Answering Your Upholstery Cleaning Questions
Why is it important to have my upholstery professionally cleaned?
The importance of professional upholstery cleaning in San Antonio cannot be overstated. Furniture not only holds onto dirt but also allergens and other airborne particles, which can trigger asthma or allergies in those who suffer from them. A thorough professional service like ours will get the allergens, dust, and dirt out of your upholstery so you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Moreover, we’ll leave your upholstery looking, feeling, and smelling great, something that simply can’t be said of conventional DIY methods.
Are you able to remove stains from my upholstery?
One of the phrases that we have at Chem-Dry of Bexar County is: “If we can’t go the stain out, then nobody can.” With our professional upholstery cleaning services, you can get rid of stubborn stains including those resulting from pet accidents. We use gentle processes that remove the root cause at their source so your sofa will look fresh and new!
Plus, we can help protect your furniture from future spills and accidents with our Protectant Package, which boosts the stain resistance of upholstered fabrics and provides a protective barrier for their delicate fibers.
How often should my upholstered furniture be cleaned?
The frequency with which you should have your upholstery cleaned depends on a few factors, including the manufacturer’s recommendations. They typically advise professional cleaning every 24-48 months, but it really depends upon how often people use their furniture and what kind of dirt/dust gets stuck in there over time.
However, if you have kids and pets in your home, you may want to up the frequency with which your pieces are cleaned. Cleaning more often can prevent your furniture from aging as quickly.
Is the process for upholstery cleaning similar to the process for carpet cleaning?
Upholstery must be handled with care when being cleaned because it’s even more delicate than carpet. Additionally, excess water used in the cleaning process can damage upholstery.
That’s what makes our proprietary Hot Carbonating Extraction process such a great option for cleaning upholstery as well as carpets. As part of this process, we use a carbonated solution that releases dirt and dust from upholstery fibers. Then, we extract these contaminants and the liquid solution to leave your furniture clean without the need for excess water or harsh scrubbing.
How long will it take for my furniture to dry following upholstery cleaning?
We use a hot carbonating extraction process that doesn’t rely on excess water usage, so your furniture will dry much faster than with conventional cleaning techniques. However, for certain fabrics or particularly soiled pieces, drying may also need to take place overnight.
