Why you should steam clean or deep clean your padded furniture?Usually, the upholstery is made out of several materials for more comfort and durability. This is great for when you need to relax, but is hard work, when cleaning.
With time and usage, bacteria settles in deep inside the soft materials of your furniture. This bacteria can include residue from old stains, dust, dirt and even dust mites. It can cause sneezing, headache and even allergies in the residents, if it is not cleaned regularly.

But you can always book professional upholstery cleaners to do this task for you. How is the deep cleaning procedure working?First, you should always try to find a reliable deep cleaning provider in your area.
You will recognize a good cleaning company by the insurance they provide for their services and their cleaners. A reliable company will also offer you a free price estimate and a customised service according to your personal situation. Opt for a deep cleaning or steam cleaning procedure.
The cleaners should first make a test to determine the type of fabric they will be working with. This way they will be able to choose the right detergent and temperature they can apply on your furniture. This minimises the chance of damaging your upholstery.
Next, they will pretreat any hard or stubborn stains, which will loosen up the fibres and prepare them for the next step. The special hot water extraction machine will insert water, mixed with a cleaning solution deep within the layers of upholstery. The hot temperature combined with the solution will dissolve any grime and kill the bacteria and dust mites.
