The Importance of Upholstery Upkeep

1. Appearance – Keeping up the appearance of the home and office is the main motivation for people seeking professional cleanings. Investing your time or money in regular cleanings will stop dirt and grime from accumulating, keeping your furniture looking better and improving its lifespan. This can be important to those who frequently entertain socially, and is critical at the office to maintain a look of professionalism at all times.

2. Family or employee health – Mold, fleas, bacteria, and allergens make themselves at home in the fibers of your upholstery, and are largely unaffected by vacuuming. These pathogens can accumulate to dangerous levels where they can pose health risks to family, friends, and employees, and also emit unpleasant odours.

3. Air quality – Bad air quality can cause a variety of respiratory problems, and bacteria-laden upholstery is a serious contributor to subpar air quality. Consider that each time a family member or employee plops into their chairs, gusts of low-quality air are being expelled from the upholstery.

Suggestions for upholstery cleaning

A variety of professional furniture and drapery cleaning services are available. Steamatic agents combine hot water and emulsifying agents to eliminate bacteria, or alternately can employ a Lambrite dry-cleaning technique to drapes.

We are very happy with the repairs and with Avalon Steamatic. Your team is fantastic! From the initial survey and analysis of the damage by Dave, to Kevin’s team with their excellent carpentry and cabinet making skills, to the excellent work by the cleaning staff, and to your readily accessible self, keeping us in the loop on everything – we were in good hands, and we thank you. I’m pretty sure this was our second time around (second water damage) claim that your company looked after, and it was reassuring to have such a professional company restore our property. We would certainly recommend Avalon Steamatic for anyone going through a similar experience.
