You likely already know the impact that your carpets and area rugs can have on your indoor air quality, but did you know that even your upholstered furniture can play a role? Many of us cozy up on our couches and chairs with our family, friends, and pets for years without cleaning them. And while you can cover up odors with sprays and perfumes, nothing removes built-up dirt like a professional cleaning.
Discover all the ways your dirty upholstery may be impacting your indoor air quality and then schedule your upholstery cleaning with our team at Springer!
Hidden Pollutants in Upholstery
Your upholstered furniture acts like a sponge, absorbing everything from dust and dirt to pet dander and pollen. Over time, these particles start to accumulate within the fabric and become a breeding ground for bacteria, allergens, and even mold. Whenever you sit or lie down on your furniture, these hidden pollutants are released back into the air, affecting the quality of the air you and your family breathe.
Allergens & Respiratory Health
If you have allergies or respiratory issues, dirty upholstery can be an even larger problem. Dust mites, pet dander, and pollen trapped in your furniture can trigger allergic reactions and worsen asthma symptoms. Regular upholstery cleaning removes these allergens, reducing the chances of flare-ups and aiding better respiratory health for everyone in your home.
Unwanted Odors
Odors will likely be the first thing you notice when your upholstery needs a deep cleaning. As we mentioned, you can spray your couch with perfumes, but the source of the problem will remain. Odors from pets, food spills, and everyday use can be absorbed into your furniture and linger in your home, affecting the overall air quality and making your space less inviting to both you and your guests.
Professional upholstery cleaning removes visible dirt and eliminates these embedded odors, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean.
Mold Growth
When it’s humid, upholstery can hold moisture, leading to mold and mildew growth. Mold spores can lead to various health issues, including respiratory issues and allergic reactions. Regular professional cleaning and drying can prevent mold from growing on and in your furniture, ensuring improved air quality.
