Cleaning Your Upholstery

Upholstery Cleaning

Upholstery is important to take care of, but most people tend to ignore their upholstery unless it gets stained. Your upholstery should be cleaned on a regular basis because if it isn’t, your living space will be open to poor oxygen quality, leaving you and your loved ones open to potential health problems. When the oxygen circulates around your house, it goes through all of your carpet, rug and upholstery, and those parts of your house act as filters or distillers. They trap all the dust and debris in your home, making it difficult to pick up all of it with just regular cleaning.

Cleaning your upholstery is as important as cleaning your carpets. Yes, you can clean your upholstery yourself, and you should, but your upholstery should also be cleaned professionally at least once every year. Having licensed cleaning professionals clean your upholstery will lower the allergens in your home, keeping allergies down to a minimum. If you leave the dirt, debris and past stains on your upholstery, then they will just sink deeper until it can’t be picked up anymore.

When it comes to cleaning your carpets and upholstery, there shouldn’t be one that’s attended to more than the other. Cleaning your upholstery is just as important as cleaning everything else in your home. Most people just clean their upholstery when it gets blotched or gets stained, but just because it doesn’t look dirty doesn’t mean it’s completely clean. Put your upholstery on a list of things to clean on a normal basis because it does make an important difference in the health of your home.

Dealing with the Headache of Water Damage

Water Damage Restoration

It doesn’t happen too often in Southern California, but floods do come up every now and again. A flood can result in a ton of damage, ruining furniture, carpet, upholstery and more components of your home. Floods can also give you health risks if not handled professionally and thoroughly. There can be contamination of water, and even food because of the improper clean-up of a flood. The worst case scenario is that you or your loved ones can become infected. Additionally, there’s an increased chance for mold-growth in your home if your house isn’t properly restored after a flood.

The bottom line is that if you experience a flood, then you will need to hire professional help. Professional cleaners have the equipment for removing water, drying your home and dehumidifying your house. On top of that, professional cleaners have special gear to wear, protecting them from getting infected while restoring your home. If you plan to clean up or restore your flooded home, then there’s a high risk of getting sick. Professional cleaners will also test out your water when the clean up is finished to see that the water purifying system in your home is safe. Professionals will have you covered and get all the steps done thoroughly.

The areas where flooding most often occurs are at places like Escondido or Imperial Beach. Professional cleaners are certified in handling water damage restoration and most are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Attempting to clean up the mess a flood leaves behind is a feat too great to accomplish on your own. Watching a 10 minute video or reading up on water damage restoration for 5 minutes will not be enough in attacking the damage a flood can do. So don’t hesitate to call professional cleaners to help you get the job done the right way.
