You might not realize that cleaning the upholstery in your home can have a direct impact on the cleanliness of your carpeting, but it can. You may be religious about vacuuming the carpeting in your home, doing it twice a week, or even more, but if you are ignoring your furniture’s upholstery, it can actually have an impact on the cleanliness of the carpeting.
Here are three reasons why.
Reason #1: Every time you sit down on that furniture, it’s kicking dust into the air.
Just as dust settles on the carpeting, dust and dirt can also settle on furniture upholstery. As a result, if you don’t clean the upholstery on a regular basis, every time you sit down you’re kicking dirt and dust into the air. You may not notice it, but when the sun is shining through your windows during the heart of the afternoon hours, you probably noticed a lot of dust flying in the air. You may have been wondering where that dust came from, and your answer is all around you.
Reason #2: The dust and dirt will transfer to the carpeting.
When you sit down on a couch, for example, you’re not only kicking up that dust and dirt into the air, it’s also clinging to your shirt, pants, and maybe even your socks. When you get up, it will be bouncing from you and drifting to the carpeting.
Reason #3: It inspires more cleanliness.
When you clean your upholstery properly on a regular basis, it will usually inspire you to clean other aspects of your home more consistently. This could encourage you to take the vacuum out more frequently. However, vacuuming alone isn’t enough. That’s why you should rely on a professional carpet cleaning service to come in and wash your carpets and clean the upholstery at the same time.
