There are some areas of the home that tend to get the most attention when it comes to cleaning. Carpets, windows, sheets and linens, and more are generally the focus of most cleaning efforts. Yet, it’s the smaller details, the more out-of-the-way areas that can actually impact cleanliness tremendously.
The upholstery in your home is one of those things that has a tendency to get overlooked far too easily. What is upholstery? This could include curtains and drapes, cloth furniture, and more.
If you’re not cleaning the upholstery in your house on a regular basis, such as every time you vacuum the floors, you may experience a great deal of dust lingering in your house, collecting on shelves, pictures, the windowsills, and more.
It’s important to keep up with the cleanliness of the upholstery throughout your entire house. This can include vacuuming couches and recliners, washing the sheets and blankets consistently, taking the curtains and drapes down and washing them every once in a while and vacuuming them weekly in between.
Just because those curtains over your windows don’t look all that dirty, that doesn’t mean they are clean. Many curtains have a tendency to be dark or have a variety of colors on them. That makes it difficult to see the dust that collects over time.
However, every time you throw open those curtains to let the sunlight in, you may also notice little dust particles flying, getting reflected in the beam of sunlight pouring into your house.
All of this upholstery that collects dust and dirt will generally kick it backup when disturbed. Then it settles on your shelves, your carpeting, and other surfaces.
If you haven’t had your carpets professionally cleaned in a long time, this is the time to do it. You can also have the carpet cleaning service take care of the drapes and other upholstery at the same time. This will give your home a fresh start and a clean, comfortable feel once again.
