Professional Carpet Cleaning...HAPPY Carpet Cleaners

Upholstery is not carpet. Profoundly simple statement but it implies differences in how it is cleaned. Upholstery does not require a "deep" cleaning. The material is usually thin so that cleaning solutions are designed not to penetrate the fabric as much as solutions designed for carpet. typically the material needs to be treated more gently thing carpet. Not all fabrics can be wet cleaned. A professional needs to be able to determine the correct method; whether it can be cleaned wet or if it requires a low moisture method.

The fabric will attract dust just as much as carpet. So a thorough vacuuming is required before getting the fabric wet.

Cleaning furniture is not as simple as cleaning carpet. There are special techniques and concerns that the technician needs to be aware of. There is a lot more surface area, with crevices, corners, edges, skirts, flounces, an separate cushions. It can take as much time to clean a sofa properly as it does 2 rooms.

Read the Complete Consumer's Guide to Carpet Cleaning regarding carpet cleaning. Much is the same for furniture, just modified.

Price: You will find that some companies will clean a sofa for $49 and some will charge as much as $150. What makes the difference? The difference lies in the quality and thoroughness of the work. If all you are looking for is a quick cleaning on a inexpensive sofa, then the $49 cleaning may be adequate for you. But if you have furniture that you intend on keeping and you want to know it is thoroughly and properly cleaned, then don't choose just any cleaner. You get what you pay for so you will most likely need to expect anywhere from $100-$150 for a average sofa cleaning.

Some of the factors involved will be :

1. The type of fabric

2. The amount of soiling

3. The size of the sofa

Furniture Protectant: Once your furniture is clean, just like carpets, you should really consider applying a Protectant to the fabric. It is designed to repel soil, water, and oil. Regular cleaning and protecting will ensure you will get the maximum lifespan out of your sofa, and the maximum out of you investment.
