Don't ruin your couch... The type of fabric matters how you clean it!

ServiceMaster of Prescott provides upholstery cleaning, Specialty Cleaning, and other professional furniture cleaning for both wet or dry cleaning fabrics
Many sofas made today are made of microfiber textiles or leather, and require different forms of treatment. Microfiber sofas tend to gather more dirt and this dirt can makes its way deep into the fabric.  Leather furniture doesn’t usually have this problem, however, it can become sticky, rough, or discolored if it is not regularly taken cared for.

When cleaning your furniture it is important to care for it the right way. ServiceMaster of Prescott offers professional upholstery cleaning to help keep it looking newer longer! Here are some suggestions in case you decide to try it yourself...




What are the basics to cleaning a couch?

When working on a microfiber sofas, the most common way of treatment is to locate the soiled areas and remove the dry dirt and debris first. If the soil is deep into the surface of the fibers a cleaning solution must be place onto the area and allowed to absorb and then removed using a steam applicator or another type of special vacuum. Keep in mind microfiber sofas are commonly made from polyester, and should not be drenched water for a long time, as this can leave permanent marks.

As with microfiber sofas, dry soil and debris should also be removed from leather sofas before beginning any treatment. Thankfully with leather sofas only surface treatment is usually required. This is done with a combination of soft detergents and oils made for restoring leather. Keeping leather moisturized is key to giving the sofa a longer life.

Should I have a professional handle the job?

Treating a sofa is a meticulous job that requires good body strength and a bit of patience. If done poorly it can do more harm than good. An amateur can cause damage by using too much water, using the wrong chemicals or detergents, or failing to remove all of the mess. It is very difficult to remove stains or deep soil without a professional vacuum and formulated solutions that a professional cleaner makes and uses. It is particularly important to have a professional clean your leather furniture as the smallest mistake will often result permanent scaring.

Certified professionals are trained to remove dry and penetrated soil from your upholstery. With powerful vacuums, safe cleaning solutions, and well-designed wet applicators, the professionals at ServiceMaster of Prescott will have no problem with restoring your upholstery.

Just as important is how the furniture dries after treatment. It is often the case for armatures to leave too much water behind after treating the sofa, and this can facilitate mold growth. A professional knows exactly how to treat the sofa without causing drying issues, making this a much safer option for a family.
