Although you may wash your sheets and vacuum the carpet weekly, few people practice the same diligence with their upholstered furniture. The fabric on your sofa or ottoman gets soiled just as easily as these other textiles. If you encounter any of the following signs, it’s time to schedule professional upholstery cleaning.

How to Tell If Your Furniture Needs Upholstery Cleaning

1. Discolored Fabric

When you spill a bit of wine or splatter pasta sauce on your furniture, it’s easy to spot the stains. However, upholstered furniture may also develop general discoloration over time due to dirt, dust particles, and sweat. Overall deterioration is difficult to notice, so check the inside of cushions or seldom-touched areas under the arms. If the fabric is a different color, the darker areas need to be cleaned.

2. Allergy Flare-Ups

Common allergy symptoms include sneezing, congestion, and itchy skin, and if you notice them happening more frequently, your furniture likely needs to be deep-cleaned.

3. Unpleasant Smells

After you’ve mopped the floors, taken out the trash, and sprayed air freshener throughout the house, encountering a musty or foul odor can be frustrating. The smell may stem from dirty upholstery. Over time, it’s easy for odors from food, perspiration, and pets to absorb into the fabric, and you’ll need professional cleaning to draw them out.
