Just like your carpets, your Minneapolis upholstery will also need to be cleaned regularly. If your furniture is starting to smell or lose its color, it may be time for the professionals to step in. It’s not often that you get your upholstery professionally cleaned, so it’s hard to know what to expect when the cleaners get there. Our cleaning professionals at Lucas Family Carpet Cleaning care about you and your home, so we want you to be well informed about how we clean your furniture. Here are some things that you should expect when getting your upholstery cleaned.

It takes time

Upholstery is more delicate than carpets. Generally, couches and other upholstered furniture are made up of softer fibers for comfort, which makes them harder to clean. Upholstery also cannot be removed from the frame to clean. Every nook and cranny of your couch is another place for more dirt and grime to get into. We want to make sure that your furniture is completely cleaned by the time we leave, which means it will take time to make sure the job is complete.

Professional equipment

While there are many DIY ways to clean carpets and upholstery, we use specialized equipment that will clean more thoroughly than basic home appliances. Our process and equipment remove more dirt and stains because we use the best cleaners, not sparing any expense. Be prepared to have room for our equipment, and we’ll do our best getting your upholstery cleaner than ever.

Moved furniture

In order to make sure every part of your furniture is cleaned, we will have to move it away from corners, walls, and other pieces of furniture. Dirt and hair can gather in the places that are not often reached by standard vacuuming, which is why we move around your furniture while cleaning. After it is cleaned, we move the furniture back to its original place. For cleaners that use a wet cleaning method might leave your furniture out in a place where it can dry quicker to avoid any future problems.

Space

Similar to other professions, bringing in equipment and moving around furniture will take up some space in your home. If you have children or pets, the day we clean your furniture will be a good day for them to have fun with friends or go to the park. As much as we love pets and enjoy the company of kids, we want them to be safe and for your furniture to get the attention it needs. We will work with you to find a time that best suits your schedule to clean your upholstery.

While some cleaning professionals might add drying time to their list, our unique cleaning process uses little to no water to clean your carpets and upholstery with better results. Learn more about our encapsulating technology, or call us if you’d like to request a quote.
