In many cases, upholstery cleaning is a worthwhile service. Couches, arm chairs, and other upholstered furniture are typically used daily, so they quickly get dirty and can harbor germs and bacteria. Cleaning services can not only make your fabric look new again, but they can also remove odors and disinfect the surfaces. Upholstery cleaning is also far more affordable than replacing a soiled piece of furniture, in most cases, so it’s the most cost-effective solution for dirty couches, chairs, ottomans, and more.

In some cases, yes, it’s safe to spray hydrogen peroxide on your mattress, but the solution can damage memory foam mattresses, so you should only use it on non-memory foam mattresses. If you have a standard spring mattress, you can mix hydrogen peroxide with cold water in a 1:1 ratio and spray that on your urine-soaked mattress. If you’re cleaning pee out of a memory foam mattress, swap out the hydrogen peroxide for white distilled vinegar, or call in a professional mattress cleaner to avoid doing damage to your mattress.
