The most important thing to realize when your upholstery needs cleaning is that there isn’t one method that works for all materials. Even one type of fabric can have variations that require different cleaning processes. Because this is the case, it is important to hire upholstery cleaners that not only have professional equipment and cleaning products, but also have the experience and training to recognize the type of material and use the right method to clean it. They have to keep up with new materials as they are introduced and used to create furniture and automotive seats.

One case in point is the use of microfiber material. There is not just one type, yet they often look much alike.  Some microfiber is water safe and others are not. If you use a water-based cleaner on the non-water safe microfiber, you will leave a permanent water mark on it. It takes someone that understands this to keep from ruining your nice sofa.

Another thing to recognize about upholstery cleaners is that some have a stain resistant feature that may need to be reapplied after a cleaning. If this step is not done, the furniture will no longer have this protection, and it may be impossible to remove certain stains that happen after that.

One really good time to use a professional upholstery cleaner is when you are getting ready to return a leased car or trade in a car. You will stand a better chance of getting top dollar if the seats are nice and clean. This gives the dealership the impression that you took good care of the vehicle, so they know you also maintained the mechanical parts of the car. In the case of a lease, the dealership could possibly charge you to clean the car anyway, so taking care of it yourself could end up costing less money in the long run.
