Do You Know What’s Living in Your Furniture?

No one ever wants to think about how dirty their home is. Sure you notice the slight layer of dust collecting on table tops and lamp shades, and it’s easy to see when the carpet in your living room or tile in your kitchen needs a good cleaning. But what about your furniture? Have you thought about how dirty your couch might be? Your furniture collects just as much dirt, if not more, as your flooring. So what’s living deep in the fibers of your couch and how do get rid of it with upholstery cleaning? Just keep reading.

When you purchased your brand new couch, chair, sectional, or loveseat, you probably never imagined you would need to get it professionally cleaned, at least not for a very long time. Well as the days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years, your furniture has been collecting a lot of dirt and grime. Just what might be living in your furniture? Besides, dirt, dust, bacteria and allergens there are a plethora of other things shacking up on your couch besides you and your family.

Remember when you swore you would never let the pets on the furniture? Well, in case fluffy didn’t follow the rules you now have pet dander, fleas or ticks rummaging around on your sofa too. Does your pet shed? Their hair is also littered over your furniture along with pet drool. Oh yeah, you’re not the only one drooling when you take a nap on the couch. Fluffy’s drool is all over it too. Are you cleaning off your pet’s paws when they come in from outside? If not, your pets are bringing dirt and debris from outside onto your furniture as well. Think about that the next time you curl up on the couch to watch a movie.

What if you don’t have pets? You shouldn’t have to worry about cleaning your furniture, right? Wrong. Skin oils, food and liquids have seeped into your furniture, too. Every time someone has sneezed or coughed on your furniture without covering their mouths, well their germs are all over your furniture.
