5 Gross Things in Your Minneapolis Couch

The Minneapolis cold weather often keeps us inside where it’s more cozy. Gathering on the couch to watch good movies and play games is a great pastime that a lot of people will take part in. One thing you don’t want to think about is all of the dirt and grime in your couch while you spend your time indoors. Upholstery cleaning can clean many things in your couches and chairs, but there are common particles that should be cleaned often. 

Dust and Allergens

Dust is always in the air along with allergens such as pollen. Families with many allergies might want to consider annual carpet cleaning to make sure everyone stays healthy and comfortable. Lots of dust particles can clump together and wear down your upholstery faster, making the lifespan of your couches much shorter. Regularly cleaning out the dust embedded deep in your upholstery will help extend its use and keep it feeling newer longer.

Pet Dander and Food Particles

Pet hair is not just an allergen for some people, it can get tangled in your upholstery fibers. Similar to dust, pet hair can wear down your upholstery and shorten the use of your upholstered furniture. Both pet hair and food particles leave a smell in the upholstery which can be cleaned out. If you eat on the couch, food particles can fall in between the cushions and mold over time.

Dead Skin and Hair

It is gross to think about, but humans shed hair and dead skin all the time. These act similarly to dust and pet dander in that it can wear down the fibers in the upholstered furniture. However, it overall just seems gross to think about.

Grease and Oils

From oils on our skin to grease from things we’ve touched to other materials with an oily finish. Instead of going into your upholstery, grease and oils will sit on top of the upholstery. That will make your furniture feel oily and less soft. 

Viruses and Bacteria

In the times that we are in, this is the most important benefit to getting your upholstery cleaned. Viruses and bacteria can get stuck on many particles such as dust, hair, and more. A good upholstery cleaning can decrease your chance of getting sick because it removes unwanted particles from your upholstered furniture.
