Upholstery seems easy to clean in theory, but it gets complicated when you consider how many cleaning designations there are for different kinds of fabrics. While some couches can handle a liquid cleaner, others require foam cleaners, and some should only be cleaned with dry cleaning products to prevent damage. It’s usually best to hire a professional upholstery cleaning service to ensure your couch gets appropriately cleaned and doesn’t get damaged in the process. Professional furniture cleaning is relatively affordable and easier on the wallet than replacing a damaged couch.

Once you’re done cleaning your upholstered chairs, here are a few ways you can keep them looking fresh for longer:

• Use removable chair covers that are machine washable

• Blot spills as soon as you see them 

• Consider treating the fabric with a stain protector

There are a few reasons your area rug smells after cleaning. First, you might have agitated dirt, dust, and pet dander deep in the rug during cleaning, which might smell for a day or two if you didn’t remove it all. Second, if your rug smells like chemicals, it’s possible you didn’t rinse out all of the rug cleaning solution you used. Finally, if you didn’t hang up your rug to dry completely, it could be holding moisture and allowing mold to grow. In any of these cases, it’s a good idea to defer to a professional for help.

Many professionals use high-powered steam cleaners (hot water extraction machines) to deep clean carpets. These machines inject hot water and cleaning solutions into the carpet fibers, extracting the dirt, allergens, and moisture with powerful suction. In addition to steam cleaning, pros may use specialized tools like rotary scrubbers and stain removers for tough spots, along with eco-friendly or commercial-grade cleaning products tailored to the carpet type.
