailored to each fabric type, ensuring stains are removed safely and effectively.

4. Enhances the Appearance of Your Home

Clean upholstery instantly lifts the look of a room. Whether you’re preparing for guests, selling your home, or simply taking pride in your space, fresh-looking furniture makes a significant difference.

Our Upholstery Cleaning Process

At Clarks Carpet Care, we follow a detailed multi-step cleaning process tailored to your specific upholstery material:

Step 1: Inspection and Fibre Testing

We begin by inspecting your upholstery to assess its condition, fibre type, construction, and any specific issues such as stains or wear. This helps us determine the most effective and safe cleaning approach.

Step 2: Vacuuming and Dry Soil Removal

Using industrial-strength vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters, we remove dry soil, dust, pet hair, and debris from all surfaces and crevices of the furniture.

Step 3: Pre-Treatment

We apply an eco-friendly, fabric-safe pre-spray to loosen embedded dirt, oils, and stains. This step is vital for breaking down contaminants before the main cleaning process.

Step 4: Agitation

A soft upholstery brush or hand tool is used to agitate the pre-treatment solution, working it deep into the fabric without causing damage.

Step 5: Hot Water Extraction or Low-Moisture Cleaning

Depending on the fabric type and soiling level, we use either hot water extraction (steam cleaning) or a low-moisture method. Our equipment deeply cleans the fibres while extracting dirt, allergens, and residual cleaning solution.

Step 6: Stain Treatment

Persistent stains are treated individually using specialised solutions. We’re skilled in removing stains from wine, coffee, ink, grease, and more.

Step 7: Fabric Rinse and Neutralisation

To ensure your upholstery is left soft and residue-free, we apply a fabric rinse that balances pH levels and prevents re-soiling.

Step 8: Deodorising and Sanitising (Optional)

For households with pets or smokers, we offer an optional deodorising and sanitising treatment that eliminates odours and kills bacteria.

Step 9: Final Grooming and Drying

We groom the fabric to restore its texture and speed up the drying process using air movers and ventilation.

How Often Should Upholstery Be Cleaned?

As a general rule, we recommend professional upholstery cleaning every 12 to 18 months. However, if you have pets, young children, allergies, or heavy use, more frequent cleaning may be beneficial.

Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning can help maintain your furniture between professional cleans, but nothing compares to a deep clean by experts.
