Immediate spot treatments or preventative measures can be done at home, but a deep clean can only be provided by a specialist. A deep clean removes spots not visible to the human eye (like skin oils and dead skin), enhancing the look, feel, and performance of the fabric. Manufacturers recommend cleaning furniture every 24-48 months using a professional service. Instead of replacing or reupholstering your couch, a professional upholstery cleaning service costs much less and is more convenient.

It’s also important to note some additional costs associated with cleaning services: leather and suede couches tend to cost more due to their fragile nature, along with reclining and movable pieces that are more complex to clean. Transportation, labor, and materials can add to the bill; to avoid surprises, request a quote before the service.
