Why Steam Cleaning a Couch Should Be Done by Experts

Cleaning a couch is one of those chores you avoid until you can’t. It’s not fun, and it’s one of the hardest to get right. Still, it’s not a chore you can ignore for too long. A clean couch elevates your interior décor, improves your indoor air quality, and extends the lifespan of the couch.

When it’s time for steam cleaning a couch, you have to decide between getting a professional to do the job and doing it yourself with rented equipment.

Both options have their advantages and drawbacks, but as  Tucson’s reliable upholstery cleaning giants, we know you’re better off hiring an expert for the following reasons:

Save Time and Energy

Steam cleaning a couch takes time. Professionals need two to three hours to complete the job, even with their experience, practice, efficiency, and superior equipment. If you go the DIY route on the job, you can easily spend double the time to complete the job—especially if you don’t rent the right tools.

Wouldn’t you rather spend time with your family and expend energy on the things that matter?

Better Cleaning Results

Regardless of how hard you work while steam cleaning your couch with rented equipment, you can’t get the same results as qualified experts. They have years of steam cleaning experience and industry-leading equipment that guarantee a high-quality finished result every time.

A professional cleaning team will get more dirt out of your cushion by deploying a more detailed cleaning process. They’ll choose the best cleaning machine and complete the job without using excessive water.

Deep Stain Removal

Professional cleaners can remove more deep stains from heavy cushions and deep fabrics using quality steam cleaning and warm water extraction systems. The size and type of couch determine the right steam cleaning equipment for deep stain removal. If you use the wrong one, you won’t get your desired result.

Increased Lifespan for Your Cushions

Steam cleaning a couch correctly can increase its lifespan. Proper removal of dust will leave the couch looking fluffy and appealing for years.

How often have you thrown out your old couch and bought a brand-new one because of its worn-out appearance? A few professional steam cleaning sessions instead of DIY cleaning (or ignoring the couch!) may save you money. 

Professional couch cleaners will also recommend simple maintenance tips that can help keep your clean upholstery looking great for a long time.

Better Hygiene

DIY steam cleaning can remove some dirt, bacteria, and grime, but it won’t go as deep as professional cleaning. The result is a partially clean couch that may become moldy or develop dirt streaks across it.

Qualified professionals know how to maneuver their heavy-duty equipment for complete dirt and bacterial removal. Your couch will feel as fresh as new at the end of the process with no musty smells.

Improved Aesthetic Appeal

Steam cleaning a couch with professional equipment doesn’t only leave it feeling and smelling new. It will also leave it looking new and more attractive.

If you want your couch looking new again, you need to hire an expert for the job. They know everything about maintaining your couch’s structural integrity and enhancing its appearance. They also know how to slow deterioration. The result is a couch that improves your home’s overall appeal.

Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solution

The cleaning industry is now more environmentally friendly than ever. There’s more emphasis on environmental protection even when providing professional couch cleaning services. Most experts proudly offer sustainable cleaning solutions designed to minimize environmental impact.

Working with a professional when steam cleaning a couch is the best way to ensure the use of low-impact machinery and non-corrosive cleaning agents.

Reduced Stress

When you hire an expert to steam clean your couch, you relax and let the professionals do the job. You don’t have to get involved at any stage of the process, so you don’t have to undergo any stress. Similarly, you won’t have to wait days for the couch to dry. A professional cleaning company will have your couch ready to use in hours.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Your home’s indoor air quality is key to your comfort and health. Food waste, drink spills, and dust buildup on your couch will worsen the indoor air quality over time. Professional steam cleaning will remove the smell from the couch, eliminating the need to spend too much money on scented candles and oil diffusers.

A clean couch is a dust-free couch. When you remove the dust, dirt, and allergens trapped in your couch fabric, you can breathe easy with purer air.

Good Value for Money

On the surface, you might think it’s cheaper to go the DIY route when steam cleaning a couch. However, when you crunch the numbers, the DIY costs add up. First, you need to calculate the number of work hours you’ll need to spend cleaning and drying your couch.

Secondly, you need to calculate the cost of hiring the equipment and buying the cleaning supplies. If you don’t get the job done right the first time, you have to repeat the cleaning session. There’s also the risk of damage to your couch’s upholstery. 

So, unless you’re happy to use your free time for the job and sure of getting the job done correctly, hiring an expert is more value for money.
