A sofa absorbs dust, dust mites, pet hair and the small spills of everyday life. Professional cleaning once or twice a year extends its life and improves indoor air quality, especially with children, pets or people with allergies.
Read the care label
Most upholstered furniture has a care code under the cushions:
- W: water-based cleaning possible;
- S: solvent only, no water;
- WS: water or solvent;
- X: vacuum only, cleaning by a professional.
Give this code to the cleaner: it determines the method to use.
Cleaning methods
Depending on the fabric, the professional uses hot water extraction, low-moisture cleaning or dry cleaning. Leather needs specific products and a conditioner to keep it from drying out or cracking.
Pets and odours
Hair, urine stains and pet odours need special treatment. Mention them before the appointment so the technician brings the right products.
What to do before the appointment
- clear access to the furniture and to an electrical outlet;
- remove decorative cushions and objects;
- point out stubborn stains and their source (coffee, wine, ink);
- plan not to use the furniture while it dries.
Carpets, sofa and ducts at the same time
Many Brossard families have their carpets, furniture and ventilation ducts cleaned during the same visit. It’s more convenient and the house stays clean longer. See also our guide to carpet and duct cleaning in Brossard.
