Deep Stains

Your couch and upholstered chairs can take a lot of spills before stains get too deep to clean out easily. If your upholstery is visibly stained, it might need to be cleaned by professionals to get out completely. Accidents do happen, but your home shouldn’t take the hit. Say goodbye to stains when your upholstery is professionally cleaned.

Excessive Pet Hair

If you have pets, you know the struggle when cleaning your home of their hair. While there are many other ways to remove pet hair, such as vacuuming and lint rollers, pet hair can go into the fibers of your couch. These are difficult to remove and make your couch look like you have another large pet in your house. Professional upholstery cleaning can get rid of the pet hair stuck in your furniture.

Foul Smells and Increased Allergy Symptoms

There are many stories about free couches that ended up having a terrible smell.
